You know what I love?

This mop is awesome! It's so nice to have everything together in one easy to use system. 

I use it everyday and love it. Wanna try it? Let me know and I'll tell you how you can get your own!

Mother's Day

Must have!

The cleaning paste is a thing of wonder. It lasts forever and smells like rain. I thought it was weird the first time I saw it at my friend's house. But I'm sure people thought it was weird to think of the earth as round instead of flat like a map. Cleaning paste is for your heavy duty messes: your baked on crud or your stains that just won't come off. I've had mine for a long time, but it barely looks like I've used it. Next to the basic package, I believe it to be the best investment you can make for your house. 

Speaking of the Basic Package, this is all you really need to experience the true power of Norwex. It's strength is in the microfiber that is unlike anything you'll buy at a store. It's fiber 1/200th the size of a human hair. The stuff you buy at the store only has to be 1/6th the size of a human hair to be considered microfiber. Not to mention the silver that inhibits bacterial growth. Would any other store give you a 2 year warranty on your cleaning supplies? Norwex does. 

Did you know that Norwex was FAIR TRADE? Yes. Not everything is made in the USA, but wherever their factories are, they are practicing humane and earth friendly rules.

Why not use cotton? Because it just spreads the mess. I want to get rid of it, so I use Norwex. 

I do windows!

We always here jokes about housekeepers saying, "I don't do windows". Well I used to say that until I learned about Norwex. Now I LOVE doing windows! Start with a wet Envirocloth that will remove 100% of bacteria, germs and dirt. It can handle grease and oil too! Anything you throw at it! 

Then polish your windows with a streak free shine with the Window Cloth. This will polish anything! 

Make up comes off!

Today's make-up is amazing. But it can be just as expensive to buy something to get it off as the stuff itself. Well, no longer! 

These cloths feel like satin when they are wet. They really do get off the toughest make-up with just water! I haven't had time to do before and after, but it's on my TO-DO list. 

Doing the dishes

I don't know about you, but dishes are horrible. I hates them! Totally! Even though Norwex has made my life so much easier in many ways as well as saving me so much money, I didn't think Norwex could make doing the dishes better. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? They have the weirdest thing ever. The dish cloth! 

I never thought I would buy a dishcloth. How could this mesh thing get my dishes clean?! IT WORKS!!! 

It is made in the USA and really works. The mess gets all sudsy and scrubs off the dishes better than I ever imagined. Please try it! I love that it doesn't hold gross things, it rinses easily and I use less soap because it takes so little to get suds!

If I have a really nasty pot or pan, the SPIRINETT is amazing! There isn't a dirty dish in my house that can't get clean. So, if you want to try something, let NORWEX make doing the dishes easier. 

Passover cleaning starts...

That's not really true. I've been cleaning for a while, but I mean the kitchen.

 Passover cleaning starts in the kitchen.

 I have all this Passover food and no where to put it right now. There's this amazing rotating cabinet that I haven't had the nerve or stomach to clean. My house was vacant for years and I've been dealing with one area at a time. Passover is the perfect reason. I feel that cleaning is a physical act that brings holiness to the mundane. Cleaning can be monotonous for us stay-at-home parents. Yet there is something amazing that happens when you get into the nooks and crannies, also knowing that families all over the world are doing the same thing.

Same for lighting candles on Shabbat. You know that somewhere there is a woman lighting candles at the same time, singing the same blessing. That connectivity pushes me when I feel desperately lonely. When my kids are asking for something from me at the same time. We are all connected. I am not alone in this. I am obeying my Creator, not just getting through the day.

So today I'm going to conquer the rotating cabinet. Not because it's dirty and needs it, but because it's the right thing to do at this time. Perhaps if I could take this concept throughout the rest of the year. I'm not doing the dishes because they are dirty, but because it's the right thing to do at this time! I'm getting ready for Shabbat every day of the week. I just need to remind myself of that. 

But cleaning this year will be different. Why?

 I will take my handy Norwex dust mitt and dust off the cobwebs and then my Envirocloth to get all the germs and bacteria. That's it. Not hours of breathing caustic chemicals. This Passover will be the easiest clean ever! I hope to make video and take pictures soon. 

I won this book!

I was involved in a Norwex training and my amazing colleagues had a contest and I won this terrific book! After the scary night we had, I definitely needed the pick-me-up! Even the envelope was so cute. Made me smile. Thank you Michelle and Chad!

I'm only a few pages in and I'm so excited about it. The format is fun and casual with graphics and fun dialogue. This is by no means a dry and boring read. If you are looking for an interesting read that will change your life, please go to the library or buy it! Gotta get off the computer and read it!

Road trip with Norwex

Traveling with three kids is not easy. Do you know what's made it easier for me? Norwex. I don't have to pack liquid soaps of any kind. Shaving cream? Nope. I just bring these cloths with me. 

If I stop at the gas station and my windows are gross (you know from the five second rain plus three hour dirt storm), I can just use water and clean the car windows without worrying about the gross chemicals available at the fuel station. 

If you know me, you know I have reusable bags, but these new Norwex bags will carry my food without having to worry about bacteria. Since I am being really careful with what I eat, I have to travel with my food. If anything spills, I can just wipe it up with an Envirocloth. 

Have you ever run out of wipies? Well, no worries. These are reusable.  I use these and then I can just take them home and wash them. We don't really think about the wipies we've used in the past and that they are still sitting in landfills. Get past the guilt and stop the insanity!

I don't have to worry about spilling make-up remover on my clothing or in the car because these cloths are AMAZING! I use heavy duty mascara and this comes off with just water. My face doesn't feel oily or extra dry with these. Just clean.

School anywhere

Today we're learning at the library.

Zalmi is building a castle and playing with two other preschoolers. He found a Paw Patrol book and let me read about half of it before he decided he was finished.

Zippy is learning about ravens. (We have a lot in Gardendale).

Zee is in the "batcave" in the teen room, doing his work independently. I'm catching up on business stuff.

I'm not feeling 100% today but we needed to get to town. So it's nice to be in a new environment. I'm building my business and why do I sell Norwex? Because I truly believe in the company and it allows me to stay home with my children. The products really work and they save me tons of money. Not having to buy expensive chemicals brings joy to my heart and I love sharing this! Please feel free to email me with any questions you might have.

Passover cleaning and Norwex

I love knowing that every corner of my house has been cleaned. It's a great feeling. Yet have you ever asked yourself what will happen if you use a ton of chemicals year after year? Without going into the scary details, let's just agree that chemicals are dangerous and there has to be a better way. To be honest, these cleaners are new. Only in the last 100 years have we thought that chemicals will get us closer to clean. Can you imagine our families in 1812 using caustic chemicals to rid their homes of chametz?  

They are cleaning the Wall without hazmat suits. Can you?

I found Norwex because I am determined to make this world a better place. I don't believe families need to spend hundreds of dollars every year to get their houses clean. There is a better way. This isn't a gimmick. It really works. 

So even if you have been programmed by television commercials and mother guilt to clean your house like a sewage plant; it really is easy to stop and do it differently. 

This is my first year to truly clean without chemicals. The last few years I either spent hours making my own cleaners or bought so-called healthy cleaners that I had an extremely allergic reaction to. It's expensive and ridiculous to work so hard for so little in the way of results. 

Once I bought Norwex, I haven't had to go down the cleaning section at the store in months. SAVING me hundreds of dollars. No more paper towel. Doing my part to save trees! My children have really sensitive skin and we're not dealing with rashes or breathing problems as much anymore. 

I am passionate about helping others create safe havens! 

Cleaning takes me half the time! The CDC recommends cleaning with microfiber, but Norwex is different than anything you can find at a store. 

Norwex is also amazing when it comes to problems and issues. They demand quality of their products and if you run into any problems, there is a 2 year warranty! They want to make their customers happy. If you buy a cloth at the store and it falls apart, what will you do? Just buy another one? 

Please check out my store site and feel free to ask me questions on Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram!

Blogging

It's been such a long time since I just blogged. My world has been a roller coaster. I'm trying to get off of it, but it takes some practice.

My friend and I are striving for the KISS approach. Keep It Simple Stupid! How much work is it to simplify!?

Between studying the Torah, preparing our garden, keeping the house clean, teaching three children, spreading the word about Norwex, finding time for creativity, dealing with doctors, writing my book, and loving our  new puppy- we are very busy! (This is a small list compared to what I deal every day).

Zalmi is dealing with extreme separation anxiety. I can't leave the room without promising that I will always come back!  He loves reading. Our trips from Gardendale to Midland are always full of books and toys. He counts everything and wants to know everyone's names. He's starting talking to everyone he meets. It's adorable. 

 Zippy is on cloud 9 with her puppy. She has shown great maturity to clean up every mess with joy and love. She is teaching her tricks and cuddling on her every spare minute. She is learning French and Hebrew (gotta prep for Bat Mitzvah) and she's mastering her multiplication tables. She is forever writing to her friends and making new ones! We hope to meet some new Homeschool buddies tomorrow (weather permitting). 

Zee is learning tons and exploring his creative side. Learning guitar, Japanese, practical math (he knows how to write a check, make a budget, pay bills, start accounts, and more every day), driving, sewing, 

We need to head home now, so I'll try to blog more frequently.

Relaxing at Mom's house

 Zalmi was chilling at Gramma's house watching Paw Patrol.

 Here's my view of the kids playing their devices "together".

 Ok. So not together, but in the same room.

 Zalmi had a blast roaming around in the wide open spaces.

 The children had fun doing a new cast at the Children's Museum.

 Zalmi loved crawling for a few minutes in the toddler room, but he thinks he's 12 years old, so the fun wore off quickly.

 Tzipi made a great meteorologist!

 Here they are running a business.

 Zalmi is getting busy with all the hands-on fun.

 Climbers gotta climb!

 Grab nose0 (glad he wasn't real).

 Zee at the Planetarium with Jar Jar Binks and sister trolling the pic. We watched a show on the Google Lunar X Prize. It's a great concept. We're looking into their Ocean X Prize project. Click Here to Learn more!

Here's Gramma and her three beebs. Miss her already!
