Calling Everyone with Grandchildren

I was going to call this post "Calling All Grandmas," but realized that there are almost as many names for grandmothers as there are names for grandchildren.  Whatever your name is--Grandma, Gigi, Grammy, Granny, Meemaw, Mimi or something else--I'm writing this post to you.

There's talk these days about having a "toxin-free" home. When I look back on my childhood, I know my parents never talked about nor worried about toxins in our home.  It was a simpler time--as kids, we played outside for hours, walked to our elementary school (no adults), rode our bikes with neighborhood kids and ate homemade snacks, school lunches, breakfasts and dinners around our kitchen table.  Most of our vegetables came straight out of the garden.  There was little pre-packaged or processed food in our home.

Fast forward to today and we have concerns about childhood obesity, childhood diabetes, over-medication, over-use of antibiotics, high cholesterol, air quality, pesticides in our foods, artificial colors/dyes, dangerous food allergies, impure drinking water, GMA food products--. the list goes on and on. 

Grandmas, I’ve noticed that it is our children’s generation who, as parents, are seeking wellness through natural, organic solutions.  I must admit I’ve come late to the party, thinking that “natural” is just a fad. It’s taken me time and a lot of research to get on board, but I’m all in now.  Our Creator has given each of us one body and, corporately, given us one earth.  The plants He created are powerful, and I believe we should educate ourselves and understand their wonderful properties before we look for another pill to take.  There is a place for doctors and medicines in my life, but, where possible and sensible, I focus first on prevention.    

I want my home (and yours) to be as toxin-free as possible--for me AND for my grandchildren.  I want to know that the ingredients in my cleaning products, my sunscreen, my bug spray, my shampoo, my soaps, my makeup, my skincare products, my toothpaste, my vitamins and supplements (and more) are safe and pure.  My independent research and a good friend introduced me to Young Living—this is a company I can trust to support my health, the health of my grandchildren and my future.  They have products in each of the categories I listed above (and more) that meet my toxin-free standards. I’d love to tell you about my Young Living journey, the reason I am passionate about their products and my story of how these products have changed my life.  

Are you thinking it's time to join me and start the process of becoming a toxin-free family, but have questions? Comment below or by email and I’ll do my best to answer; if I can’t, I will connect you with experts and research so you can make your own decision.
