Shaklee Update

Living Naturally, Healthy, and Smart

As many of you know I am a Shaklee Distributor!

I LOVE their products from the Basic H2 Organic All Purpose Cleaner to the Awesome Laundry Detergent.

For a while I have had my own website for Shaklee but recently discontinued my site. I am STILL a distributor and I still use my Shaklee and really love to tell people how great these natural and safe products are.

However, if you want to order the Shaklee you still can!

There is a link on the right side bar of my blog you can click on to still shop for Shaklee products.

If you ever want to know how awesome these products are just ask! We love them!

Making a Small Difference

In my small little world I am trying to make a difference somewhere else in the world.

I am sure many of you have heard of TOMS Shoes but it is a fairly new product to me and I LOVE them!

If you haven't ever heard of them I encourage you to check out their website at http://www.toms.com/ to check out the shoes and the story that started it all!

I LOVE the idea that when I buy myself a pair of really comfortable shoes that a child somewhere in need of a pair of shoes will receive a pair for FREE! They also do the same thing for apparel and eye glasses!

My FIRST of many many many pair of TOMS

These are stonewashed black. I chose these because they will go with so many differnet outfits. I can't wait to pick out a few more!

I will be giving some TOMS for Christmas gifts because in the true spirit of giving, it really is the gift that keeps on giving.  I am super excited this year to be searching for products that make a difference - I can't wait to share some of the companies and gifts I have found with you.

There are baby TOMS, TOMS for Men, Wedges, and even glittery TOMS!

Back to School

School has already started for us! Can you believe this? Well we go year round so they get about 6 weeks off in the summer and then back to school in July we went!

I just can't believe it! Here they are getting all grown up and starting into 6th and 8th grade!

Leave it to my youngest to wear a flannel shirt back to school in July in Arizona!

Like so many other people in need so are our schools. It is sad, it is crazy, and honestly it makes me angry to think that our teachers and schools do not have the supplies they need to help our kids learn.

This year in addition to the tissues, paper towels, pencils, extra paper, markers, and pens I also decided to send some cleaning supplies. I know they normally ask for sanitizing wipes and cleaners because they need these basic supplies for their classrooms!

This year I discovered a great line of non-toxic cleaners that really have changed the way I clean, do laundry, as well as just live our lives.

I sent in the Shaklee Basic H2 Organic Cleaner for each of the teachers my kids have this year.  This bottle of Basic H2 Organic Cleaner will last your teachers for a very long time. I have been using the same size bottle for the last 6 months and I have only used 1/4 of the bottle.

The Basic H2 Organic Cleaner would be the donation that keeps giving to the teachers all year long!

Shaklee also has Get Clean Germ Off Fragrance Free Wipes which are great cleaning wipes and cleans off germs!

Since my kiddos are in P.E. this year and they wash their uniforms or athletic uniforms I have also decided to donate some of the Shaklee Fresh Laundry Detergent and Get Clean Soft Fabric Fragrance Free Sheets. I know these products are safe and do not leave any harmful residue on the clothes.

So as we gear up for your new school year - think about what you are going to donate to your school, your teachers, your kids school year!

Are you a teacher? Send me an email to codyhaley106@gmail.com and I will send you a free sample of Shaklee Basic H2 Organic Cleaner for your class reunion!

Where Have I Been?

Wow, life has been super busy! I have missed blogging (not sure anyone missed me blogging) but we have had a great deal going on the last 3 weeks!

My kiddos started school this week! I know what you are thinking July? Well they go to year round school so it was that time again to get started!

Work has been crazy, getting ready for the new school  year has been crazy, and I have been super tired from coming back from vacation - isn't that always how it is?

I am not sure I will be blogging each day but I hope to make it on 2-3 times a week. We are trying to simplify in our lives and part of that is me devoting more time away from the computer.

I wanted to share some pictures we had made while home on vacation. I hope you enjoy!

Isn't this ridiculous?

What would you do to stay cool?

I AM BACK!

So I have been absent for about 10 days! I know total blogging loser! But here is why!

We went home to Tennessee!!

I was able to pack both kids clothes for 10 days into each of their backpacks to save me $100 roundtrip because they carried them on!

Took our own snacks on the plane so we didn't have to buy the expensive ones in the airport or on the plane.

Getting excited to get on our first outbound plane!

Home in TN! So pretty and green!!

Haley even got to put pink streaks in her hair.

Hanging out with her cousin Anna!

Living it up on the playground!!

Cody too

Cody playing TN style!

And then just playing in Toys R Us

We had some pictures made while on vacation (more to come later!)

Just a little sneak peak

Went to my aunt and uncles lake house!

Is there any more fun?

Since we weren't in AZ we could have a fire to do smores.

Hanging out with cousins!

The perfect drink ever!

My cousin had this 3 person water balloon sling shot - it was the best thing ever! Here are the 3 most important men in my life! My dad, son, and hubby! They are trying to nail all the kids at the dock below!

And we had a lot of fun with these!

Cody, my sis, aunts, and uncle got in on the action!

We had a great time! A vacation really needed it was awesome! We also had our class reunion and celebrated our 15 year anniversary! I am sure I will post some more pics!

Missed my bloggy friends but boy I was busy!
