- Can ask questions and let me know what you may still need help with so that I can continue to cater the course to your needs
What Do People Have To Say About My Organization Course?
“This course was instrumental in helping me organize my space as well as my time. As a busy mom, I have a better grasp on what my days need to include so that I can enjoy my family rather than spend my time spinning my wheels cleaning up after everyone.”
“The Balanced Home Course helped me to be the “professional organizer” for my family! Simple steps to follow, check lists, printable labels, suggestions and worksheets will keep you on track to successfully maintain your own balanced home.”
“I am pretty sure I have solved more issues with the seven layers and clarity tool than I have in 6 months of therapy!! I think this course is going to help much more than my home. Thanks Amy!!!!”
When I realized I had been overcomplicating the idea of organization, that simplifying was a key component, then things really started to fall into place!”

I am so glad to hear that Deborah! Merry Christmas to you! I hope you have a lovely holiday!
Just made this for moi! I will also test it on my girls who have extremely dry skin. A friend of mine has a birthday coming up and I will certainly do this for her too! It’s SOOO easy to make and looks good on the side of my bathtub :)
Thank you,thank you, thank you!
Yay! I hope you love it! It really is so easy to make and is a fun gift idea! You are welcome!
I am very interested in getting started with essential oils, however, my budget is extremely tight. I am taking a lot of measures to cut out unnecessary expenses, and trim down the necessary ones. For example, making my own cleaners, etc. What I need is a cheaper way to get started on essential oils. I am a single parent putting a child through college, so there really is not a lot of room in the budget.
You could try using vanilla extract instead. It’s super cheap at costco
Michelle- Great idea. Thank you for the suggestion.
Hi – I was wondering how many drops of essential oil do you put in the mix? (I might have overlooked it!)
LOVE LOVE LOVE your site! Thank you…
5-7 drops should work great. Thanks.
I saw this and had to try it. Wow, it was so amazing. Easy to make and a joy to bath in. If you haven’t tried it, you should.
Thanks Deb! Glad you enjoyed it so much!
How many grams of mixture does this recipe make???
Mary, not sure on the grams. Sorry.
Where did you get the jars?
Melissa- I found them at our local Hobby Lobby. Thanks.
I only had non fat dry milk, added geranium and lavender, making for my daughter, this would make an awesome gift! Very excited, hope it helps her extremely itchy, dry skin!!!!
Jennifer- So glad you are making this. I sure hope it helps as well!
Loved this recipe! Thank you for sharing!
Amber- Thank you for following along!
Can you use Steel Cut Oats as well? Thanks
Aprille- Yes, that should work just fine.
What kind of dried milk did you use?
Kayls- Any brand should work just great. Thanks.
Do have to use baking soda and the essential oils? And will Quaker old fashioned oatmeal work?
Shanna- Yes on all of those questions. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks.
Can you use any kind of dry milk?
Angela- Yes, any brand should work.
I absolutely love this recipe! I do have a question though, how much mixture should I add into the bath? Thank you in advance!
Ali- I use about a 1/2 cup. You can use more or less though.
Can we use this one every day ? If it safe for the baby?
Kanch- You can use it everyday. It should be safe for babies, but I would not use as much though. Thank you.
Do I have to keep this refrigerated?
Casey, you don’t need to keep this refrigerated. Thanks and enjoy.
My favorite bath recipe. It really helps with my poison ivy rash. My favorite scent with it is tea tree and lavender.
Lisa- I did not know that is helped with poison ivy. I also love those scents. Thanks for the information.
Hi there, what a lovely sounding recipe. My son and I have a big excema break out right now. I forgot all about the oatmeal baths I gave him as a baby! Thanks to you this amazing homemade recipe will impact our lives for the better!
Thanks,
Terra
Terra- I sure hope it helps with you sons execema!
Hi! I was wanting to give this to someone as a Christmas gift, and am super excited to see how it works. I was wondering where I could get the wooden scoop that was in the pictures?
Kristen- It was a jar that I had from something else. So I am not sure where it came from. Sorry.
What size mason jar is pictured here?
Bonnie- It is a quart size.
Can you substitute nonfat milk as opposed to whole fat?
Missy-I would think that would be fine!
I am wondering how safe it is to add essential oils into this, without using a carrier oil. All the other items on the ingredients list are water soluble, which means pure essential oils would be sitting on top of the water. Pure essential oils should not be in contact with skin… it can cause burns and other problems. I saw one instance where a child had the equivalent of 20 drops of essential oils in his bath (because other parents told the mother it was fine), and he had trouble breathing, migraines, and had to have an ambulance called.
From everything I have seen, no carrier oil when using essential oils is a big no-no.
Sarah- Thanks for your concern. We have never had an issue, but you could definitely use a carrier oil if you are more sensitive. I use the DoTerra Oils and here is what they recommend for dilution: https://www.doterra.com/US/en/essential-oil-safety-and-application-appropriate-dose-topical-dilution
If i didnt want to use dried milk, what would u suggest i use to substitute? Thanks!! :)
If you’d rather use a non-dairy product, powdered soy milk and powdered coconut milk would both make great alternatives! Great question!
That sounds so relaxing right now!! I bet it smells amazing! Can’t wait to make some!
Kristyn- It does smell amazing! Hope you make some!
I am excited to make some!! A nice relaxing bath with this, sounds wonderful!
Natalie- Hope you make some soon!
Hi, this looks amazing. Just a question please. Is the 5 to 7 drops of essential oil the amount you put into the bath water each time OR is it 5 to 7 drops of oil into the whole mix?
Robbie- The essential oils go into the mix. Enjoy!
I love this recipe!! I can not wait to try it! How much does this recipe make? Thank you for posting this!!
Miche- It make about 2 cups.
If I wanted to add epsom salt to your recipe, how much would you recommend?
Kristen- I would probably try adding only a 1/2 cup at first. I have not tried adding epsom salt though. You will have to let me know how it works.
In your recipe, it only lists oatmeal, a jar and essential oil. Did the recipe get truncated in reposting? You mention milk and baking soda in the directions.
KL- Just added those ingredients back in. Thank you.
I could use this right about now! Merry Christmas!
Natalie- Merry Christmas!
This totally helps my skin, during the winter. It makes it so smooth! It’s nice to use & a cinch to make!
Kristyn- Mine too!
Hello Amy!!
I am very interested by getting began with important oils, however, my budget is extraordinarily tight. What I need is a cheaper way to get commenced on critical oils. I am a unmarried discern setting a child via college, so there certainly isn’t always a whole lot of room in the finances. I am taking quite a few measures to reduce out needless fees, and trim down the important ones. For instance, making my very own cleaners, etc.
They can be quit pricey but in the long run I feel like they are healthier overall for you. Lemon, Peppermint and Melaleuca are some of the oils that I use the most and are interchangeable for different uses.
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing oatmeal milk bath idea! Will surely have this again! It’s really easy to make and it really helpful! Highly recommended!
Allyssa- Thank you.
I could use a soak in this right about now!! I love making some & always have some handy. My girls like to sneak it, too!
Kristyn- Me too!
I keep a jar of this in my bathroom. I love using it & it was simple to make. It would make a great gift!
Natalie- It really is so simple to make.
This is such a unique and fun idea! I love how it makes your skin soft, too.
Katie- Thank you.
I loved this tutorial on making an oatmeal milk bath! It seems like such a soothing treat for the skin. I can’t wait to try it out and maybe even create my own spa day at home! Thank you for sharing!
It really is the best!
