World Chocolate Day!

World Chocolate Day!
 
This is my kind of day! World Chocolate Day is July 7 and dedicated to appreciating one of the world’s, and my, most beloved treats. – chocolate!
It brings together chocolate aficionados, food enthusiasts, and industry professionals to share, celebrate, and indulge in various chocolate-themed events and festivities. I can go for that, can you?
In honor of World Chocolate Day, it only seems fair to make chocolate brownies. YUM!

Meet Traci Stensaas, a horse loving, homeschooling, boy mom.

 
Our family used to face constant bouts of illness. My son suffered from reactive airway disease as a toddler. Every passing bug knocked him down. We became well-acquainted with doctor visits and nebulizer treatments, trying anything to ease his breathing troubles. I believed that cleaning our home using store-bought cleaners was a good thing and that I was helping him get better.

Then I discovered the truth. Those chemicals were causing more harm than good. I found there were options that not only cleaned effectively but also boosted our health. I started with simple swaps. We all started a healing journey. The transformation was incredible. He is an athlete and has enjoyed all kinds of sports like football, basketball, cross country, track, and Taekwondo. We're all healthy, happy, and thankful for these positive changes.

I now support other moms and families in replacing toxic products with safe, clean options, one step at a time. If that's you, get in touch—I’d love to help.
