Spring 'Greening'

I make no secret about how much I love the cleaners we use in our home.  I discovered this amazing, concentrated cleaner one day when I took to the internet to search for a natural cleaner.  One that was safe around my kids, didn't require me to have the windows open for ventilation when using it, was safe for all the surfaces in our house, was budget friendly,

It was definitely a tall order.

Funny how we stumble upon things when we least expect it, right?!  See my purpose in sitting down at the computer that day was to look for a cleaner.  After a few minutes of searching for something I was sure I'd never find, I got a little side tracked by different blogs.  (Is that typical for you, too?)

One blog sucked me right in and it was so much fun looking at all the things this blogger was doing- finishing their basement, cute posts of her kids, and getting things ready for a big yard sale.  And then there was one sentence that caught my eye.  She was using a natural cleaner to clean up some furniture she was getting ready to sell.  A cleaner she had been using for years with a link in the post to buy my own.  Bingo!

That was about 3 years ago.  Did you know I still have my original bottle I ordered that day?

Would you like to know why I still have the original bottle?  Believe me, it's not for nostalgia sake.  It's because I'm still trying to get through the whole thing!  That's right - that lovely little arrow on the picture is pointing to the level of cleaner I still have in my original bottle purchased 3 years ago!

This is the only all-purpose cleaner I use in our home, too.  How many bottles of cleaner have you purchased in the past 3 years?  This one cleaner makes my glass cleaner, all purpose cleaner and degreaser just by simply mixing different amounts of the concentrated cleaner with plain water.  Super easy and very economical - two things we can all appreciate!  Not only is Basic H2 an all-natural, organic cleaner it's also naturally anti-microbial!

Even if you only purchase one window cleaner, one all-purpose cleaner and one degreaser in a year, you would still spend more than if you purchase one bottle of Basic H2 concentrate.

There's another reason switching our house hold cleaners has made such a difference in our family.  Did you know the cleaners you use can have a direct result on your families respiratory health?  Ever check the warning labels on your cleaners?  This is something that other families have seen a huge difference in after switching their cleaners.

For our family, we saw a quick difference with allergies in all the kids and chronic coughs in our two youngest.  Once we switched, I no longer had teachers contacting me about the little ones having trouble staying on task and keeping with the class because they were coughing all through school.  No more having to go to the pediatrician {at 20 bucks a pop} to be told to try another type of allergy medicine that just didn't work.  No more dealing with chronic sinus infections for our oldest and youngest daughters and having to get prescription after prescription to help relieve the hurt that goes along with all of that.

So, are you curious to learn more?  My team would love to have you join us April 22nd at our Facebook event in honor of Earth Day.

Here we will be sharing the background of the Shaklee cleaning products, uses, some great before and afters, and so much more!  These cleaners are so versatile you will never need to bring a harsh, chemical cleaner into your home again!

This is an absolute, no-obligation event!  However, it's a great way to get your questions asked and find out more about what so many of us have discovered in these natural, non-toxic cleaners that work to keep our homes clean without being a harm to our families or the environment.

Can't wait to see you there!!

Keep loving Life!

Real Clean Gone Green! - A New Facebook Group

This is definitely the time of year we all start to look around our homes and get the itch to clean, organize, redo, and do a major overhaul in our lives.  It's like a non-pregnancy induced nesting gone wild!! Does this describe you?

If you're anything like me, this might describe your mindset, but not necessarily your actions.  

Are you overwhelmed by how much there is to do?  Do you have that long cleaning list, but just don't know where to start?  Do you dread hauling out all the different, smelly cleaners?  Do you start and by week 3 - oh, who are we kidding?- DAY 3, you're burned out?  Yet, half of your house is torn apart and looks worse than when you started?  Are you interested in finding a better way?

This is a project I've been carrying around in my head and heart for the past couple of years.  I knew if I struggled with getting the full Spring Clean, or just a full CLEAN, that there were others out there who needed help, as well.  I also knew that, while I've learned a lot that can be shared, others also have tips, inspirations, and lessons learned that they can share!

With all of that in mind, this year I decided to put my ideas and knowledge into action!! It took a little longer than anticipated, but the group Real Clean Gone Green! (a closed group) is now live on Facebook and I couldn't be happier or more excited!!

I've teamed up with one of my best friends and fellow blogger, Sarah, from Happy Heart Healthy Home, to sponsor this amazing initiative!  We want to help other's conquer the tasks that so many of us struggle with - to be able to find happiness in our living spaces each and every day.

Now, don't think this is going to be easy!  We're going to break the process down; but, it's still going to be a lot of work for each of us.  That's one of the great things about this group, though!  Amid all the work, there's going to be some fun challenges, amazing freebies, lots of recognition, great tips and tricks, multiple prizes, shared inspiration, and just a whole lot of good times and laughter!  

Are you interested in joining?  We would love to have you on this journey with us!  To find out more, simply click the image below.  I can't wait to welcome you to our group!  Hurry, though, the start date is April 22nd!  You definitely don't want to miss out on anything!
