Clean.......or NOT!

We as mom's tend to be pretty thorough about keeping our homes clean.  It's the place our kids eat, play, sleep and live.  Most mom's I know try their hardest to keep a clean environment to ward off any unwanted side effects of a dirty environment! 

I know that my floors are one of my greatest areas of issue.  Our high traffic kitchen area has linoleum flooring and the entry ways have hard wood.  This creates a lot of indoor/outddor foot traffic.  The dog also contributes to this traffic.

My kids predominantly run around our home barefoot.  So I like to keep the floors as clean and "critter" free as possible.  I was astonished when I learned that my hard pressed desire to keep my kids healthy by mopping the floors constantly may have been doing more damage than good!

The chemicals we use to clean our homes are predominantly doing more damage to our families than good!  I was shocked!  Watch the video below done by Dr. Jim Bob Haggerton if you would like a really good explanation of what these chemicals can do in our bodies and how keeping our homes "clean" may be dirtying up our bodies and hormones pretty badly!

Dr Jim Bob talks Clean

I switched to using Thieves cleaner and have never looked back.  It is 100% plant based and infused with essential oils.  It smells amazing, cleans like nothing I have ever used before, and it is safe!  It is multi-purpose so I use one cleaner for floors, counters, table, appliances, mirrors, windows, bathrooms, etc --- ONE cleaner for EVERYTHING!

This is a class I taught online all about how awesome Thieves cleaner is and the best way to get it!

Sonya Jean

This is a song I wrote for my sister and few years ago.  Here is part of her story that I told in another post:   My sister's story Sonya Jean I wish I had one more day, I wish I had just one more day. If someone had told me that this was the way; I would have wished for just one more day. The good Lord giveth, and He taketh away, I wish I had just one more day. Such short time on Earth, you had to live; And in that time you had so much to give. A mother, sister and a daughter, A spirit filled with fun and laughter. As sickness came to take you away, I held tight to every day. I wish I had one more day, I wish I had just one more day. If someone had told me that this was the way; I would have wished for just one more day. The good Lord giveth, and He taketh away, I wish I had just one more day. So many things I should have said, Sitting there beside your bed. The most important we covered, The day you prayed and Jesus ...

Music

Music!  Just the thought makes me smile.  I come from a hugely talented family of musicians.  From the earliest of days I clearly remember music and instruments being a vital part of every family gathering.  Music just was!  It brought us together, it was fun, and it was what we did.  We always called it "pickin and grinnin". As I watch the last of that family generation fade into memories I am overwhelmed by the thought of the music "dying" with them.  There are very few of us in the younger generation that can play music like my dad's generation in our family.  It will be greatly missed when they are gone but the appreciation for music, family, love and good old times will always remain. I blame my dad for my deep love of all things music.  Although I truly cannot play music (or sing really), I love and appreciate so many kinds of music.  A song can transport me to so many places, it can speak to my sould, help me worship, tell ...

Why Young Living

Many people ask me why or how I began my journey with Young Living.  It definately was not by accident.  God had a plan and a purpose.  My husband had chronic severe migraines.  Sometimes he would have as many as twenty six or more debilitating migraines a month.  This is unbearable for anyone but especially unbearable for a self employed man who lives in a 1000 square foot home with his wife and five children.  Life was exhausting and hard. We went to many doctors throughout NY, MS, VT and CA looking for answers.  We tried all the migraine medicines, accupuncture, accupressure, chiropractic, nutrition, botox, special glasses, you name it!  Nothing worked.  We were at our wits end and had a medicine cabinet so full of drugs that my husband seemed like a zombie. I was fed up.  I knew that there had to be a better way but wasn't sure what that was.  Regardless, I knew that taking as many drugs as he was, my husband's body no lo...
