Another #Norwex Believer!

By | | ,
1 Comment

This Guest Post was written by Ashley from Tales from Mommyhood. Very recently, I was introduced to the Norwex Company – right here on Multi-Testing Mommy! She was going to be hosting a twitter party for a friend of hers who is a Norwex Independent Consultant, Mandy Kuelz. I was very skeptical about the product – how can you clean with water and microfibre, and actually get a REAL CLEAN? I joined the twitter party, got the information, but I still didn’t believe. At the party, I happened to win a NorwexEnviro Cloth – I fully planned on using it once, and throwing it out (I don’t recommend this – when I told Mandy afterwards she laughed and begged me not to – if I wasn’t happy just return it to her!) When my Enviro cloth … Continue reading →

Even my friend, Canadian Dad admitted that there are Exceptions to Every Rule. He just shared a post about how his daughter influenced his decision about killing bugs.I am fully on board with what he talks about in his post. We should teach our children to be kind to all things, including bugs. This is very difficult for me considering I can’t stand bugs or any little, tiny creatures that roam around my house or yard. But, for the most part, they are harmless and in many cases, they actually do us some good. As Chris mentioned, I am fully … Continue reading →

This week, we are test driving a Ford Flex from Ford Canada. Thanks to the cooler in the middle row of the Ford Flex, I was able to transport the beautiful flowers that my amazing son gave me this weekend. The vase and the flowers fit perfectly into the cooler and even though we stopped for an hour break in the middle of our 4 hour drive, the cooler stayed fully chilled and my flowers were happy! Isn’t my son sweet?! He actually arrived home with flowers for me, his sister and his grandmother. He’s going to be a charmer, … Continue reading →
