I want to introduce Cape Cod Moms to a healthier and safer way of cleaning. Norwex has been around for 25yrs. It's mission is to radically reduce chemicals in the home. The reason why I decided to become a Consultant for Norwex was because one day my husband and I were doing our normal Sunday cleaning routine and my husband was using a Swiffer wet jet to clean the kitchen floor. My daughter who is only 19 months likes to pretend clean when we are cleaning (it's the cutest thing), well anyways she was pretend cleaning by rubbing her hands on the floor that he just had sprayed those chemicals from the swiffer wet jet! I was mortified! That's when I knew I had to make a change! A friend of mine that I knew was a Norwex consultant approached me about Norwex and I was skeptical at first because I was already doing a makeup network marketing gig. I found myself in a slump and just uninspired. I researched Norwex and and immediately fell in love with what they stood for and the products. I decided to ditch the makeup and be a Norwex Consultant! My favorite thing about Norwex is there are no harsh chemicals! You clean with WATER! YES I SAID WATER! It is truly amazing! I can keep my home and kids safe from chemicals. Everything is is reusable! You save a ton of money on cleaning supplies! When comparing buying traditional chemicals and all their "accessories" it sure adds up, especially since everything is disposable. Norwex is sustainable and last longer!! I am available for home and facebook parties! They have amazing incentives when you host a party!! April is Mop month! So you could get a free Mop system with a qualifying party.  Born and raised on Cape Cod and Married to her best friend. she is a Mommy to Jonathon and Paige and a Norwex Consultant

 Stroller Cleanup Time By Molly As you may or may not know I am a total stroller junky. I have been known to buy a stroller on a really good sale use it for a while then sell it or find a great deal on a used stroller and clean it up then use it for a while and sell it to move on to the next stroller. The one exception to this are my single and double BOB Revolutions which I love and will have until the day no more stroller are required for my kids or probably any other family members kids who knows. When you are a stroller junky like me you need to know how to clean your strollers to make them look great again. Now that the warm sunny weather has finally arrived it is a great time to clean your stroller and do some basic maintenance. The way I like to clean my strollers is first vacuum out any crumbs or chunks of stuff then on a nice sunny warm day take them outside and hose them down until they are soaked with water. Once soaked I take a sponge and a toothbrush or larger soft brush plus a bucket of warm soapy water (I use unscented dish soap other people love Dawn) and starting at the top of the stroller and scrubbing it down. The tooth brush works great on the straps and in crevices. After I have scrubbed down the whole stroller I rinse all the soap off and dry the metal parts down with a towel and let it dry in the sun. I know some people also use Oxiclean spray and spray down the stroller and let it sit in the sun before washing it to help with staining and mildew. Also some seat fabric that is removable like Uppababy and Baby Jogger you can wash in the washing machine just make sure to put it back on the frame to dry. Once your stroller is nice and clean you should look it over for any maintenance it might need. If it has removable wheels take them off and wipe down the axles and clean out grit that might be in the axle shaft. You can lubricate the shaft with white grease or BuggyLOVE WheelLOVE and also you can put WD40 on brakes or squeaky shocks just make sure not to get it on the fabric as it stains. Here are some online resources: Cleaning a BOB UPPAbaby tips Cleaning a Baby Jogger Cleaning a Bugaboo Do you have any great trick for cleaning your stroller?  Molly, her husband, and their 4 and 6 year split their time between their little piece of the cape in Orleans and Cambridge. She was a kindergarten teacher before her oldest was born then became a SAHM. She loves running, books, supporting literacy, nature walks, arts, craft, knitting and sewing as well as being outside and on the beach!
 Recently, I've been thinking a lot about the benifits of letting go. Why? Well, I've noticed that there are quite a few things in my life that need to be set free. These include (but are not limited to) the ridiculous amount of clutter in one of my closets; the dust that has accumulated on my furniture over the past couple of weeks; the pile of old books, CDs and DVDs in the trunk of my car, waiting to be donated to the library; the fabulous piece of theater I just finished working on with a whole bunch of talented new friends; the box hiding in a dark corner full of my ex-boyfriend's shadows; and last but not least, my Buddha belly! *sigh*
Why do I need to let these things go? Well, to be honest I see letting go as a sort of cleansing exercise. And I believe that letting go will help to clear space in my life for new projects, new inspiration, a breath of fresh air. Besides, I don't want to end up the subject of a "Hoarders" episode... Yikes, have you SEEN that show? Freaky. In any case, letting go is very different from giving up. Giving up means stopping in the middle of something, not following through, walking away. Giving up happens when we are fearful or frustrated or overwhelmed or just plain done. But letting go is something else entirely. Letting go involves a certain amount of trust that we don't need to cling to something any longer. Letting go happens when something is finished, ended, no longer necessary. Letting go makes me think of openness, willingness, lightness. Some people have to let go all the time: Think of parachute jumpers or hang gliders! Imagine the amount of letting go they have to practice each time they push off. Then there are the tightrope walkers and trapeze artists: They must have to let go of tremendous amounts of fear, stress and limiting negativity each time they perform. And don't forget about actors: They spend their time bonding with group after group of fellow actors, moving from show to show, memorizing lines and cues for each show and then letting all of it go after each final performance and strike party. As for me, I've decided to imitate a trapeze artist: Flexible, fearless, strong, adaptable, willing and able to let go as often as needed in order to reach my goals. Right now, my immediate goal is to let go of (at least some of) those items listed above before the end of February... Wish me luck. How about you? What do you want or need to let go of? Old clothes that don't fit you or your style anymore? Out-dated appliances, TVs, computers or cell phones that could be donated to a needy organization? A worn-out relationship or friendship that takes more than you can give? A hairstyle that you know needs an update? Whatever it is, I KNOW you have something hanging around that needs to be let go. You can't fool me! 0_O So here's what you can do: Let. It. Go. Seriously. What have you got to lose? =) Change Coach Pam Pamela Wills, CPC Elasticity Change Coaching Change is GOOD! www.ElasticityCoaching.com changecoachpam@gmail.com Facebook Page Profile GetHappyPlace Blog Please remember that referrals make me very happy! |
