Creating a Safer, Healthier Home:
My Wellness Journey

Embracing Toxin-Free Living

When I first started looking for cleaner products, I had one goal in mind: to create a safe environment for my family. With 13 kids running around, the last thing I wanted was to call poison control every time they got into something they shouldn’t have. I knew there had to be a better way—a way to care for my home without compromising my children’s health.

My journey into toxin-free living started out of necessity but quickly became a passion. As I learned more about the toxins hidden in everyday household products, I made the bold decision to clean out my home. I gathered three boxes filled with toxic cleaners and threw them out. My husband was less than thrilled—after all, that was money spent—but I knew in my heart I was making the right choice. A clean, healthy home was far more valuable than a house filled with harmful chemicals.

Finding Balance in a Toxin-Free Lifestyle

Beyond just switching to safer products, I found that true wellness is about balance. With such a large family, life can be hectic, but I’ve discovered that taking time for myself is just as important as taking care of those I love. Reading, sewing, knitting, hiking, and camping are not just hobbies; they are ways I recharge and maintain my own well-being. Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s necessary.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned along the way, it’s that sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith. Jump in with both feet and trust the process. Choosing a healthier lifestyle may seem overwhelming at first, but every small step makes a difference.

Today, as a representative of the Wellness Store, I’m passionate about helping others make the same positive changes for their families. If you’re looking for a way to embrace toxin-free living, I encourage you to start small, stay committed, and embrace the journey. Your family’s health is worth it!
