Lavender Fairy so gentle and pure

at bed time you greet the littles

to calm them as they gently drift

to peaceful slumber.

A favorite part of tucking in my babies at night is dabbing a little lavender essential oil on the soles of their little feet, a little on their wrists and either a drop or two on their pillow cases or a little smudge on their forehead. The scent is so calming and gentle on little one’s skin, and seems to relax both mama and little ones each night. It is mild enough that it doesn’t require dilution too. Even if you’re not “into” essential oils, you may find it easy to fall in love with lavender.
