Several years ago, I bought an all-purpose cleaner that was infused with essential oils. I loved it, but one day I noticed a warning label on the back that stated, “Avoid release to the environment. Dispose of contents/containers in accordance with local/regional/national/international regulations. Harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects.” It also said to keep out of reach of children. After some research, I decided to try experimenting with my own recipe that was similar, but didn’t have harmful ingredients in it. After a little bit of experimenting, I came up with a recipe that I really liked. This recipe doesn’t take long to make, is more frugal than my previous purchased product, and smells so good. I have used this on a lot of surfaces and really love it, but please remember to spot check on a small, inconspicuous area before using

Our family has learned to slow down, make careful observations of what heals/damages, get rid of the distractions, take a little more time preparing our food, and most importantly to seek the Lord’s wisdom. It’s a daily struggle and it never goes perfectly, but we just keep trying to do the best we can. If you are working toward a more traditional, clean, whole foods diet, and would like to take small steps to get there, then you are at the right place. Week one was get your salt right, week 2 was get your sleep right, weeks 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 were get your fats right, we had several weeks about seasonings and herbs, some important discussion about natural sweeteners, talked about Forgiveness, hopefully we got our eggs right, learned about the benefits of pastured, clean meats, considered getting mercury removed, we got the toxins out of our mouth, skin, and hair, and this week we will continue to focus on our house. Join us next Tuesday for Get Your . . . Right.
