THE SHORT STORY

My husband has worked in the truck driving, laborer, heavy equipment industry but we have owned a precast concrete business for over 6 years now. He wants me to share this story with everyone as we understand working hard but now we work smart. We are blessed by my residual monthly retirement income that comes in month after month while I am with our children and supporting his dreams while he works and coaches. In the failing economy this sustained our income but MOST OF ALL gave us HOPE back!! My incredible team has taken the name of SmartVision Team and our mission statement is "Dedicated to working with clarity to educate sustainability for our planet and every individual we can reach." so If you have an open mind and want to open your eyes to this possibility pray about it and message me! I am all about helping in whatever way YOU need. Would Wal-mart do this for you??????

THE SHORT STORY I like to start out by telling a little story that will help you easily understand how our business works. If this story makes good sense to you, then you can succeed at our business. Okay, the story goes like this.... Let's say I own a store down the road from your Aunt Sally's house. My store has household products she normally buys at her grocery or department store such as her personal care items, over the counter medications, household cleaners, vitamins, health supplements, candles, make-up, hair care, laundry care, dieting aides, and many more. Let's say I make your Aunt Sally an offer. Aunt Sally can come into my store any time she wants to and pay the regular retail prices just like anybody else........BUT.......if she agrees to convert SOME of her regular monthly shopping to my store, instead of where she normally shops, I will consider her a preferred customer and give her wholesale prices on everything she buys here. Aunt Sally's regular store probably doesn't do that. Let's also say that Aunt Sally could try anything on my shelves and if she decided she didn't like an item, I would refund her money even two months after the purchase and even if she totally emptied the bottle! Her regular store probably doesn't do that either. And let's say that my products didn't have all the toxic chemicals like the store brands she normally uses that give her headaches, rashes, allergies, chronic illnesses, and poison her kids. They work better than what she's been using - with a difference that she not only notices, but won't stop raving about to everybody who will listen. I have only the highest quality products in my store. They are safer and healthier for her family, and they cost the same as or less than what she is paying for the toxic store brands that don't work as well. And her purchases are delivered right to her door so she never has to leave her couch, stand in a long line while dealing with tired kids, waste money on gas, or get her car dented in a parking lot! And one more thing......If she likes my store so much that she tells a friend to come shop here, I will give her a little thank-you check every time her friend ever buys a product from my store for the rest of her life. I only sold those products because your Aunt Sally referred a customer to my store, so she deserves a reward from me for her effort. If you refer a friend to your local grocery store, the store always sends you a check right? Well we do. Would it make sense for Aunt Sally to shop at my store? Would it make sense for her to also tell a friend or two about my store? As she shared this store with others, she'd end up with a nice monthly residual income and very grateful friends! That's exactly how our business works! You never take orders or sell products to your friends or handle their money or customer service. We are simply introducing people to this catalog shopping system where the customer orders better U.S. products from the company from their own catalog, and the company handles and keeps track of their orders and sends you a thank-you check for your referrals - month after month, year after year, as your friends continue purchasing products they love that are safer, higher quality, and often less expensive than what they are buying now. So do you think Walmart, Shopko, Target, K mart, ALCO or even Costco would do this? But I WILL!!! All the tools if you want to succeed with us are available to you.

The POWER of True Residual Income...thinking retirement

Just have to wonder how many people really understand what residual income means? (Clinging, left over, still rolling in, endless) Retirement is becoming a scary word in our economy so I have to blurb a passionate moment of mine..

DO NOT TAKE IT!!! Create for yourself an income somehow that will be with you to supplement that retirement fund! God helps those who help themselves. I know this to be true.

My residual income comes in month after month for the work I did once and I just keep adding my own raises...how cool! Solid and very comforting as we got ready for a BIG MOVE in 2012.

With 7 kids underfoot (literally, it is summer vacation) 2 to get ready for a new school and school year, 4 to be ready to home school and a 5 month old - I was ONE busy mama. Add to that was...
1)A traditional business - my hubby working it (I do paperwork & some labor) in 2 locations 500 to 700 miles apart.
2) Packing a household of nine and readying our house to rent or sell while he readied the extra lots to be sold.
3) Working my Plan B for retirement so that my check continues to grow and helps us be able to move.
All so that we can attain the things we want to accomplish in life. Have the ability to help out our parents and our children in the best ways possible financially. Our children work with us and contribute to the family business and attitude. I am proud of who they are becoming as themselves - I hope we are showing them not only how to work hard but how to work smarter! How to live life for today and prepare for tomorrow ...so that we can relax in our rocking chair years together.
I am so blessed to be able to have the ability to be home with my children and go to all their events while adding to our household income, not only today but for all those months in the future as well.
Best Wishes for you and yours today and always! And almost one year later (9 months), we have settled in nicely, achieved an award for being free of credit card debt, and are expecting our 8th child in July. ONE YEAR of work and dedication to goals we set! May you all be as blessed. I would love to hear from you. gailknerr@saferforyourhome.com or here

Safer sunscreens article

Before you start enjoying the summer sun which I desperately need...I thought some education may help the health of your loved ones and your skin! Be aware that different sunscreens work differently. Studies are proving that you want a mineral physical sunscreen (such as zinc oxide based) from a responsible company rather than a chemically reactive sunscreen which is what we have all used for years. I love my sunshades line because I can trust the best of business practices and a quality affordable product with proven scientific research behind it. I found this article and thought it has some valuable tips although the offered sunscreens are spendy, definitely worth your health to check out the information and avoid added toxins while you apply sunscreen.

TO THE HEALTH OF YOUR FAMILY!

Blogs, URLS, Feeds... Oh MY!

As scary to me as "Lions, Tigers, and Bears"! are these new and amazing things...
I spent many a frustrated moment trying to install one button on my blog... hahaha. Humility is a virtue and I must have needed some as I am not use to being stumped. I consider myself very well educated and fairly intelligent.

Therefore it is different to be reading English about blogs, url addresses, shortcuts, how to's of copy and pasting RSS 's and feeling like I am studying Greek.
(Which I have done and not felt as backwards.)Too funny!

Any of you in 'my' generation struggling with this learning curve?

I have to say that the term RSS endears itself to me as I can only think of "ROUS's" from The Princess Bride... can anyone translate that for me?
My children most definitely can. ;)
Ironic how childhood movies are imbedded into my day of computer technology just now.

For even One Person it is Worth Sharing -My Thanks!

(I was sharing my thankfulness with my tremendous team and decided to pass it on from my family to yours... anyone anytime may contact me for information. I look forward to visiting with you about overall health.  I do not sell anything, I merely offer free information.)


 Share this story... We are saving money and not supporting (China) Walmart products. We have eliminated our household personal care products bill.. My husband is NOW (with 2 years of toxin free household) Diabetes free, blood pressure back to normal, 100+ pounds lighter; full of energy & our marriage is improved. 


(There isn't even a pricetag we could place on this new life which we thankfully and humbly experience.) 


Financially, I have replaced my income and don't work at the Chiropractor office. My daughter is allergy free. My son is skin allergies free. (those two I attribute to safer laundry and dish products). I have no excema/psoriasis broken open itching and bleeding on my hands after a 3 year fight it took 3 days to heal __and I joyfully know others with similiar experiences. 
People spend at Costco, Walmart or the grocery store without comparing what they spend - we all need to actually look at our receipts and compare to that same natural product -challenge them to save all shopping receipts and compare 3 months of what they use to what safer better they should be buying. I don't need to convince anyone - SMART SHOPPERS get this!  (Sunshine emoticon) Plant and Water your personal garden by sharing it and send a Thank You note to those who support U.S. families & U.S. Manufacturing by shopping wiser.
I love to compare my buying to Costco because I like bulk buying deals and I love that I save on groceries with my Costco Wholesale membership but I save health, time, money and beat personal care product prices at Costco with better natural deals. WOW!
Educated Consumers are healthier happier people but we have to be honest with ourselves about our spending habits. Give yourself the information to develop better shopping habits. Affordability and safety equals VALUE. 

Sincerely,
Gail

No twins but one healthy baby and MAN AM I SLOW!

Well, I have been missing in action since January 15th. What a crazy life we lead....
To make a very long story short and to get back to important helpful news is my goal here.
We have a beautiful 7th child and are healthy after a surgical delivery. I will post a POST for viewers on that experience on another day. For now I will be happy to be back to blogging and try to resume some healthy and frugal tips on a weekly basis! Thank you for following my blog. If you are as interested in healthy living as I am we will make a fine fit!

TWINS! 2 to 4 weeks to prepare!

I found a blog to assist me in my nervousness about a natural twin delivery since we are probably being blessed with twins in a few short weeks!  If someone else can benefit I thought this would be so good to hear...

 http://5cheeryos.blogspot.com/2009/04/were-having-twins-now-what-help.html

Bless your heart for this blog! God knew I needed to find it. I am in my 35th week of pregnancy and found out Wednesday at my midwife appointment that we are 95% sure there are twins! I go this Wednesday for a comprehensive OB Ultrasound and meet the doctor....  Beginning points. I have had 6 healthy beautiful pregnancies and babies. The first two in a hospital and the last 4 at home with my dear certified midwife. I was devastated to learn I will not get to deliver at home and may not have much control. You have given me the book to read and more hope in my prayers. I keep trusting that God has given us this incredibly special gift and will guide me through it all... but hear so many 'policies' by the medical world that say otherwise. Thank You! Thank You! God is always so good to us and I am VERY healthy for almost term, but I appreciate tips from anyone, quickly. eek!  

A New Year with New Opportunities!

Happy 2012 beginning everyone!!

What an amazing time when we all think of where we have been and where we are heading! It can be scary and fun all at the same time. Our resolutions are in front of us as we try to improve our lifestyle, our health, our spiritual or mental well being... Everyone has had years when we remembered, followed through. . . and other years that we maybe regret not finishing our plans well.

Such is life!!

I would personally like to THANK each of you for somehow impacting my life and enriching my experience of knowing / meeting others. What a blessing! To know we are all so uniquely different and special in so many ways!

I would also like to offer to help in any way that I can to enhance your own life somehow.

We have been so encouraged by our 2011 family successes!

Our growth and our children's growth, my husband's complete health turn around, our approaching birth of baby, surviving another poor economic year and much more gave me much to learn and be thankful for.

I would like to offer freely any information that has helped us if you are looking for ways to benefit your family.

Maybe our experiences could be of use to you!

Seize the year for self improvement, most everyone has an experience we have not yet known.
