Here it is the end of April and our family has nearly escaped cold and flu season unscathed. Now don't get me wrong we have had a few minor fevers and colds this past season but NOTHING compared to years past.
Since my first was born, winter has been a season of trips to the ER and hospitalizations for both kids. Between serious ear infections, flu type bugs and pneumonia we have had our share of illness. This year has been different. We had a couple of lingering low grade fevers for both kids and both my hubby and me. We had lots of sniffles and colds too. In fact my eldest has had a minor fever and headaches off and on all week. (Spring is her worst season because her allergies are at their height and her immune system is working hard dealing with that so she's more likely to get sick at this time of year.) But we have thus far managed to avoid the Norwalk type viruses that have been going around. No pneumonia and no serious ear infections or flu bugs that involved spewing from various orifices. I love it!
We no longer use and chemicals in our home with 1 exception - our dishwasher detergent since our new dishwasher has a stainless interior and the Norwex solution can't be used with stainless steel dishwashers. We have some 'stuff' out in the garage for that type of mess but nothing is used inside. There may be some naysayers who think that chemicals are the only way but 'proof is in the pudding' as they say and my family is healthy.
Although I am still working on the clutter that envelops our lives with 2 young children and a busy work and social calendar, my house is clean. My kids are healthy and I attribute it to many things but the Norwex is the new thing and I think this year it has made a huge difference for us. Cleaning is SO much easier that it actually gets done more regularly than it did before Norwex and without chemicals the house is getting cleaner too. No residue left behind to collect extra dirt and dust. No chemicals polluting our air. Surfaces cleaner just using water! Could it get any better? I think not.

Connecting to My Facebook Page
Just a simple connection to my Facebook page until I figure out how to properly link the accounts. I am so NOT technically inclined. But this too I will learn.

Virginia's New Norwex Blog!
I have been selling Norwex Enviro Products since March of 2010 and what a difference these products have made in my life!
I am starting this blog in an attempt to share my enthusiasm for Norwex products and to help my clients stay on top of their own cleaning 'issues'. Many of my clients have mentioned that they don't have time to clean. Well let's forget about cleaning and start Norwexing together.
I am going to let you all in on a little secret - I HATE cleaning! Using the Norwex Enviro Cloth and Polishing Cloth along with a few other basic tools has changed all of that! Since I can clean my kitchen in little spurts of effort while waiting for the kettle to boil or the microwave to beep it makes Norwexing my way to do things and 'cleaning' a thing of the past. Sure there are times that I too 'fall off the wagon' and get lazy but with Norwex http://www.norwex.com/ and Fly Lady http://www.flylady.net/ I have managed to keep my home clean and I'm getting it organized too!
The tips that Fly Lady offers in combination with the fabulous Norwex products that I use and sell have changed my outlook on cleaning and even my outlook on life. The day to day 'druggery' of being a stay at home mom (SAHM) isn't what it once was. I can actually enjoy my children and play with them without feeling guilty!
What do I intend to do with this blog? Share my cleaning tips and timing with you. What does that mean? Well for example today I have used the Norwex Mattress cleaner to spray my children's beds and stuffed toys as well as their carpet and comforters. The Mattress Cleaner is a fantastic product that eradicates dust mites and therefore in my household helps to reduce the affects of my daughter's asthma and allergies and my husband's sleep apnea and my own allergies as well. We can all sleep better and have a healthier environment for breathing. The Mattress Cleaner uses enzyme technology to remove the food source for dust mites allowing them to starve to death. The cleaner's effects last up to 6 months but in my highly allergic and asthma riddled home I use it every 4 months (give or take a week or two).
If you have the Mattress Cleaner go use it. If not let me know and we'll get you some! This is one product I feel every home needs to make it healthier and happier!
For now that is all. But as I do more Norwexing I'll keep you posted in little blips and blurbs... and by the way today is also laundry day using my Norwex laundry Detergent and Dryer balls. Less waste and less than 5% phosphates going into the water system per bag of luandry detergent in my house... What is your phosphate rating on your laundry detergent?
