I have been watching Hoarders on Amazon prime lately. I come from a long line of clutter bugs so I can relate to holding on to things you don’t really need. However I cannot relate to dirtiness being acceptable. In the global health crisis we find ourselves, we must do our part to keep things clean.
I am by no means an ideal housekeeper. However, there are surfaces in our homes that are cleaned daily and with products safe for our children and our waterways. How do we keep surfaces clean to avoid the spread of germs?
We use five main products in our cleaning routine:
We really love the Thieves Home Cleaning Kit as it comes with a high-quality stainless steel bucket, a recipe book for making a multitude of household cleaning products, five essential oils, thieves household cleaner and spray bottle. Though if you are brand new to YL, I suggest the Thieves Starter Kit

For cleaning the toilet of course we spray the outside surfaces with Thieves household cleaner and wipe it. the inside of the toilet we also spray and we scrub with a brush. Our water does tend to leave stains, so often times the kids prefer to shake baking soda mix with Thieves cleaner over spraying.

You're probably so excited about welcoming your baby into your home, if you're like most moms you're probably flipping through a few books, you've download some apps, and listening to your friend's and family's experience. You're probably doing your part to be a star patient for your doctor or midwife.I totally get that, and this is actually a problem because you're going to get you varied, sometimes conflicting advice that might not even work for your circumstance, and here is the kicker: lots of time's it not evidence-based guidance.
Instead of that, I want to offer you that working with a doula from your first trimester through your postpartum time is actually going to give you what you really need: cohesive information, expert guidance and the emotional support that every new mom deserves. It's like having an a doula in your pocket (or purse if that's where you keep your phone)
Hiring a Digital Doula is the best way to have a positive experience during your pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I would love to be your digital doula.
