Hope this isn't annoying. ...

Troy and I just started a new business distributing Shaklee products. While I don't want to use this blog to regularly promote this (because that would be annoying!), I wanted to at least write a bit about what we're doing. Shaklee is a company that sells natural and organic products. While I never thought I'd want to sell this stuff myself, we were really impressed with the products once we used them.

For the past couple of years I've become more aware and concerned about toxins in the environment, and especially in our homes. We started using the Shaklee cleaning products because they are completely organic and non-toxic, especially important now that Ian is crawling all over the place and putting everything in his mouth. You buy the main cleaning solution (Basic H2) in a concentrated form for like 10 bucks, and it makes something like 48 gallons of cleaning solution . . . it's really amazing stuff. There is a whole line of cleaning products since there are harmful chemicals in everything from dish soap, laundry detergent, fabric softeners, and basically everything else we use to clean. You can buy individual products, or the entire line.

So, I'm not going to make a long sales pitch, but those of you who have kids, or who are getting ready to have kids, or those who don't want to inhale any more toxic chemicals from your cleaning products should take a look at our web site, http://canfield.myshaklee.com/us/en/whynow.html, and watch the short video (the statistic about stay at home moms having a 50% higher rate of death from cancer is quite frightening!!) . If you want more info, just ask. There are some great deals going on right now. We have a trial kit of the Get Clean line if you'd like to try the yourselves.

Just know that we NEVER would do something like this unless we truly believed in the products (like most of you, I hate it when people try to sell me stuff I don't need or want!!) They also offer vitamins and a line of baby items if you're interested.
Thanks for reading my spiel!!
