There is no denying that moms go through the full range of emotions more often than any other being in the world. One minute you are laughing at the silliness of your children, the next you are bawling over the Hallmark commercial playing on TV. I was never this emotional before kids. Honest. I can go from zero to full on waterfalls in .00003 seconds, recovery is not as fast.
Blame it on hormones if you want- they definitely have a role in the emotional rollercoaster- but I personally think the deep connection a mom feels for her children is the cause of the highs and lows. Not only do you hurt deeply when your children hurt but you hurt deeply when ANY child hurts.
I’ve found that I also reflect the emotions of other moms that I’m with. If they are stressed, I’m on edge. If they are heart broken over a sick child, so am I. If they are rejoicing in a milestone, I’m right there with them. I’ve bonded with every mother in the world over our children. Now, my life it emotional enough but taking on the emotion of every mom I come in contact with…well, it’s more like a trip to the moon and back rather than the Space Mountain rollercoaster at Disneyland. Extreme. It’s wonderful that we can take this journey together but it would be nice if things were a little bit more level-maybe even boring, like a drive through the Great Plains, once in a while!
So, I have a secret weapon.
I now carry in my purse (like I really need to carry one more thing…) Aromatherapy Mists from RubyBlaise Essentials. Made from 100% pure essential oils (organic when available), these formulas are like magic. Since life will always be a rollercoaster, I bring my own neutralizer to the party. When my kids are getting snippy with each other, a spritz of Calm Baby Mist transforms the car to smell like a spa on wheels- which is way better than the stinky feet/Doritos smell- with the calming scents of lemon, lavender and vanilla. When I need an afternoon energy boost, instead of coffee, I reach for the Citrus Mist which is an uplifting scent. Happy Mist, another favorite, promotes peaceful feelings that are sometimes needed when you are having a girl’s night out and the conversation turns to stressful topics. Sure we need to vent, share and cry but sometimes it’s better to giggle, talk about meaningless girl things and eat dessert!
If you have not tried aromatherapy, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the healing powers of essential oils! RubyBlaise Essentials is a great company to buy essential oils from because:
- The package is in recyclable plastic bottles
- They use organic oils when available
- The mists are in portable sizes so you can tote along to use as needed
- 12 healing scents to help you relax, help your memory, feel awake boost your immunity and MORE!
- The company is founded by a “holistic-minded Mom of boy/girl twins”. We love to support Mom founded companies!

Thank you Tammy for introducing us to “RubyBlaise” mists. You have convinced me that I need one of each……”RubyBlaise” take me away!
You really do need one of each…We have so many moods to cover!!
yes, I really need one for each mood because I never know which mood is on it’s way! Let’s face it, kids take you in directions you never see coming. Honestly, don’t you wish you could order the jumbo costco sized refill jug to keep those little bottles filled at all times? I love your writing and as always look forward to another installment.
