Non-Toxic Home

How often do you think about the possible toxins that are built up in your home? Unfortunately most people don't think about the fact that their furniture, linens, cookware, clothing, children’s toys, the wall paint, the carpet, body care items and cleaning items are filled with dangerous chemicals, the list goes on and on. A few years ago we began looking at these items in our home which lead us to purge and replace our toxic items and products with healthier non-toxic ones.

Making these drastic changes gave us a much healthier home environment. For us it was all worth it because our health improved over time as a result of making these changes. Try not to feel overwhelmed — one thing at a time, one day at a time.
