I decided that this was the summer that our three children would not have daily access to electronics including but not limited to any game systems, tablets, phones, computers, and even the television! It challenged not only them but me as well. Now I had three children that needed to have activities to keep them busy and not fighting. I made sure to have something "fun" planned for everyday with the stipulation that they had to have clean rooms and the chores done in order to partake of the "fun" activity. Required chores were a very new concept to the kids and it took them awhile to understand that I meant what I said, "No fun until the chores are done!" This is a HUGE change from just a few years ago.
Before I was CONSTANTLY busy around the house, doing chores, cleaning, and taking care of EVERYTHING! I didn't really ever have the energy nor the motivation to do much, but did it anyway. I didn't like cleaning because I wouldn't feel well afterward and would often experience mental paralysis where I just could not focus on what the next task should be and my body would feel exhausted. I really wanted to do something different for cleaning supplies because I did not like having all of those toxins and chemicals in our home. I wanted our home to be a safe place for all of us.
When I was introduced to Young Living I began by diffusing Purification essential oil in our living room. I really liked the smell and I was hopeful to have found something to replace candles and air fresheners for our home, making it more child friendly! The diffuser did just that for me. No fear of a kid catching the house on fire from the candles, burning themselves on a wax burner, or inhaling the aerosol room freshener. It made this momma worry less. I did begin to notices something changing in the house. As we removed the candles, wax warmers, and air fresheners I was physically able to breathe easier and mentally I was able to focus better. I began doing more research and made many discoveries about all the nasty stuff in our commercial cleaners. I was heartbroken and devastated all at the same time, along with feeling like I had been betrayed by these companies. I mean, I knew not to let the kids help me clean when using any of them, but it was a game changer when I realized I could have stuff that cleans BETTER and is not causing any harm to my family and is actually helping with our overall wellness!! When I was introduced to Thieves Household Cleaner, I have NEVER looked back! It is SO, SO, SO, much better than anything else out there AND there is no fear or worry from this momma!
So, what does Thieves Household Cleaner have to do with "No Tech Summer?!" You have probably guessed by now! But if you haven't, I no longer have to kick the kids out of where I am cleaning, instead, they themselves do the cleaning as part of their chores! They LOVE, LOVE, LOVE cleaning with the Thieves and often fight over who gets to clean! Win, Win for this momma! I have more time to focus on other task and they have the satisfaction of a job well done!!
