Helping Moms Raise Kids With Special Needs
As you know, all the products that we use in this house are as nontoxic as possible. I also often get samples from the various conferences and expos I go to that feature clean living products. So it was with shock that I learned that what I thought was the best natural deodorant contained aluminum! I thought it was a safe option and didn’t see
I believe that one of the most important things you can do to keep your family safe is to detox your kitchen. Getting rid of foods that contain different contaminants and hard to discover allergens is important, but a big area of major concern is your cookware. This is because oven and stovetop heat often can activate more dangerous chemicals in your cookware and put
As I mentioned to you, I’m back in the gym. About 3 years ago, I joined a cheapie gym and while there was nothing wrong with it, it offered me little to no accountability. My husband and were accountability partners and we went from 4-5 days in our first year down to once a week to 1 to zero. We eventually just stopped going. This

Check out some of these stats: According to the American Cancer Society, men have a 1 in 2 chance of developing some form of invasive cancer. Women have a 1 in 3 chance. Not only that,

Does your family need sinus allergy relief? While for most people, allergy season firmly sets in during the spring, for me, late summer and fall into winter are awful allergy seasons. The worst attacks I’ve ever had, in fact, happened on Thanksgiving holidays, one on a trip to Vermont and another on a trip to Delaware but I suffer at home too. I was excited to receive a
