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!

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 ...

Momcation

As a mom, I feel like my number one job is always to take care of everyone else.  I rarely, if ever, have someone babysit my kiddos and I really never go anywhere without them.  They are MY gifts from God and therefore they are MY responsibility.  This has always been my thought process for 15 years of marriage.  When I would hear mom's talk about monthly date nights or mom's night out or a vacation without the kids I would gasp!  Yup--totally was judgemental.  Truth--as women, we most often are!  But then something changed.  I would laughingly say it was Young Living, but it was a strange by-product of joining Young Living that I never expected.......FRIENDS! I met some of the most wonderful women ever.  I also started to learn more and more about self care and how advantageous it is to my entire family when I take care of me sometimes, even if for a short time. Last year I took my first ever vacation without my family!  I was a w...

Camping

We are preparing for our first ever (really) camping trip.  Now, you would need to know me to know that this is a STRETCH for me!  No, I am lying.....its not a stretch it is a full blown miraculous thing.  BUT, remember, I am working on Fun and Family this year and someone convinced me that camping would accomplish both.  I, however, am quite certain that camping with strengthen my Faith more than anything.  Two adults, five kiddos, one dog all in one camper....YUP--this will make or break my Faith! I am NOT a big fan of camping.  When someone puts vacation plus camping in the same sentence it sounds like an oximoron to me.  We did go camping TWICE in the last sixteen years of marriage.  The first time was in a tent big enough to barely fit the air mattress......not good!  That was before we had kiddos.  Then we went again with three kiddos in a "three room" tent.  Um, NO....those are definately not three rooms.  It's like on...
