Written by Stacy of A Delightful Home:

The fact that we live in a world full of chemicals, pesticides, and other harmful substances can’t be denied.

Sure, we strive to eat good food and use natural cleaners, but what do we do about the unclean air and the unhealthy things that have already made their way into our homes and bodies?

Stacy shares 5 simple ways to detoxify your home and body so you and your family can live the healthiest life possible (and they are not as crazy as you might think)!

This week’s post is brought to us by Rachel of day2day joys:

For you to be able to turn your car on, you must have gas in the tank, for you to turn on a light in your room, you must have a light bulb, for you to even use your iPhone or laptop to read this now, the power has to be turned on and your device must be charged.

And to turn things on correctly, you have to take care of them because if you don’t, eventually they will break or run out of power.

Well, your body, namely your spine isn’t any different. But the majority of people do not know this concept.

What does that mean to turn your power on anyway? Please hop on over to Rachel’s blog to read the rest!

Or, you may realize that you don’t eat as healthy as you could, and taking supplements may be a great way to give your body what it’s missing. In this post, Clarinda recommends which supplements you should be taking, and why. She also includes her quality brand recommendations.

 Welcome back to the Raising Healthy Families series! Join us each week as we take a look at different ways to keep your family healthy and vibrant in a not-so-healthy world.

This week’s post is brought to us by Beth Ricci of Red and Honey:

We spend an average of eight hours a night sleeping. That’s fifty-six hours per week, or about one third of your whole life. It’s even more for babies and children!

Logic would dictate that we would desire a healthy and toxin-free spot to rest our weary heads each night, but unfortunately that can be difficult to find.

Conventional mattresses (and even many labelled “organic” or “natural”) contain toxic flame-retardant chemicals that off-gas continuously. Since you are laying directly on it for eight hours every day, this is most definitely a problem. There are multiple links between the toxins found in our sleeping environments and many health issues that plague our society today, such as asthma, allergies, headaches, and SIDS, to name a few.

You may be wondering what can we do about it. Is it really so bad? What if I can’t afford an organic mattress? Our family recently took steps to make our sleeping environments safer.

Welcome to Raising Healthy Families – a fun and informative series designed to help you and your family thrive!

We look forward to seeing you next Friday as we launch this exciting new series! 

Ideally, I’d love to make all my own household products for cleaning, laundry, and dishes, but the reality is that I’m just not there yet. So I’ve found some more natural products that work well for me and that I feel good about using in my home.

1. Laundry Detergent:

Nellie’s NLS-100T All Natural Laundry soda, 100 Load Tin, NLS-100T

I love this laundry soda! For one thing, the packaging is super fun. It works great and a little goes a long way. It’s also HE certified so works well in HE washing machines. I’ve also read lots of positive reviews from cloth diapering moms.

2. Fabric Softener:

Ecover Ecological Fabric Softener Morning Fresh — 32 fl oz

I do make my own dryer sheets and use this fabric softener to do that. Since I only use a little at a time, it also lasts me for awhile.

3. Stain Remover:

Biokleen Bac-Out w/Foaming Action Sprayer 32 oz.

I’ve had great luck with using Biokleen as my stain remover and have had the same bottle for well over a year and still have lots left.

4. Dishwasher Detergent:

GrabGreen Automatic Dishwashing Detergent, Thyme with Fig Leaf

I tried several different natural dishwasher detergents and didn’t have much luck, but this one did the trick! I also really enjoy the thyme with fig leaf scent, although there are other options available. Only problem is, we just moved to a house without a dishwasher, so now I’m on the lookout for a good dish soap. Feel free to share if you’ve found any good ones!

I’ll keep updating this post as I find more products that I’ve had success with and please do share with me any of your favorites as well!
