Norwex

On a side note I have joined the Norwex team. I have just finished my first month.  I never thought this is an adventure I would sign up for, but I am enjoying learning about the cloths and other products and then sharing that information with others.  Norwex offers a variety of great products for your home.  Cleaning without chemicals is a new trend in our home and I am enjoying it.  Most of my home can be cleaned with just 2 cloths and water.  The enviro cloth and the window cloth.  It simplifies my cleaning routine saving me time and money.  My littles can join me and I don't have to worry about chemicals in my cleaning products.  

 A few quick facts about the enviro cleaning cloth:
*removes 99.9% of the bacteria from your surfaces
*silver, which is an antibacterial agent, is embedded in the microfiber and destroys the bacteria after a few hours, silver is a natural anti microbial,
*the fiber is 1/100 the size of a human hair (standard microfiber is 1/6 of a human hair)
*the enviro cloth contains 2.9 million meters of threading, most microfiber on the market contains 5,000 meters
*uses a patented triangular weave which traps the dirt and bacteria in the cloth
*2 year warranty
*please do not us bleach, fabric softener, or dryer sheets with the microfiber cloths

Where to use:
*any smooth surface in the kitchen, bathroom, walls, windows(streak free), etc.
*use only with water
*removes soap scum, stains on carpeting and upholstery, and cleans, wood, leather, walls, windows, screens, and phones
*removes more bacteria than bleach

If you have an interest in cleaning your home without chemicals or just a question please feel free to contact me.

One Thousand Gifts

I just started reading this book a few days ago...

I have laughed.  Tears have streamed from my eyes.  The words have spoken to me.  My eyes are open.  My heart is yearning.  Thanksgiving...  Joy...  Grace...

I have begun my list of  One Thousand Gifts

Won't you?

18 months...

Our little man turned 18 months yesterday.  We were visiting family out of town so I am  day late, but here he is.  What a blessing!

So little preparation
so many
unrealistic expectations
so often
dreams are dashed
unwanted fears
realized.
Too few
understand where they are
too few
know where they're going
too many
feel alone and lost.
Yet the One who knows
and who understands
has joined the journey.
He holds a light
in His hands
and He is One
who can be trusted.
