the app that rocked our little world

Three years ago I was a proud Momma to a high spirited one year old & expecting our second daughter to grace us with her presence in just a short 2 months. I thought I was doing my best as a Momma & making the right choices for our family.

It was right at this time when I was introduced to the Think Dirty app & the EWG app. I was curious so I did what any curious mom would do and scanned every single baby item in our daughter’s bathroom and bedroom. I was shocked!

My husband was wondering why I was throwing out every single baby product in our home. He saw it as a waste at first, that was until I showed him what I discovered through those apps. He then saw what I saw in that trash can- poison!

That’s what sparked my interest in learning about toxin free products that serve as a way better alternative for our family. Ever since that day I have never looked back & am so proud at the baby steps we’ve made. The impact toxic products can have on our bodies is no joke. Discovering this app and the changes we made is a good reason for jumping on the bed!

Meet Brittany Weidlich

I'm a Mississippi momma to our three girls and wife to my Canadian hubby. I am a retired kindergarten teacher turned play enthusiast. After spending a few years in Canada we decided to return back to my roots in southern Mississippi where we enjoy the warm weather and views of the Gulf Coast.

Teaching is something I've always had a passion for and something I knew I was called to do. I love teaching but then I became a momma. I still remember that gut wrenching feeling of having to return to work following maternity leave after having our first daughter. I would pick her up from daycare just in time to cook dinner, feed her and put her to bed. This was our every day.

While pregnant with our second daughter I discovered I had high grade cells on my cervix which had the potential to turn into cancer if not removed. I had no clue that it mattered what products or chemicals I was putting on my body, more importantly what I was putting on our children's bodies. It was during this moment that a kindergarten parent introduced me to something that would help us in all the areas that I didn't yet know we needed. I know I cannot protect our children from everything, but at least by using these natural products she introduced us to, I am no longer being tricked by false marketing and am doing my best as a mother. I now feel assured that I am using safe, toxin free products on my family and in our home. I am even more excited about the fact that I get to help teach and empower other families about toxin free products.

How can I not feel excited about the chance to teach others by sharing what we are passionate about and what works for our family. This means I get to be a momma first, enjoying all the small and big moments with our three daughters as we empower other families to take a closer look at what's in their cabinets one step at a time.
