My Norwex Journey...

You know when you find something that you love, like REALLY get a kick out of it. Then you realise that this something is awesome and everyone needs to know about it?

Yeah, that's what happened with Norwex for me. And that's how I ended up adding a sales consultant (be real, that's what partyplans are) to my ever growing list of to do's.

I didn't join Norwex to sell it, or to force my thoughts on others, but truly to SHARE it.

If people don't know about Norwex, or know about the WHY of Norwex, how could you expect them to make their own informed decisions?

Information has always been key for me. In all aspects of life. I like the ins and outs, the hows whys whos before any decision is made. And because I like that, I enjoy giving that information.

A teacher at heart I guess. Or a perpetual student of life.... moving on.

Add to this that Norwex really is about reducing chemical impact in your life and in the world, and to use their catch phrase - creating safe havens for your family, reducing single use plastic and so forth....and well Norwex just 'fits' with me.

And so here I find myself, working just about full time in a pretty fast pace, high stress job that I love and moonlighting on the weekends as a cool, calm, collected Norwex Consultant, and still trying to fit all the Mum stuff in too!

Can't lie, I kinda love it.

Will share more Norwex awesomeness soon.

'twas the weekend before Christmas..

and the entire house was exhausted! I have resorted to what I call the 'cop out' of parenting...turning the TV on and leaving the child to be glued to it like a brainwashed robot. Why you ask? I is tired! and I have much to get through, and whilst I want my little guy to help me with all the fun stuff, the style of whinging that only comes from a nearly 2 year old is the very last thing I wish to experience today. The weather is dreary, again, which makes standard housework even more unappealing. Who wants to hang washing out when it isn't sunny and beautiful outside?! I have sneakily switched the channel to an animal doco, still enticing enough that the little person will let it capture his attention for a few minutes at a time (hello going to the toilet in peace!) but not enough to have him glued to it for the entire day. Perhaps after his nap I will put my responsible parent cap back on and turn the TV off.

Another Shopping / Pantry Tip

Whilst the shopping to a list and meal plan is the best way to save yourself money / time there is also another nifty tip that for me works well and go hand in hand with this process. I have certain grocery items that are just in the pantry - as I am sure we all do - sauce, dressing, mayo, plain crackers, pappadums, curry powder etc Rather than try and remember what you need each week / fortnight - attach a piece of paper to your fridge or your cupboard and when you run out of something whilst cooking write it down. Make the list a permanent fixture in your kitchen so this tiny tiny task also becomes a fixture.. you'll no longer have 3 bottles of tomato sauce and no BBQ. French dressing but not italian, curry powder but not mustard powder and all types of pasta instead of 5 packets of fettucine!!!

Be Kind To Yourself...

Sleep when the baby sleeps Eat to keep up your strength Make time for yourself Have someone else feed the baby so you can have a break You hear all of that and more when you're a new Mum, all of it with good intention however it often seems like hounding and honestly how many of us heed it? It all comes down to this... Be Kind to Yourself. Recently I have learnt from a medical professional how important it is to be kind to yourself. If you are not then you will suffer for it. Maybe not straight away, maybe not in a dramatic way but you will feel it. You may feel depressed, anxious, cranky. You may put on weight, your skin my appear dull & listless. No doubt you will be tired to the point of exhaustion. And you will say to yourself and others... I'm just tired, you know having a baby is tiring...or any excuse along those lines. Be Kind To Yourself and you WILL feel better. Get some sun - just 10 minutes in the morning before it gets too hot. Have your cup of t...
