Do you think about your Bone Health?

There are so many people suffering from bone loss as they get older and people don’t realize they need to make sure they  are supporting their bone health while they are young to prevent issues as they get older.

---

Most people think that bones are hard, lifeless parts of their bodies. Actually bones are living organs full of blood and cells that are an active part of our overall health. Far from static, our bones are constantly rebuilding themselves and growing stronger or weaker depending on how active we are and how well we are supplying the nutrients they need.

It is a fact of life that our bones lose minerals as we age. Bone loss starts around 30 years old. If left unchecked, bone loss can lead to osteoporosis, a disease in which the bones lose minerals such as calcium until they become fragile and break easily.

Bringing Home the Bling: 2014 Sochi Olympics

Our family followed the Olympics for the last few weeks and were so proud to be associated with a great company like Shaklee, who had  24 athletes, 10 of which won medals, choose Shaklee for their health and performance products. Safe, effective, and easily available to everyone, from regular people, to weekend worriers, to Olympic athletes is what makes Shaklee so great.

We have trusted the Shaklee products for the passed 15 years for our family and we have never been healthier. Shaklee is the number one Natural Nutrition Company in the United States.

Healthier Living with Non-toxic Cleaners

Did you know that when you have conventional cleaners in the house, you also have a Toxic Brew in the house? We know a lot of people who are having many health issues that are directly linked to the cleaners that are in their home. We started using all natural Shaklee Cleaners 15 years ago and our children are healthy and our one daughter doesn’t break out in a rash anymore.

One of our favorite cleaners is the Scour Off paste. It is great for cleaning ovens, stove tops, sinks, tubs, cookware, and it did wonders on this tea pot.

Our daughter Elisabeth, was always on the chubby side when she was young and she struggled with her weight for years as she realized she was heavier than most of the family and her friends.

Spring Cleaning Safely with Little Helpers

It’s that time of the year again when I get in the mood to thoroughly go through and clean out every section of the

house.I have a garage sale to help get rid of things we no longer need or want. I could just donate everything, but why not make some money and then donate what is left over. It is usually easier to get rid of something if you know you are going to get some money for it.

The Olympics are over but the adrenalin lives on. The USA rocked this summer didn’t they?

I’m usually not such a big fan of watching the game but hearing about the large number of athletes that are Shaklee users made me want to watch this year more that usual. At our Shaklee Global Conference in Las Vegas, we had a live feed to London with our Shaklee Olympians talking to us about

Shaklee Athletes to watch for in the Olympics!

Like us on Facebook now to receive updates on the Shaklee Olympian Athletes.

I am not much of a sports fan myself, but I do enjoy watching the Olympics with my family. Another thing I like about the Olympics is that is gets the whole world joined for some competition and fun.  Not only are the people together actually playing the games themselves, but they come alive in just about everyone’s house through the TV, computers, and now on the go everywhere, with smart phones, giving updates.

 


There are eight athletes that are a part of the Shaklee Pure Performance Team who have qualified for the Games in London. Let’s follow these athletes, and watch them bring home the GOLD!

Cleaning the Grill!

With grilling season approaching, I thought everyone would like to see how we clean our grill.

We got this grill at a garage sale this past summer for $20.00. The family that was selling it was putting in a built in grill along with a new brick patio. Our grill we had thrown out, because it was no longer working and rusted through. As you could see it was not looking too pretty, so we brought out our trusty cleaners and got to work. Look at the before picture. Yuck!

What we Eat in a Week

Our daughter, Bonnie, at House of Grace is hosting a link party for “What we Eat in a Week,'’  so I thought I would put together a list of what we (a family of 12) may eat for a week. This is a meal we had for our Christmas dinner. This was a special treat Doug's parent's bought for the family.

I wish I could tell you I have a weekly schedule, but I don’t. I do like to change up the type of food we are eating. Even if it is something we really like, we like to have a variety of foods.
