Dealing with the stress of moving
This summer I moved. I sold my large homestead where I had lived for 38 years. After my husband died three years ago, I became aware that I no longer could maintain the large property all on my own. On short notice an opportunity for me to move into a much smaller apartment in a senior community became available. I had to prepare to sell my home and downsize in a major way.
 
It was a gigantic task and I am so grateful for help I received from friends, family and neighbors. But the reality is there was a. lot of stress associated with the move. Many long hours of hard work that my body was not used to doing.
 
Here are some ways I found to cope with the aches and pains and stresses of moving:
 
Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream: Applied at bedtime in the areas of my body that had been pushed to the limit during the day.
 
CBD Joint and Muscle Rub: Layered over those joints and muscles that were screaming the loudest for some TLC.
 
Peace & Calming Essential oil: Diffused in the bedroom to help me relax and fall asleep faster, plus a few drops applied to the bottoms of my feet and temples for a little extra calming as needed.
 
Stress Away Roll-on: applied topically during the stressful moments during the day as needed.
 
Sleep Essence Capsules: Take according to directions on the bottle on those occasions when I needed to soothe my mind from the worries of the day and get a better rest.
 
What are the tools in your toolbox for handling extra stress when those occasions occur?

Meet Reisa Abercrombie

 
As a wife and mom of three, I’ve always been drawn 
to finding meaningful connections between health, 
wellness, and the joys of everyday life. Over the years,
I’ve discovered how deeply intertwined our mind,
body, and soul are and how intentional choices can 
create a lasting impact on our families and communities.

I grew up in northern Minnesota as the oldest of four 
children, developing a love for creativity and connection that led me to the Twin Cities. There, I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design from Northwestern 
College in St. Paul and worked in the design field before transitioning to my most cherished role—raising my 
family.

My husband, Andrew, and I have been married for nearly 13 years. Together, with our three children (ages 11, 6, and 5), we embraced a dream of rural living by moving back to northern Minnesota in 2022. Just outside of Grand Rapids, we’ve created a home filled with a large garden, a flock of chickens, and plenty of acreage for our kids to explore and grow.

Our faith and connection to our local church community play an integral role in our lives. When we’re not gardening, bow hunting, or enjoying a campfire, you’ll find us in our workshop. There, we pour our hearts into creating handcrafted wooden products—from unique cribbage and charcuterie boards to earrings and essential oil holders. Each piece reflects our passion for craftsmanship and the beauty of natural living.

Life is an ongoing journey of growth and learning, and I’m honored to share this path with you. Whether it’s through handcrafted goods or a shared passion for intentional living, I’m here to connect, learn, and grow together with you.

Thank you for your grace, support, and for allowing us to be part of your journey. Let’s build something beautiful—together.
