Hi, my name is Val. I am really happy to be the newest member of this crafty team of mamas that are set on making their lives and homes more user friendly.
I would like to challenge you all to a decluttering intervention . Each week I will post a list of my trouble spots for the week. There is only one clutter spot per day to go through. It helps not to try to go too fast. Not all of us can find a whole afternoon to go through all the linens and clothing ¦ but most of us can find 10 minutes to go through the towels.
The only thing you will really need for this challenge is a notebook. Any note book will do. This will be to keep a list next to you of the needs in each area you are decluttering. For example: If you go through your children’s clothing and find that your daughter only has 4 pairs of socks, and half her pants are too short, you write Madeline: Socks and pants on the list. If you are like me, it is also good to have boxes or bags handy, as you want to get the decluttered stuff out of the house as fast as possible.

Make Your own Household Cleaners
.
I was thrilled, a friend showed me several ways to make my own cleaners. Thanks Melitsa! These cleaners are biodegradable, made with less harsh chemicals (most you can eat!), and is a ton cheaper! I will definitely be making my own batches in the next week or two!

New to Essential Oils?
Ha! Me too…awhile ago.
It can be overwhelming with so many oils & choices.
This exclusive package {available for a limited time} gives you everything you need to get started and the information you need to know what to do!
As a Young Living Independent distributor, I started with their AMAZING starter kit & then added a few things I thought you might like…
…like a super huge essential oil information manual. I use mine ALL THE TIME. It is a place you can look up information about each oil individually or find information by looking up the problem you want to solve.
…like an Amazon gift card for $20! You can use it for additional resources or accessories OR just whatever you want!
…like membership in our group’s private FB community. This is a great place to ask questions, get suggestions and find out how other people are using their essential oils. As part of my team, you can also choose other groups like our business building or blogging communities as well.
