The simplest way to ditch your first toxic item… and cheapest!
THIS… was the very first swap I ever made on my natural journey—talk about a game changer! I was so over lugging those massive jugs of laundry detergent, watching my dollars disappear each month, and feeling guilty about all that plastic ending up in landfills.

Then, I stumbled upon this fantastic recipe, and whoa, did it turn things around! Not only did it lighten my load (pun intended), but it also opened my eyes to a whole new world of detoxing my home and creating a healthier environment for my family. 

Who knew doing laundry could be such a bright spot?

Here’s WHY the store bought ones need to go…..

Laundry detergents often contain a variety of chemicals and synthetic fragrances that can be harsh on your skin, irritate allergies, and even impact the environment negatively. Ingredients like phosphates, sulfates, parabens, and artificial dyes can leave residues on fabrics, potentially leading to skin sensitivities or reactions, especially for individuals with delicate skin or certain health conditions.

Stay tuned for a tried and true recipe…

Making your own laundry detergent is a wonderful way to ensure that you know exactly what's going into your wash. This can help avoid unwanted chemicals and allergens, and it's often a more eco-friendly and cost-effective option. By using natural ingredients, you can create a gentle, effective detergent that leaves your clothes fresh without any harsh additives.
Creating your own detergent not only supports a more holistic lifestyle but also aligns with sustainable living practices, benefiting both your home and the planet.

Here’s the best recipe….

Homemade Liquid Laundry Soap
Ingredients:
4  Cups - hot tap water
1  Fels-Naptha soap bar
1 Cup - Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
½ Cup Borax

Directions:
     + Grate bar of soap and add to saucepan with water. Stir continually over medium-low heat until soap dissolves and is melted.

     + Add melted soap, washing soda and Borax. Stir well until all powder is dissolved. 
     + Fill bucket to top with more hot water.

     + Stir and fill a used, clean, laundry soap dispenser half full with soap and then fill rest of way with water. 
     + Shake before each use. (The laundry soap will gel)

All natural hacks on how to detoxify your body, home & mind. Helping families create a tranquil space!


Meet Charlotte, Caleb & Christa

 
It took a long time to start a family but once we did I knew that’s what I was supposed to do! I love my kids and wanted the best for them. Sadly, life wasn’t perfect and they were sick way too often! Stress, fears, gene mess-ups, and low immunity ruled our lives and I came to a place where I was just DONE!  It’s hard to look back and even think about where we were!   

Honestly, I was sick and tired of everyone being sick and tired. I was drained. More than that…I believed I was failing everyone around me, and the pressure and unknowns took me to disturbing, hard places. This is not a good place to be as a mom at any time!  Not having hope or peace in that situation made it hard for me to function!  

I was searching for a new normal and found it! A friend of mine was doing her own natural journey and had done lots of research.  She shared what she was doing! At this point, I had nothing to lose and started my own journey!  It didn’t take long before I realized we were less stressed and I had ways to support my kid’s health through natural means!  
 
I don’t even want to imagine where our lives would be if I had not taken this step of faith! Literally!  

Now? We have hope! I also have confidence that my kids can experience their best life!  I’m on a mission to lead others to that same freedom that we have experienced.  You can have better and you deserve the best!
