Let's get motivated!!

Welcome to our Blog! It's very exciting to share this information with other busy mums such as ourselves. We want to spread the message of health and wellness to other mothers as it has helped our families. I have a young family of 2 energetic little boys and a husband who requires care due to an accident a few years ago. I am also a full-time uni student and a very busy mum who is very aware of how important our role is as mothers to care for ourselves as much as we care for our familes. I think mothers are the glue that holds families together and it is my mission and passion to help other mums lead a more productive, healthier life through support, encouragement and a brilliant opportunity to enhance their lives.

Come and join us on our journey to be more motivated, live happier, healthier lives :)

WHAT'S IN YOUR CUPBOARDS?

WHAT'S IN YOUR CUPBOARDS? I would like to put out a challenge to all Mums out there to read your labels, and ask you to decide whether it is time for you to change to healthier, safer, products, and save yourself money in the meantime - even earning some extra money if you would like to do so?

Are you tired, run down, depressed, needing to lose weight, wanting your life to change but don't have the energy to make it happen? Read on . . .

In July last year, my sister asked me if I had ever read the labels on my cleaning products. I did so, and what I found shocked me. Poison warnings galore, and a list of ingredients I would be jailed for using on my dog. But here I was, cleaning the loo, floors, windows and surfaces, not to mention OUR CLOTHING, with toxic harmful products.

My baby had eczema, my husband psoriasis, and me - dry itchy skin and cracked hands . . . We were tired, run down, and lacking vital energy.

My sister then introduced me to a brand of personal and home products to try out . . . safer for my home, better for the environment, and MORE COST EFFECTIVE than any other brands on the market. No caustic ingredients, no phosphates, nothing that will kill our fish, wildlife, or our kids. No hydrochloric acid in the dishwasher liquid . . . nothing that threatens anyone or anything, including the Ph levels in our dishwasher.

The baby's eczema disappeared, never to return. My husbands psoriasis settled down so he was not constantly using his usual toxic chemical medicine prescription, and my skin calmed down also. The supplements helped me lose weight, regain my energy levels, and the baby to sleep through the night because my breast milk was better quality. I was also spending less time and LESS MONEY in the supermarket - because there are three aisles that I no longer walk down - particularly the cleaning aisle. No need to, because I have superb products delivered directly to my door every month.

I introduced other people to the products, friends, family, seeing similar health results for them.

As a result, I earned a modest commission, enough to pay for all my home products, including skin care and cosmetics, bath and shower products, and health supplements and sports products.

My family is healthier physically, and also financially. So are my friends. It has been a joy to see my friends start to earn a little extra for themselves, while getting health benefits.

I am comfortable with every product we have in our house, knowing that the baby will never end up in hospital, or worse, because she has drunk any of the poisonous products available in the supermarkets.

My husband is happy, because we have a small (and growing) supplementary income coming in each month, taking the load off him to provide so much.

Do it NOW. Read your labels and make the switch to a healthier, safer, financially sensible brand.

Go to www.saferforyourhome.com or www.melaleuca.com/introduction for more information . . . your family will love you for it, and so will your bank manager!!!

If you have the courage, go to this link, and watch the video all the way through - especially when it talks about the personal care chemicals . . . it is absolutely horrific, and we need to ACT NOW to change it for our future generations!!!

Welcome to all MOTIVATED MUMS!


"if you want to predict the future, create it yourself"
Wally Lewis

Welcome to all MOTIVATED MUMS visiting this page. We hope you will join us in discussions, commenting, and of course, also jump on board with our campaign to get Queensland homes free from toxic chemicals, and enhance the health and wellbeing of your family, and learn how to enhance the health and wellbeing of your family FINANCES at the same time!

That little hand at the right hand side says it all. We are the guardians of the future, and those fragile little people need us to make the right decisions now. When you are just one person on your own its not always easy to manage as well as you would like to. We all need the support of other women . . . Together, we can make magical things happen.

Veronica and I are two ordinary Mums with fairly ordinary challenges: little kids and partners and homes to manage, money to juggle, and a desire to make a difference in the lives of others. We face a few extra difficulties as well - Vee manages a long term care situation, and me the challenge of being 48 with a toddler!!!

We know that way too many households out there are struggling to make ends meet, and that all too often, Mums like ourselves are trying to hold it all together and finding doing so difficult.

We have started this group as a means of mutual support, but also to invite other Mums to join us so that we can all benefit from the support of others in our situation. Along the way we hope to have a few laughs, learn from the success stories of others, and create a team of women that work together to create a healthy thriving community. All you need in order to join us is the desire to enhance your life, and an open mind . . . and an hour a week to meet up and make it happen.

Looking forward to seeing you at one of our meetings very soon!
