A time of thanksgiving and the blessing of being a mom

Monday, November 10th, 2008

It’s hard to believe that it is almost Thanksgiving and soon Christmas.  It is one of my favorite times of the year.  I think about how blessed I am to be a mom of four adorable children and thank God for everything that He has given me. I am so thankful to be able to home school my children and work from home.  He has given me so wonderful customers as well and I am thankful to each one.

I make many friends through my business.  In the last two days I spoke to customers that are in the process of adopting or have adopted children recently. I hope to one day give children a home that do not have one as well.

Thank you to all my wonderful customers!  Enjoy this time of year with the ones you love.  God Bless you and your family.

Reducing the chance of SIDS by keeping the air cirulating

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

I have been reading numerous reports on SIDS recently and as I posted in my last blog, there are contributing factors to SIDS.

One concern is the baby mattress.  There are so many chemicals that come from your babies mattress unless it is actually made of organic cotton (or green cotton).  In addition to these chemicals, as babies receive vaccinations, their breathing can be slowed down while they are sleeping.  With the chemicals the baby is breathing in and a reduction in air, I believe this can certainly contribute to SIDS. My suggestion is to purchase a mattress without the chemicals in it.

Vaccinations are a family decision and I will never tell a parent not to vaccinate, but we chose not to vaccinate our children after doing research. I urge every parent to do the proper research and prayerfully consider the best decision.
In addition, I think it is important to have an Air Purifier in the babies room.  An air purifier will remove impurities in the air and also keep the air circulated.  This to me is very important.  A baby should also be breathing in the cleanest air possible.

We carry the Baby’s Breath Air Purifier and use this one here at home.  We also use the larger models in our home to clean the air of chemical pollutants.  If you are interested in purchasing other models, please let us know.
