Just got a phone call from the Mom down the street 
I love that families on the block have gotten to know us well enough that they ask permission before giving our kids “stuff”. Sure, maybe some of them think I’m overprotective, but if you’ve ever watched your child suffer from anything (an allergic reaction, asthma, or seizures like our youngest) you know how I feel. Even the school nurse thinks I’m a little nuts!
The school nurse and many parents have asked me if I’m serious when I want to know what my child has been given to eat…even better if they ask before it is given. Really is one Chips Ahoy cookie, one popsicle brand popsicle, one bag of doritos going to hurt my children? Maybe not. Maybe so. What I do know is that the accumulative effect of all the chemicals in those foods can’t be good and if I don’t know what’s going in then I can’t be sure what’s going on with my child if they don’t feel good.
I know for absolute sure that dyes drive my younger one CRAZY! Too much junky carbs makes my older one CRANKY!
I also know that since eliminating most of these things, with the exception of an occasional birthday party or bbq, our children have not been sick. Not at all. Sure the sniffles for 24 hours, but not really sick. Do you know many families that have children ages 6 and 7 that haven’t been to the dr in 3 years? (Yes, we went to get the kids physicals for school and yes, they meet all criteria for “well” children.)
Our family loves to help other families experience this same joy of being well year round. Are you ready to work towards your child being the healthiest on the block?

You can see why our Mission began when you check out our story, but right now let’s talk about what Mission: Clean Kids is about.
Our kids are growing up in an over-processed and incredibly toxic world.
At Mission: Clean Kids you’ll find ways to help your children become the healthiest kids on the block, combat physical, learning and behavioral challenges they may be having and we’ll help YOU, the parent too!
Here are some tips to get started:
- Consume food and use products that are as close to nature as possible.
- Don’t diet, don’t let your children diet. Create a new lifestyle.
- Improve your life. One small healthy choice at a time.
- Don’t settle for less than you and your children deserve. We believe you deserve the BEST and we’ll help you get there. Feel Great. Improve Your Health. Maybe even work from home with us helping other parents and improve your finances!
What to do next?

We traveled this past week as a family, in a car, across the country. Believe it or not we still love each other, had NO fighting, minimal whining and lots of laughing. Even the dog came with us!
I firmly believe that one of the reasons we all stayed so cheerful is that we didn’t let our nutrition slide (too much). We weren’t perfect. We enjoyed wedding cake. We went out to the local ice cream shack. Ate too many carbs. Should have had more veggies. But overall we had a good time, avoided many food dyes, artificial sugars and didn’t need to stop at any drive thrus!
Here are two of our favorite snacks that kept us going through the long week:
Go Picnics are similar to a Lunchable, but without the chemicals, dyes and artificial “stuff”. The kids enjoyed the tattoos that came in the box too.
Hemp Bars satisfy the whole family with a great texture and aren’t messy like other bars. Did you know many mainstream granola bars have aspartame – we avoid aspartame whenever possible!

Let’s just get to the point. We need clean water. Bottled water isn’t always clean and it the packaging is polluting the earth. So what’s a family to do?
1. Install household reverse osmosis….yes, it’s on our family’s list of things to do.
2. Filter your current water to the best quality possible.
Thank goodness there is now a pitcher that can filter both lead and mercury out of our drinking water. If you’ve been reading Mission: Clean Kids for a while then you know that lead and mercury played a large role in our daughter’s medical issues (seizures). In addition, the Shaklee Get Clean water pitcher eliminates many environmental and industrial pollutants. Awesome!
So here’s the deal: You can get one year of clean water, PLUS 15% off all your future purchases from us/Shaklee for a lifetime for just $125 plus s/h/tax. Such a deal!!! That’s just .24 cents a gallon, plus a lifetime of savings and incredible drinking water.
Just as an added incentive…the first 10 families who purchase one year of water with their 15% off membership for a lifetime will receive 19 servings of Performance (our incredible hydration drink) in your choice of lemon-lime or orange. You’ll love the experience of clean water and quick hydration!
Pssst: I just ran a 5k yesterday in 90 degree heat with hills and reached my personal record time without any hydration issues….thanks to Performance.
HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ONE YEAR OF CLEAN WATER AND 15% FOR A LIFETIME WITH A BONUS PERFORMANCE: Call (815) 302-1273 or email catherine@missioncleankids.com to place your order.
