Simple Steps to a Natural Lifestyle

October 13, 2020 by Jaimi Erickson 1 Comment

Ready to have the ENERGY to be the best mom you can be? Get started! Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome back! Did you already get started here?

It is not difficult to live a more natural lifestyle even with little kids at home. In fact, while they are little is the best time to start! It becomes second nature to our kids. What we live, they learn. These 3 simple steps to a natural lifestyle are the steps I took to keep my family healthy and maintain health balance at home.

Three simple steps to a natural lifestyle that you can do even with little kids at home. Anyone can follow these steps to live more naturally.

3 Simple Steps to a Natural Lifestyle

By educating yourself on the ingredients in products you can identify whether what you are using now is safe or not. My free download will help you simplifying the process of ditching the toxic products and switching to natural.

All of this can be done on any budget. It is perfect for helping us stay-at-home moms be the gatekeeper of our homes to protect what we love most.

Step 1: Read labels, Identify toxins

No doubt about it, we have to read some labels to know what ingredients are in our household products. This can be done more simply than you may think.

Grab my free download Toxin Checklist to make it easy. You can access it free when you subscribe to my email list.

DIY Toxin Checklist. Identify the toxins to live a more natural lifestyle with these simple steps to a natural lifestyle.

It lists the common toxins in our household and personal care products that are toxic to the body. We are using these items everyday: toothpaste, shampoo, lotions, face creams, household cleaners, etc, so going toxin free with each of these is so important.

You can look for ingredients like SLS, phthalates, parabens or fragrance. All are red flag ingredients. The term “natural” lies. It is a marketing ploy many times. It may have ingredients grown in the ground, but were their pesticides sprayed on them, were any synthetics created in a lab rather than real plants used? These are questions we need to know for long term health.

Thieves products help you eliminate toxic cleaning products easily to live a more natural lifestyle. Simple steps to a natural lifestyle.

The free toxin checklist makes it easy. Subscribe and access the toxin checklist and my full catalog of free gifts for email subscribers!

Step 2: Ditch the Toxins, Switch to Natural

There are verifiably natural products out there.

After you have read labels, identified products that contain the junk ingredients, you need to check sourcing. For any products that you feel are clean enough to keep, check the company’s website for where they source their ingredients.

Do they list where the farms are located or which countries they are in? Is the farm growing pesticide and herbicide free or are they just using the natural label to catch your attention?

This is why I buy as much as I can to stock our home from Young Living. They are the natural living easy route.

They source from farms, not labs. They oversee farming at each location so that no pesticides or herbicides are used. They use 3rd party testing to assure purity. They have budget friendly options for everyone.

Simple steps to a more natural lifestyle.

As the company with the largest catalog of research on natural wellness and essential oils, they have verified their commitment to sourcing properly, growing toxin-free, and providing the best natural products we can get our hands on.

That is what our families deserve.

Step 3: Join Young Living, account options for every budget

When you join Young living as a member or retail customer, you gain access to whole-home natural lifestyle simply and easily. Every product is toxin-free and sourced cleanly.

As a member you will receive a 24% discount on every item you buy. To receive this discount, you can choose one of the bundle starter kits to save even more than 24%. The Little Oilers Starter Kit is great for babies and kids. The Premium Starter Kit is the best option for whole-home, whole-family use.

Retail customers buy a la carte and do not get the discount. It is an option to buy one or two items now and then.

The Natural Living Easy Route helps you dive into products for each area of your home. This is a key to ditching the toxins and switching to natural. These simple steps to a more natural lifestyle are how we have maintained our health in my family.

My kids have not needed medications, antibiotics or any hospitalizations since we transformed our lifestyle to be more natural. I have been medication free after living with Crohns disease for 29 years. It has been 3 years since I have taken any prescriptions for it. That is true freedom!

This lifestyle has helped me regain my energy despite homeschooling 4 kids, parenting solo a lot with a military husband, and working at home writing this blog and educating friends about natural living. It can be your reality too!

So let’s join together to transform our homes, month by month, to be more toxin free.

Using the customized monthly wellness box you can set your budget, edit your order each month to receive only what you need to restock your home, and you earn points back on each order. Those points you can use like cash to buy natural products for free. It is how my family lives on one full time income and yet affords to buy Young Living.

The monthly wellness box is called Essential Rewards. You can use your starter kit as your first wellness box to start earning points back right away.

✌️ New motto. New mood. Let’s call this an i ✌️ New motto. New mood. Let’s call this an installment of things I learned in almost 40 years. 😅

Criticism is not something to deliver then cut and run. It only holds value in close relationships where a relationship will continue after the news is delivered. 

Criticism is thrown around like it costs nothing these days. Worse is when we deliver it and then bail on the receiver. 

I love teaching my kids life lessons in the moments where I hear them say something that catches my attention. Being present makes that so much easier. Especially teaching my girls how to navigate friendships with other girls is made easier with learning big lessons myself.

Loving people really does mean saying the nice things and when necessary saying the hard things...with full intent to be there to take the ramifications of delivering the truth and support the person through hearing it. 

If you find yourself delivering hard truth to friends but then ditching them to wrestle with the news alone, stop delivering truth. Truly. The love behind it disappears when we cut and run after. 

Love people. Without end. Especially during the pivotal tough points in relationships. 

Only the really good, long term relationships sprout from these interactions IF we stick around to build them through the tough moments. 💗 

Bless and release. All relationships benefit.

There are two worlds developing lately. Here in NC other than a wearing a mask now and then, life is pretty normal. This is our world. 

I am so thankful. Praying for normal to get back to your area soon. 💛 Life is better lived with others.

As far as our home and homeschool, 2021 has been a As far as our home and homeschool, 2021 has been a dream so far! 

Kids are eager to learn and ask for more, we have a system down, and I am even getting rest time in the evening after the kitchen is cleaned up. My husband and I get time together while the kids are still awake which is important for them to see. 

It has taken some realization of truth to create this peace and balance. Teaching my kids is a full time job. I am giving it that time this year and it is making all the difference. #shed #deadweightisgone #focusonthepresent #focusonfamily #thisismywork #homeschoolingmom #homeschoolingmama #homeschoolisafulltimejob #intentionalhomeschooling #intentionalmotherhood #intentionalmama #wifeandmother #homemakingmotivation #schoolathome #lifebalance
How long have you known your spouse? This guy an How long have you known your spouse? 

This guy and I met our senior year of high school. What a journey we were in for and did not ever realize! 

•4 kids + 1 miscarriage
•Navigating long distance relationship while dating, engaged and married
•Working to build faith as the center and focus of “us”
•Loving each other at our ugliest moments
•Building our home team for the long term

Every time the world feels heavy, chaotic, and strange, our marriage is a safe place. It makes our home calm amongst the storm of global politics. 

I have grown content with our imperfections- because there are much bigger problems to navigate in the world...am I right?! 😳

That brings me so much peace. 

Loving not only how well we work together but also the ways we still need to improve. That is where I am in my marriage. Grateful to have so much history with this guy. It fills my tank for all the years we have ahead of us to navigate as well.

It does not matter if you are a man or a woman, yo It does not matter if you are a man or a woman, you can not do it all well. 

Hi, my name is Jaimi and sometimes I deliver truth that cuts to the heart. 👌😉

Women have been fed a lie that they can and need to juggle it all. I have learned to juggle. Eventually balls fall. 

As I took on more because I was told all that mattered was my mindset, I inevitably had to set aside the tasks that God called me to do first. We never take on more and more and more and stay in balance without setting aside more than we should.

It is not a matter of mindset, it is a matter of priorities.

Have you heard of the “one thing every day”? Many make that a clean kitchen, workout completed or devotional time. My one this is my family. If I focus on them each day I feel successful. 

In my home there is peace. The world is in chaos, power has become currency, and morals have fallen away. But “me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

It has nothing to do with gender. No one can take on something new without setting aside something they were working on already. 

Peace and order in my home is worth it. I am setting aside the things that bring chaos into my life and home. I am only focusing on the things that serve God here. 

What have you done to focus on success with completing your priorities this year? Have you made small changes to get there or large leaps?

Today we took the Christmas decorations down. It m Today we took the Christmas decorations down. It marked the real start of 2021 for us. 

For some reason I am feeling ready for Spring cleaning. Funny enough, as I was cleaning out some flower pots that had gone a little stagnant over the colder weeks, I saw shoots! My plants think Spring is on its way-it has been warm here over the last few days. 

Being greeted by this view as we were piling into the van this morning, felt energizing. 

My steps heading in to 2021 are more careful, pragmatic. It feels good to feel on course, back to what matters most, and have zero guilt for what I will put on the back burner this year to stay focused on giving my family my best.

Anyone else having about 3 Christmases with shippi Anyone else having about 3 Christmases with shipping challenges delaying packages? 🤣🤣

With family all long distance + the twins birthday 2 days after Christmas we end up with about 4 gift opening sessions over the course of Christmas week. I see no complaints from these kids. 😆 

How did package shipping go for you this year? Do you plan ahead for shipping gifts? 

We are definitely grateful for giving family. #christmasweek #giftopening #givinggifts #moregifts #feelingloved #holiday2020 #familytime2020
