Now the icky oven! Nope never cleaned it! YUCK! I can't believe I cook in this thing now that I take pictures and after I clean it, I'm almost embarrassed! OH WELL!:) More inspiration and it gives me a peace of mind to know my kitchen and life is being cleaned with Shaklee!!!!

Here is the nasty oven!


The inside guts!hahaha kidding



Scour off is amazing I just rubbed it on with a cloth and then with another damp cloth started cleaning, I spent a good 15mins on this sucker! And man am I happy I did!!

TaDa!!!
A New Oven..

A Clean Kitchen





Ok so I LOVE a clean kitchen! So I got a new Kitchen Aid and was excited to bake, so the next thing I know I'm whipping out my new Scour Off and getting my kitchen whipped in shape! Scour off is becoming one of my favorite cleaning products..


First thing first, I cleaned the sink! I know you are going to think I have a dirty house or think Gross when you look at the before pics! BUT I swear I have a clean house!:)





                                                       You can see the water spots!!

So this is the great stuff about Scour Off
Natural ingredients remove the toughest dried-on splatters and spills, burned-on grease, baked-on food, and sticky messes without hazardous chemicals or toxic fumes.




  • Scour Off is made from natural mineral abrasives and biodegradable cleaning agents. It does not contain chlorine, bleach, or dye.













  • Scour Off gently removes stains other cleansers can't and is great for cleaning tubs, ovens, sinks, and tiles.













  • It will even remove rust, and is great for cleaning these surfaces: copper, grout, cement, ceramic, and imitation marble.













  • Wide-mouth jar makes it easy to use









  • And the After!!!



    So Sparkly

    Do you like a clean kitchen?
    What products do you use to clean you sink with?
    ON TO THE OVEN! YIKES:)

    Have a Great Day!

    Lunch for our Men!



    Hello there! So my hubby and I are on a budget and that means momma gets to pack the lunches again:)!!
    We know our men like big hearty, yet healthy lunches so, I'm going to share with you what I pack for my hunk!:)
    So my fist meal I'm going to share is the Super Burritos! I love making them in bulk and freezing them.
    I start by making my pinto beans in a crockpot over night I always make alot and freeze them in smaller baggies, for anytime I need them.



    I use Cream Cheese, Beans, Sour Cream( not always), Onions, and Ground Beef or Deer Meat:)..
    Sometimes I add Green chilies, and Olives and shredded Cheese.
    If I make them for that night I would make 5-10 extra to freeze. For dinner I put avocado and tomatoes on the top with fresh cilantro. YUM!



    Big Tortilla shells! I prefer Wheat they are better for you but the hunk wants Flour:)



    And there you have it our super Burrito for dinner and the rest in the freezer for Lunches!


    The Hunk is happy and the next day or later this week it will be a great lunch that will fill him up!!

     Yum! I like a little jalapeno with mine:)

    What do you make for your hunks lunches?
    Please share your thoughts!:)

    Enjoy~

    How Safe is Your Home?


    How Safe is Your Home?


    Does your home contain products that contain sodium hydroxide, phenol, ammonia or formaldehyde? Do you have children and pets that are breathing in these?


    Some of these and more may be toxic, even deadly and in your HOME! Do you feel safe letting your baby crawl across your floor and play? Or put toys in their mouths? After reading this I am so glad we Shakleeized our home. I am so glad I boxed up all of our hold stuff and we are now Shaklee friendly. And I have to say...I LOVE everything!!!

    The Sweet Things In Life

    For all those sweet girls out there waiting and wishing for a man to come into your life.. Always stick to your values and standards and don't ever waiver:) I had high standards and I found the love of my life 4 years ago! He is my darling love, and I'm soo overly blessed to have him for a husband. The Lord is good to me, when I put my faith and everything into him he sure takes care of me! Just to share alittle tiny bit of what my husband does for me.

    This is what I woke up to this morning!!!
    
    And then some warm yummy coffee! What a treat! I cherish those times so much! It takes alot for a man to go out of his way to do such sweet things, although that is just what I think:) So I'm so thankful to have a man that does little things like this just out of no where:)... So keep your heads up girls their is someone out there for you, and it happens when you least expect it!


        Have a Blessed day!!!

     We had alot of fun little things going on!




    Our wonderful beauty products 



     We had a gift basket to raffle off! We did some Shaklee product bottles, Basic H, some Scour off, and some other really fun stuff!!



     ALOT of people filled out our little information sheet!



     Our VIVIX was a hit lots of questions about that!



    Thanks to Erin over at Healthybranscom making your own baby wipes where a hit!



    We have alot of people to follow up with and I'm amazed at how many people don't know about SHAKLEE! Can't wait until our next one!
