30 Days of Thankfulness ~ N is for Norwex & O is for Opals

I don't know about you but I just can't help but talk about things that I love to use and that make such a big impact on my quality of life. Norwex cloths are the best thing to happen to my cleaning routine since I became a mom and cleaning became overwhelming. The beauty of Norwex is that I buy next to no cleaning product for my home. I'm not kidding. I have my Young Living Thieves all purpose cleaner for when I have a particularly tough job (or I want the smell that tells me I have cleaned), but otherwise I have my trusty enviro cloth from Norwex paired with water and I can have all 4 bathrooms in my house cleaned in under an hour. If that isn't a time saver for a mom I don't know what is! Best part is I am not exposing any of my family to the nasty chemicals found in so many popular cleaning products. (By the way - I don't sell Norwex. I just love using it!)

The other thing I am thankful for is opals. It may seem a bit random, but the opal has special meaning to me. Opal would have been the birthstone for my baby Shiloh who was due in October. It is one of the few physical things I have that can remind me of that baby who I don't have here with me. I have an opal ring I wear from time to time so I can look down at my hand and think of my baby. I never really noticed opals before, but now that they represent someone so important to me I see them everywhere I look.
