Hormone Disruption from Household Products
Today, we’re talking about hormone disrupting chemicals and what I’ve learned about them so far. These types of chemicals are literally all around us. They can be in the air we breathe, the products we use in our homes and on our bodies, and in the food and drinks we consume. So what exactly are hormone disruptors, and what are they doing to our bodies? Hormone disruptors (also called endocrine disruptors or EDs in scientific literature), are chemicals that act on your hormonal system.

Stinkbug Naturals
I’ve been a lover of Stinkbug Naturals for several years now. It is my favorite nontoxic deodorant and trust me, I’ve tried them all! Most non toxic deodorants don’t work or cause skin irritation due to the baking soda ingredients. I’m thankful for Stinkbug because it’s effective and also isn’t crazy expensive.

By making smart choices about EMF radiation protection, we can make our homes safer for ourselves, our…

Okay, guys…. I am SO excited to talk about this experience the boys and I were able to have recently. It’s not everyday that I take time to make myself feel beautiful, when The Mailroom Barber wanted to collaborate with us, I literally JUMPED at the chance.

Ideas for Getting Outdoors
As a family, we have decided to get outside as much as possible since we are under a quarantine. This is not only good for your health but your kids and you need to get out of the house and stretch, breathe and enjoy the outdoors. Anyone that’s feeling super bored, stressed, tired, anxious, etc, etc… GO OUTSIDE! It will change your entire day if you allow it. We recently went on a family hike at Lynches River… we had an absolute blast exploring and the kids were worn out by the time we got home! I hope you enjoy the photos, I can’t believe how big they’re all getting!…
