What does that mean to you? To me it means getting as many toxic chemicals out of my life as possible. I am still pretty new to this whole clean living idea. For me it started 3 years ago at a MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) meeting. We had a speaker come in to talk about essential oils. I wanted nothing to do with the topic, but as I sat there and listened something started to click for me. You see at the time my son was about 9 months old, had already had his first surgery and was about 3 months away from his second. He was born with a cleft lip and cleft palate. It was not a hereditary birth defect, neither my husband nor I have anyone anywhere in our families that had cleft lip or palate. So the doctors said it was an environmental defect, meaning I was exposed to something during the first 8 - 10 weeks of my pregnancy. That scared me, but I also didn't really know what that meant or what to do about it.
As I sat there listening to Stacey talk about what made her start using essential oils and all the scary chemicals in our household and personal care products and food! I wanted to do better for my family. I realized that if I could do better for my kids from an early age, maybe they wouldn't have the health issues I have, or be so overly obese as I am, maybe just have an overall healthier life -- and healthy kids themselves one day.
So welcome to my first blog of the new year. I am hoping to write at least one post every week about a topic I've become passionate about... Young Living, Clean Eating, Exercise, Preventable disease and Humane treatment of farm animals and more.
