Shaklee: Get Clean
So you may be wondering ~ Get Clean? I am clean! I do clean! BUT.....
Did you know that 81,000 chemicals have been registered with the Environmental Protection Agency in the last 30 years – and fewer than 20% have been tested for toxicity? It’s true, and some of those chemicals can find their way into your home through the cleaning products you use.
It’s also true that 90% of all poison exposures occur at home. And over 200,000 reported poison exposures in 2005 were from household cleaning products...
In fact, 20 million Americans suffer from asthma and that includes one out of every 13 school-aged children. Asthma rates in children under age 5 have increased more than 160% from 1980 to 1994.
And here’s the real dirt…common household cleaners and appliances give off fumes that can potentially increase the risk of developmental damage in children.
Many of us are living in a TOXIC home - And I’ll bet some of those products are under your sink....like....Oven Cleaners, drain cleaners, wood and metal cleaners and polishes, toilet cleaners, tub, tile and shower cleaners and laundry bleach – do you know what all those cleaning products have in common? Well, they’re all designated as household hazardous waste, according to the EPA – who warns, “Improper disposal of these products can pollute the environment and pose a threat to human health.”
I hope by now it’s clear that one of the most important choices you make for your family’s health is deciding what you bring into your home. And it’s definitely time to get rid of those conventional household cleaning products under your sink.
Thankfully Shaklee offers an alternative to unhealthy, unsafe cleaning products. With Shaklee Get Clean™ you get outstanding, nontoxic cleaning choices that maintain the healthy environment you want for the people you care about.
WHY should you trust Shaklee??? Get Clean™ offers cleaning choices that are SAFE for you, your home, and your planet. But I know what you’re thinking…can a cleaner that’s based on ingredients from natural sources really work? Well the answer is a resounding “yes,” because at Shaklee we believe you shouldn’t have to sacrifice powerful convictions for powerful cleaners.
To back it up we offer a 100% money-back guarantee that Get Clean™ products will deliver a powerful clean in every room of your house.
In fact, we’ve conducted independent, 3rd party testing to ensure that, when it comes to cleaning power, our products rival or beat leading brands.
Get Clean™ provides powerful cleaners to clean your home inside and out, including all-purpose cleaners, and products specifically for your kitchen and laundry.
UP NEXT...some of my favorite Shaklee cleaners!

24 Weeks & Counting!
Josh is now 24 weeks weeks BIG :) We are finishing up month 5!
Josh is growing steadily...gaining about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon. Josh's nipples are starting to sprout, and that little face is fully formed. And, baby's starting to settle into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. Its not too hard to figure out when -- he's most active about 4 hours after I wake up ~ then mid afternoon & later evening. He's starting to move around when Jon talks to him ~ which is quite fun!

My CVS Trip
I walk in armed with coupons ~ finding deals & I come out feeling like its Christmas... I love it!
I was a bit dissapointed because I didn't pick up a Sunday paper last week & so I missed out on some pretty good deals ~ yet I still bought all this for just $2 (after Extra CareBucks)!
Well, my sweet husband came home from work early ~ so fun! So, I am going to hang out with him!

~ Coupon World ~
Well, coupon world ~ here I come. I am home ~ I am free ~ and I am GOING TO save money! I've been doing alot of research on how to coupon here in Tulsa, OK ~ and how to save money on groceries, shopping and baby things for when little Joshie comes. I'm learning how to be a frugal momma!
I have just recently discovered ALDI ~ which I think is my new favorite store. It has the cheapest version of everything ~ which means I no longer stand in the aisles trying to do math quickly in my head to find out which is the best buy. I literally used to sweat while standing in the store staring hopelessly at numbers and boxes when we were first married ~ while everyone else ~ either didn't care how much things cost or had super quick brain power & decision making skills and blew right past me in the aisles. At ALDI you can not use coupons...just have to get what they have ~ if you like the price/selection.
I have combined ALDI with E Mealz ~ a service that plans your grocery list for you & plans 5 meals a week for you ~ telling you how much each item you need is. This has cut our grocery bill in HALF. I am super excited about this :)
I've decided to do that & shop at CVS and others for all our extras or freebies ~ which is where the coupons come in. I'm headed to CVS tomorrow with a coupon for a free item (up to $3), and $10 off a $20 purchase, plus $4.99 in Extra Care Bucks....I can't wait to see the goodies I come out with :) I never knew how CVS worked until my friend, Jennifer, explained to me the amazing deals you can come out with ~ last time I went I didn't spend anything & we got men's & women's body wash & shampoo & conditioner ~ for FREE!
More to come ~ maybe tomorrow I'll tell you what I bought from CVS :)

A refreshing reminder of when circumstances may not be what you want or even expect ~ put very succinctly by Matt Chandler:
"There is nothing ~ NOTHING ~ that is currently in your life that God has not in His infinite, all-knowing wisdom decided not to stop ~ and SO THEREFORE it is a part of the purposes of God for His glory and your eventual joy"

Swagbucks :)
For those of you that have never heard of Swagbucks...listen in :) Might I say free money ~ easy money? Thanks to Money Saving Mom ~ Here's some info with my extra notes too!
If you’re new to Swagbucks, it’s an online search engine that rewards you for searching online. It’s very simple to sign up for. In fact, it takes all of about one minute. There are no fees, no credit card required and no phone number or address requested.
If you are going to try it out before reading the rest :) ~ click here: http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/mwcouponmom
Swagbucks is hosting a big Summer Swag event today and they are releasing five different free codes. Plus, every 7th winning search on Swagbucks will be awarded 25 points!
To get these free codes, make sure you are signed up with Swagbucks and then read the post here on how to follow along and snag the codes they are releasing. As I discover new codes, I’ll also be posting hints on where to find them on the Money Saving Mom Facebook Page.
After that, you are credited 30 points to your account. After that, you’ll be rewarded randomly 5-20 points for searches you do online. You can also earn points by downloading the toolbar. Plus, Swagbucks routinely gives away free points on their blog, Facebook and Twitter accounts.
With just a tiny bit of effort, you can pretty easily earn enough to get a $5 Amazon gift card (or a number of other prizes worth around $5) every 4-6 weeks.
Now, you might be thinking, “What’s the big deal if I only earn a $5 gift card every month?” Well, you’re right, $5 isn’t that exciting. It’s something, but that’s only the beginning. You see, your earnings will exponentially multiply when you refer others.
Do you know anyone else who searches online? I thought so. Well, tell them about Swagbucks, send them your referral link, and you’ll not only instantly earn more points when they sign up, you’ll also earn points for the searching they do online.
Tell lots of folks and you’re well on your way to funding your entire Christmas budget with free gift cards from Swagbucks. I’m not kidding you, that’s exactly what myself and many others I know have done. It really works!
For those of you who have blogs, you’ll especially want to jump on board with this. It’s free, it won’t take much of your time to do, and it could generate a nice stream of gift cards in your mailbox.
(And yes, if you click through the links in this post and sign up, I get a referral credit. If you don’t feel comfortable with that, you can sign up directly on Swagbucks.com.)
