<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I4igY5ldi8k/U2FM8qoh4wI/AAAAAAAAH5o/nIgzioB__Qo/s1600/prevention_maintenance.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I4igY5ldi8k/U2FM8qoh4wI/AAAAAAAAH5o/nIgzioB__Qo/s1600/prevention_maintenance.jpg" height="291" title="shaklee, healthy happy life" width="400" /></a></div>
<center>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Would you rather spend your money on sick prevention or sick maintenance? </span></span><div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Are you feeling tired, under the weather, constant allergies or headaches? What are you doing to eliminate them? Sick maintenance? Meaning go to the doctor, fork out your co-pay, possibly get a prescription, maybe buy some OTC meds, experience the side effects, dealing with insurance deductibles, the list can go on and on!</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What if...just what if...you started spending your time and energy on sick PREVENTION instead of maintenance? How do you think your health would be affected? How do you think your pocketbook would be affected?</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you're constantly sick or feeling bad, now may be the time to do a check on what's affecting you. Lack of sleep? Poor eating habits? Allergies? Is your gut unhealthy? And now think about how much you're spending each month to try to get healthy again, only to get sick AGAIN a few weeks later! Ugh! </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Trust me, we've been there. We were there for a long time.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We finally got sick of sick and decided to get healthier!</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now that we're using natural supplements and cleaning products, our allergies are BETTER, our gut health is WAY BETTER, this mama has TONS MORE ENERGY, my sweet husband has been sinus infection FREE, our son has been stomach virus FREE, and we're not spending money on sick maintenance. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We're spending that money on sick PREVENTION. And we've reaped the rewards of changing our lifestyle by doing so!</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now, I'm not a doctor, I will NEVER prescribe something to you. I will ALWAYS tell you to ask the opinion of your own doctor first.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">However, I'm happy to share with you what safe, natural remedies work for our family! After lots of research, our family chose to use <a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.myshaklee.com/us/en/whyshaklee.html">Shaklee's products</a> for a number of reasons, the top two I'll list. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1) Their products are based on science, not fads. Shaklee's products go through rigorous quality testing before being put on the shelves. Check out <a href="http://www.clinicals.shaklee.com/">Clinical Research</a> and the <a href="http://www.landmarkstudy.com/">Landmark Study</a> for more information! </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2) Integrity. I don't know about you, but integrity is huge when it comes to choosing a company that's all about health and wellness. Shaklee is built on integrity and taking care of people; in fact, you won't find a recall from our products anywhere. They want their products to be SAFE!</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There is no such thing as a miracle pill, miracle oil, miracle drink, get better in 3 days while you lose 30lbs in the process. Sorry folks, it just doesn't work that way. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Building better health takes time and commitment; not a whole lot of time, but you've got to be invested in yourself and your family for their future health! And it's not that hard!</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've rediscovered my passion for HELPING OTHERS get healthier, happier and reap the rewards of this lifestyle. I want to help you too!</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">

Hello!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Today I wanted to share with you our family's favorite toddler books. We love to read in our home; the boys get stories before bed every night, and any time they bring a book to us during the day, Matt and I are happy to read to them! We want to instill good reading habits in them and encourage their imaginations through reading!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I believe most of us are committed to good health and have daily activities and routines we follow to help support our health. We exercise, take natural supplements, drink a high-protein smoothie, drink water, wear sunscreen...the list goes on! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">All these small steps taken day in and day out lead to a stronger and healthier YOU!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While all of those things are an excellent way to be healthy, I want to be sure you aren’t missing an important part of the health puzzle by being <a href="http://www.epa.gov/heasd/chemicalsafety.html" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">exposed to chemicals in your environment</a>.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The <a href="http://www.epa.gov/oppt/existingchemicals/pubs/tscainventory/basic.html" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)</a> tracks more than 84,000 chemicals used in commerce. These chemicals, have worked their way into our everyday lives. Now, no matter how clean you try to live, it is impossible to escape exposure from these chemicals that may put an amazingly heavy burden on our liver and other detoxification pathways in our bodies. Chemicals are found in the food we eat, clothes we wear, personal care products we use, and even the very products that we use to keep our homes clean and safe.</span></div>

So when this started showing up in my Facebook feed yesterday with people all up in arms, I had to read the article. At first I was like, "What the what?? Are you CRAZY??" Then, I clicked a few links and found out the truth of said article...it was a brilliant April Fool's joke thanks to Honest Toddler! I love it! <i>(And it goes to show that you've GOT to do research when you read stuff on the interwebs...just because it's there doesn't make it true!)</i> Big props to you Honest Toddler for fooling so many people!</center>

<a href="http://www.mariakang.com/2013/05/09/mommy-fitness-15-ab-exercises/" target="_blank">15 Ab Exercises</a> by Maria Kang, made famous via social media for her 'controversial' post about "What's your excuse" regarding making time for exercise. Well, I happen to think she's on point...love her and I love how she tells everyone straight up that she's not perfect, she has stretch marks, she misses workouts, she doesn't eat clean 24/7. Anyhow... this is a great list of ab exercises and I've been doing them for a few weeks. So yes, I'm reading about ab workouts! :)</center>

How much do you think you spend on laundry detergent every month? $15? $20? Maybe more? I was as well, up until about two years ago. I used to use all the name brand detergents...tide, gain, you name it. I was paying for expensive laundry detergent that didn't work very well and it seemed like our clothes were wearing out faster. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_DlUvBdJQ-s/Uzgl5bnGHWI/AAAAAAAAHzY/BjH0HdiRJzs/s1600/getcleanlaundry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_DlUvBdJQ-s/Uzgl5bnGHWI/AAAAAAAAHzY/BjH0HdiRJzs/s1600/getcleanlaundry.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a>
So I finally got tired of it and switched to a <a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=00160" target="_blank">natural laundry detergent</a>. I love this one. Love it! For just about a million reasons, but I'll only list a few!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>It's $40.25 (member price) for a 14lb box and has lasted me NINE MONTHS</li>
<li>We're averaging about $5 per month for laundry detergent</li>
<li>I do a LOT of laundry</li>
<li>This detergent average about $.14 per load</li>
<li>Our clothes are cleaner, with no soap residue, and they seem to be lasting longer</li>
<li>It's really good for the environment with no phosphates or chlorine. It's also biodegradable, concentrated, and hypoallergenic</li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Today I wanted to share with you the simple solution my family uses to clean all the windows and glass in our home.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yep, you guessed it…it’s a product by Shaklee <i>(my favorite health and wellness company ever!)</i>.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 23.998001098632813px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We use <a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=00015" target="_blank">Shaklee’s Basic H</a> solution as our window cleaner! Did you even know it can be used to clean windows??</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s simple…just take 16 oz of water and add just two drops of Basic H and give it a shake. There you have it! A full bottle of safe, nontoxic window cleaner!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is how I’m kicking off our spring cleaning for 2014, by getting all the windows and mirrors clean and dirt-free. We have a ton of windows so it’s going to take me a full day (on top of all my other domestic duties!)</span></div>

Today I wanted to give you a glimpse into our home!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
We moved into our home (our first!) 7 1/2 years ago. We'd only planned on staying here five years, but well...life doesn't always go as planned, right? It's all good though, because we love our home and our neighborhood!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Our home was built in 1986 and it had pretty much the original EVERYTHING when we moved in! So we've been slowly, but surely, updating it over the years.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Today, I'm going to show you our deck remodel. We actually remodeled it last year and we love it so, so much! It's much bigger than the old one and is so much more functional! We hired a contractor to lay the frame and build the benches and steps. Then Matt finished laying the flooring of the deck. Doing it this way saved us quite a bit of money!</center>

We just love spending time out on the deck. We added a nice table and chairs so we can eat dinner outside. We're fortunate that there are a lot of nice weather days where we live, so we get a lot of use out of the deck! This is just one of the many, many DIY projects we've taken on since moving in! Do you DIY when it comes to home improvement?<br />

Woo hoo! It's FINALLY spring!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Did winter seem to DRAG on for you, too?</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Thankfully, we're kicking off the first day of spring with temps in the 70's today! I love it!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Starting Monday, I'm going to be embarking on a Get Clean for Spring series that will hopefully help you (and me!) get your homes cleaned and organized! I can't wait!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
But first, we all need our arsenal of safe, nontoxic cleaning products, right?</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I get asked all the time what I clean my house with to keep it both clean and toxin-free! Well this is it, and to celebrate spring, I'm having a special!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Box up all those chemical cleaners and replace ALL of your household cleaners, including laundry and dish soaps, with these green, non-toxic cleaners that are cost effective and really work!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

Happy Wednesday to you!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Here are a few blog posts I'm loving this week! I hope you like them as well! And I'd love for you to share your favorites...I'm always on the hunt for new reading material!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
My friend and colleague, Amber, shared her wonderful story about how she and her husband were able to get their daughter off prescription allergy and asthma medications! Their journey is awesome and not only is their daughter so much healthier, but they saved over $100 per month just by switching to natural supplements! Annnnddd... she is being flown out to New York this week by Shaklee to share her story! I LOVE testimonials like this!

I've been reading Ashley's blog since 2009! Wow! She recently posted a fun tutorial for personalized burlap bags. I think these would be super cute teacher gifts this spring!

<center style="text-align: left;">
My friend, Jenny, shared how to clean your stainless steel water bottles using lemon essential oils. This was timely for me...since you're not supposed to put the water bottles in the dishwasher, I've always wondered how clean I'm actually getting them! Read about how to do it here: <a href="http://www.conscientiousconfusion.com/2014/03/sanitizing-reusable-water-bottle-using-lemon-essential-oil.html" target="_blank">Sanitizing Your Reusable Water Bottle</a></center>

Happy Friday! It's been a LONG time since I've done a Friday Favorites post! I've had some big time writers block lately, but really want to get back in the swing of things. I thought a Friday Favorites would be a great way to kick off the first Friday of the month!</center>

2. <a href="http://thelemonbowl.com/2014/01/almond-joy-granola.html" target="_blank">Almond Joy Granola</a> from The Lemon Bowl blog. This is has become a staple in our home...I love it! I eat it with plain Greek yogurt for breakfast, or a snack, or dinner...</center>

3. Homemade chocolate banana 'ice cream.' Easy peasy and really tasty! Take a few frozen bananas, a dash of vanilla, and a scoop of <a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=21246" target="_blank">chocolate protein powder</a>, then turn on the food processor until it has the consistency of soft serve ice cream.

4. Green smoothies. Matt and I are becoming totally addicted to these yummy smoothies! We make one for breakfast almost every morning. The one in the picture had spinach, strawberries, mango, blueberries, Greek yogurt, <a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=20661" target="_blank">unflavored protein powder</a> <i>(you can put this in SO MANY recipes)</i>, and chia seeds.

New hair! It had been awhile since I'd had my hair highlighted, and I wanted to do something a little different. The ombre look is in now, but my stylist and I decided that having a very dark (almost brown) up against my face would just depress me...I'm used to lighter blonde, especially now that the weather is <strike>supposed</strike> to be warming up! So she did an awesome dark brown, light blonde highlight panel-style all over. I love it! Don't you just love having your hair cut, colored, and styled??</center>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you know me in person, you know that I just rave about Shaklee's Get Clean line. We love it! It has completely replaced all of our toxic, caustic, harmful cleaners. No fumes, no worries about calling Poison Control...it's a fantastic cleaning line!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I wanted to give you some details about our <a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=HomeCare&sub_cat=GetCleanStarterKit" target="_blank">Get Clean Kits</a>. I've had some excellent questions about them and a few people say they probably wouldn't use everything in the kits. I get it; trust me I get it.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you're like me, the word 'kit' can be a turn off. I don't know how many times I've purchased a kit because of the supposed value and was pretty disappointed that there were a few products in said kit that I really had no use for. Money down the drain, right?</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The <a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=HomeCare&sub_cat=GetCleanStarterKit" target="_blank">Shaklee Get Clean</a> kits are definitely something you will be using. Every last product. Every last drop.</span></center>

Recently, I had someone comment on a photo I posted about how my home is so clean and tidy. She wanted to know how a work at home mom with two young boys kept her house so clean. Read on to see my post about it on Facebook.</center>

Many bloggers seem to prefer to only show photos of their homes when their clean and organized and I think that's fantastic. But I don't want anyone to assume my entire home is always clean and well organized just from viewing a tiny photo of my counter. Trust me, it's not!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I want to keep it real for ya'll, so from here on out, you might see more pictures of my real life home...not as many of my 'quickly sweep everything off the counters and angle the camera so that it doesn't get the view of the trashed out playroom' type of photos!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
So tell me, do you like seeing the 'keeping it real' photos?</center>

<div style="text-align: start;">
Oh, hi there!</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
It's been like a month since I've blogged...wow! </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
I wanted to share with you a sermon from one of my friends, Amanda. This is a sermon she spoke at her church a few weeks back about learning to <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">be free</span></b> from body image issues and <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">learning to love</span></b> who God made us to be. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
I've known Amanda for a little over two years. We met at MOPS back in the day where she was the discussion group leader of our table. She is the type of person you want to be around...she's kind, generous, hilarious, never, ever hesitates to speak truth into people's lives...she's the real deal!</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
When Amanda and I saw each other regularly, she was really into clean eating and working out...I totally admired her dedication and determination. I didn't realize, however, that it ended up being really unhealthy for her in her thought life, spiritual life, family life, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
This sermon is how Amanda <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">broke free from the power of food and body image</span></b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
If you're a woman, then it's most likely you have struggled with poor body image at some point in your life.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
I always have. I still struggle with it, sometimes on a daily basis. Sometimes to the point where I get obsessive about it. I keep a lot of it inside, but it's not healthy for me, it's not healthy for my family. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
It's funny how things work out...I'd actually been feeling myself getting back into the negative talk, the negative self image, when her sermon was posted online. I watched it last night; it was the right time for me! And I just knew I had to share it with my own community! This isn't just for women and girls...this is for the guys too. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Watch Amanda's fantastic sermon about overcoming self image issues and learning to love yourself the way God loves you!</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
THANK YOU, Amanda for your powerful words! </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">Yep, that's me! I used to be that girl who wouldn't buy beauty products unless they were high dollar. I spent many years searching for those perfect cleansers and moisturizers to do their thing. </span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">I switched to <a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=Beauty" target="_blank">Enfus</a></span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; line-height: 18px;"><a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=Beauty" target="_blank">elle</a> from Shaklee last year and I'm not turning back! I have been so very pleased with the results just from my daily skin care regimen. I'm not even talking about the rest of the <a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=Beauty" target="_blank">Enfuselle line</a> with the awesome Skin Firming Serum, the Calming Complex or the Eye Treatment!</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; line-height: 18px;">An important note about the Enfuselle line: <i>there are no soaps, dyes, or parabens, and no overpowering fragrances! </i></span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></center>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; line-height: 18px;">I use the <a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=32554" target="_blank">Purifying Cleansing Gel</a> in the mornings and before bed. In the mornings, I use the <a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=89289" target="_blank">Time Repair with SPF 15</a>. I'm a stickler for keeping my skin covered with a safe SPF. And in the evenings, I use the <a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=32544" target="_blank">Hydrating Moisture</a> cream. </span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">This skin care line goes a long way. I only need a little bit of each one to cleanse and moisturize my skin. This is great for my pocketbook...I don't have to buy it every month!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">I cannot say enough about Enfuselle! Have you tried it yet?</span></center>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, it's the beginning of February. Oh-em-gee! Good grief, the older I get the faster the days go by! It's going to be Christmas again before we know it!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyway, I'm doing a check in to see how my 2014 To Do List is coming along. This is one way to keep myself accountable, right? Just put it out there for all the world to see! :)</span></center>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here we go!</span></center>

<ol style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.899999618530273px;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="color: #2a221a;"><span style="color: #351c75;">Print photo books of each boy's first year.</span></b><span style="color: #2a221a;"> </span><span style="color: red;">STARTED! Woot-woot! After I began Kyle's (he's FIVE) I became totally overwhelmed. I had 20 pages of his first MONTH. At that rate, it would take me 5 years and $5k just to make baby books for both boys. I quickly narrowed the pics down the most important. So I've ordered Kyle's first 6 months and am working on Beck's first 6 months. </span></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Finally finish our laundry room once and for all</b>.</span><span style="color: #2a221a;"> </span><span style="color: red;">Haven't touched it yet.</span></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="color: #2a221a;"><span style="color: #351c75;">Clean out, organize, sell or throw away the items in our garage apartment.</span></b><span style="color: #2a221a;"> </span><span style="color: red;">STARTED! Pat on the back please! I've sold quite a bit of old baby items... in fact, I made about $100 last week just selling items off our local Facebook Buy/Sell pages! Getting rid of two giant strollers that take up tons of room was a big relief!</span></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="color: #2a221a;"><span style="color: #351c75;">Meal planning.</span></b><span style="color: #2a221a;"> </span><span style="color: red;">Ugh. Fail.</span></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="color: #2a221a;"><span style="color: #351c75;">Plant some colorful plants/flowers in our front beds.</span></b><span style="color: #2a221a;"> </span><span style="color: red;">Nothing yet. The weather has been so hot/cold this winter that I've held off until we're really done with freezes. </span></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="color: #2a221a;"><span style="color: #351c75;">Take a cooking class.</span></b><span style="color: #2a221a;"> </span><span style="color: red;">Not yet</span><span style="color: #2a221a;">. </span></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="color: #2a221a;"><span style="color: #351c75;">Get going on the potty training with our youngest.</span></b><span style="color: #2a221a;"> </span><span style="color: red;">Hahaha! This one is a doozy. He is does NOT want to stop wearing diapers. I've tried bribing with his favorite candy, I bought him super hero underwear, I've begged, I've pleaded. Nope. Not gonna do it right now. </span></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="color: #2a221a;"><span style="color: #351c75;">Expand my health and wellness business.</span></b><span style="color: #2a221a;"> </span><span style="color: red;">I'm so excited about this one! Several new families have committed to join our Mission and they are loving it! I so love helping others get their lives healthier!</span></span></li>
</ol>
<span style="color: #2a221a;"><span style="line-height: 18.899999618530273px;">I'm pretty proud of myself (and my husband, too)! We're starting off our 2014 pretty well!</span></span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I don't know about where you live, but here in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area, the flu has been running rampant. It is so contagious! </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 19.5px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And why is it that science is still no closer to a cure for colds and flu? Because we're dealing with smart viruses. Any one of hundreds of viruses could launch a cold or flu attack, and chances are that this year's flu virus won't be the same as last year's making it nearly impossible to develop a simple cure. </span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While we can't avoid all germs; I do have two kids in preschool so germs are inevitable, we can do some simple things to help our bodies build up their immune systems and lessen our chances of getting sick!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></center>

Our Best Prevention Strategies:</h3>
<strong style="border: 0px; color: #39b7e2; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Take Good Care of Yourself: </strong><span style="font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em;">As always, the best place to start to maintain a good immune system is with the basics. Make sure to keep exercising, sleep well, reduce stress, drink alcohol in moderation, and eat a low-fat, low-sugar diet.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><br /></span><strong style="border: 0px; color: #39b7e2; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Wash Your Hands:</strong><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em;">Washing hands remains the most effective way to protect yourself and your family from colds and flu. Lather, rinse, repeat throughout the day. Do it long enough to sing "Happy Birthday" twice.</span></center>

<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em;">Oranges, strawberries, bell peppers, potatoes and other vitamin C and E rich fruits and vegetables are all good for your immune system.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em;">I do not like mushrooms, but have read that Shiitake, Maitake, and other mushrooms have been used for boosting the immune system. </span></li>

If you've read my blog for any length of time, you'll know that I'm passionate about keeping my family healthy by creating a clean, non-toxic, safe environment! My husband and I truly believe that our home should be the safest place on the planet, but in many cases, it's not. That's why we love Shaklee so much! We can provide our family with that (without a lot of money!) and have peace of mind knowing that all of the products in our home are safe!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">What is a Shaklee Membership?</span></center>
</h4>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Think of it as a wholesale club membership. Many of us pay $50-$100 per year for a membership to Sam's or Costco so we can get that wholesale pricing. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
With Shaklee's membership, you pay a ONE TIME fee of $19.95! That fee gets you 15% or more off all our products!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
After you join, you receive a MyShaklee secure website for ordering products, and it also includes a library of super helpful information and referral benefits!</center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
It depends on what you're looking for, but I usually recommend a starter kit because it has everything you need and gets you the biggest bang for your buck!</center>

A little about me that you might not know!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>I'm the oldest of two kids.</li>
<li>I grew up in Oklahoma but moved to Dallas, TX as soon as I graduated college.</li>
<li>I majored in Early Childhood Education but have never taught in a classroom.</li>
<li>I met my husband online via a dating site. I know, I know. We both lucked out!</li>
<li>We married in Austin, TX in 2005 (my favorite city in Texas!)</li>
<li>We waited 8 months before we took a honeymoon and I highly recommend this to newlyweds! </li>
<li>We went to St. Lucia for our honeymoon and it was amazing!</li>
<li>We bought our first (and so far only) home in 2006 and immediately started doing DIY home improvements. Does anyone know how long those DIY projects take??</li>
<li>I lost my job in 2008, when I was 4 months pregnant.</li>
<li>Because of this, I was sort of forced into being a stay at home mom.</li>
<li>Which wasn't my immediate plan, so it took awhile for me to get over the guilt of losing my job and get used to my new 'job'!</li>
<li>Our first son was born in November 2008 and is just a blessing. </li>
<li>By 2008, we'd installed a kitchenette in our garage apartment, ripped up all the carpet in the house and stained the concrete foundation, added an outside staircase to the garage apartment, remodeled our laundry room, had the exterior of the house painted, had a new roof put on, and started working on installing a sprinkler system. Whew!</li>
<li>In December '08, hubs was laid off his job and was jobless for about 6 weeks. Newborn and neither parent with a job? Talk about stressful!</li>
<li>By January of 2009, hubs found a new job within the same company.</li>
<li>December 2010 we found out we were pregnant with our second child!</li>
<li>After noticing I was becoming increasingly sensitive to regular household cleaners, I started a quest to find more natural ways to clean, so I started making my own cleaners.</li>
<li>Our second blessing was born on our 6th wedding anniversary in August 2011 during one of the hottest Texas summers on record. We're talking about 115 degree temps!</li>
<li>While being a mom to two kids, I found that making my own home cleaners was takign up too much time (and I can't stand the smell of vinegar!), so I did more research and rediscovered Shaklee! I immediately ordered my first <a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=HomeCare&sub_cat=GetCleanStarterKit" target="_blank">Get Clean kit</a> and was thrilled with the ease and effectiveness of the products.</li>
<li>After a lot of research, reading, PRAYING, and discussion, my husband encouraged me to share what I love and create my<a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.myshaklee.com/us/en/about.html" target="_blank"> own business by partnering with Shaklee</a>.</li>
<li>On the night of our son's 1st birthday and our 7th wedding anniversary, lightening hit our fence and air conditioner and caught them on fire. Praise God a neighbor happened to be leaving his home for the evening and saw our fence burning!</li>
<li>We were without an A/C for two weeks.</li>
<li>So we lived in hotel for two weeks.</li>
<li>Lord help me if I ever have to do that again!</li>
<li>In 2012 I helped eight families get healthier, happier lives simply by sharing my personal testimonies and helping them get the products they personally need to be healthier and toxin free!</li>
<li>We did lots of short trips to OK and LA where our families live.</li>
<li>We took our first family of four 'camping' trip to Caddo Lake in June 2013.</li>
<li>My husband got laid off again in September 2013.</li>
<li>Praise God he was able to find another job with a fantastic startup and they're doing super cool things!</li>
<li>I made big goals for my health and wellness business for 2013 and was able to meet them! I helped 15 families get healthier! Woot!</li>
<li>Hubs and I went to Las Vegas for a week without the kids. Well, he was there for work and I just tagged along, but a vacay is a vacay, right?</li>
<li>We had a super early (for Texas) ice storm in December that pretty much left us stranded at home for four days straight. Not fun!</li>
<li>We had an interesting Christmas at our house with almost everyone getting the stomach virus. Except who didn't get it? Our boys, who I'm totally diligent about making sure they're taking their <a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.blogspot.com/2013/08/keeping-kids-healthy-back-to-school-tips.html" target="_blank">natural supplements every day</a>! We lived and learned on that experience...now all the adults are regimented on natural supplements, too!</li>
<li>Matt and I rung in 2014 by painting our master bathroom at midnight!</li>
<li>I have big, BIG goals for 2014 with my business...I want to help at least 30 families get healthier, happier, and possibly financially fit this year!</li>
</ul>
And that, my friends, is a little about me! :)<ul>

My boys love to make cookies with me. Actually, they love to just eat the cookie dough! Who doesn't, right??</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
While I love to eat scoops of cookie dough, I know that it's really loaded with...well nothing healthy! And quite frankly, I get a stomachache if I eat too much! </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
So here's a super easy, quick, healthier version of cookie dough bites that's loaded with protein and other natural ingredients.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I whipped them up after quiet time yesterday since the boys wanted a snack. Ya'll it took me less than five minutes to mix it all together and scoop the dough out on to a plate! I like mine cold, so I put them in the fridge for about 30 minutes.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Recipe below...let me know if you make them and how you like them!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<h4>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">"Cookie Dough" Bites</span></center>
</h4>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>1 cup of NonGMO protein powder- I mixed half of with <a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=21246" target="_blank">chocolate</a> and half with <a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=20661" target="_blank">instant protein powder</a></li>
<li>1 cup of peanut butter</li>
<li>1/3 cup of honey</li>
</ul>
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Mix these ingredients together, scoop it onto a plate, chill for a little bit, then enjoy! THAT'S IT!!!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
What I really love about this recipe, is that we can add extras to it! This time around, I just mixed it up 'plain,' so they tasted like peanut butter cookies. But you can add chocolate chips, coconut, maybe some flax seed, chia seeds...really the possibilities are endless!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
You can use any protein powder, but the Instant Protein and the Chocolate Protein are the only ones we trust for our family!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Have fun with it and mix it up!</center>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">
If you read my Facebook posts, you may have seen a post a few days back about the ingredient <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">DMDM Hydantoin that's found in a lot of your everyday products like your hair care and body care products.</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17.99715805053711px;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">What is it?</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17.99715805053711px;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">According to wikipedia:</span></center>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">DMDM hydantoin works as a preservative because the released <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formaldehyde" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Formaldehyde">formaldehyde</a> makes the environment less favorable to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microorganism" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Microorganism">microorganisms</a>.</span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So basically, DMDM hydantoin is a form of formaldehyde. Formaldehyde can hide in your products under other names, such as: <span style="line-height: 21px;">diazolidinyl urea, imidazolidinyl urea, quaternium-15, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-</span><wbr style="line-height: 21px;"></wbr><span style="line-height: 21px;">diol, and sodium hydroxylmethylglycinate.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Why do I take issue with this?<u> I don't want any type of formaldehyde on my skin or anyone else in my family</u>. Plus, while I know these types of ingredients are cost effective to the manufacturers, <u>I really believe continued use over long periods of time can and will have an effect on our overall health</u>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While purchasing safer, more natural products seems more expensive today, I believe on down the road you might prevent future doctor visits, illnesses, a general feeling of 'yuck' by switching. Just my two cents!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">OK, so after finding out about DMDM hydantoin, I went on a search through our home to see if we had any products that contained it. I was CERTAIN that we didn't. (I know our cleaning products don't have this chemical in them; we use the <a href="http://yourhealthyhappylife.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=HomeCare&sub_cat=GetCleanStarterKit" target="_blank">best and safest</a>!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit;"><b>Boy, was I wrong!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here's what I found. These are the hair styling products in our home that contain DMDM hydantoin.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ugh. Time to get busy on our mission of eliminating ALL potentially toxic products in our home!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit;"><b>Question for you: What hair products do you use that are safe and natural? I'd love to have some recommendations!!</b></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I love the look of photos being printed on canvas, but I do not love the price! Unless you've got some great coupon, they can range from $40 on up! That's definitely not in our budget for home decor!<br />
<br />
After perusing lots of other blogs, it seems the easiest and most cost effective way to achieve a similar look is to do it yourself! <br />
<br />
Here ya go!<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #351c75;">Materials:</span></h4>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<ul>
<li>Photos of your choice in matte print (I used one 11x16 and three 8x10 photos)</li>
<li>Canvas of the same size (I get mine at Hobby Lobby...two 8x10's for $3.99!!)</li>
<li>Matte Modge Podge (I prefer matte photos and Modge Podge...I don't like glossy, shiny pictures)</li>
<li>Black acrylic paint (Hobby Lobby has acrylics ranging from $3.99 on up)</li>
<li>Two foam paint brushes</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #351c75;">Make It!:</span></h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Using your foam brush, paint your canvas with the Modge Podge and 'glue' your photo on top. Make sure you get the corners really well to help prevent your photo from curling. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Once the photo is dried to the canvas (or mostly dried), paint over your photo with the Modge Podge. Don't freak out! It's supposed to be milky white on the photo! Trust me, I will dry clear!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Be careful here and make sure you use long, even strokes. You can put it on fairly thick, but if you see little bubbles, you'll need to smooth those out.<br /></li>
<li>Let that dry...takes about 45 minutes.<br /></li>
<li>Next, using your other foam brush, get a good bit of acrylic paint and paint the sides of the canvas.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></li>
<li>Using the tip of the brush, make sure you slide it in between any gaps of the canvas and print so that it gets painted and no white is showing.<br /></li>
<li>For an extra 'vintage' look, I like to get just a tiny bit of paint on the brush and tap it on the edge of the photos.</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It's really easy, and fun to make. I really like the way the Modge Podge gives a bit of texture to the print. You can see the strokes on it...the prints aren't perfect, which is what I love! I made a bunch to give as Christmas gifts!</div>
