How to Create a Healthy and Hopeful Home: April 2023

ABOUT

This is a lunch event!

Have you ever stopped to consider that your home is a microbiome, just like your gut? And just like antibiotics should only be taken when your life is in danger, you should use antiseptics sparingly in your home.

How you parent your kiddos also play a tremendous role in how happy and hopeful your home is.

Join Mrs Martin and Ymke for this lunch where the chatter will be about friendly microbes and healthy cleaning. You might be inspired to clean differently. To include your kiddos. To think about your environment. And to have hope in the process.

Tickets are free. You will be asked to order a breakfast from the menu at your own cost.

Only ten seats available, so book now!

Who is Ymke?

Ymke is a Person Centered Wellness Counsellor and Parent Effectiveness Training instructor at Becoming Well Counselling.

She says,

'Apart from helping my clients rediscovering their authentic self and recharging their light, witnessing parents exchange guilt and stress for connection and joy is a passion. I love people, nature and animals. I live out on a plot in Boschkop with views that after 20 years still blow my mind.'

Who is Mrs Martin?

Lize is a South African wife and mother of three. She is also the strict tester of the soap on the Mrs Martin’s Microbes and More range. When she is not creating content for the soap business, she is helping kiddos develop language, because she is a qualified speech language pathologist.

She says:

'I am by nature (and exercise!) frugal. I LOVE saving because it makes me feel efficient. When I spend less than I should, and can do more than I planned, I am thrilled.

This is also the way I approach matters of the environment. I love feeling I send as little waste as possible into nature.

But it cannot cost me a lot. It has to save.

Why? Because I am not living on a homestead filling my day with tasks of survival, although that sounds so alluring.

I am the manager of a normal suburban household with ordinary responsibilities such as keeping the rubbish bin from rotting before rubbish removal day, squashing the pile of dishes… and laundry… and filing… again and again, all the while teaching, training, cleaning and delivering our darling children, producing three meals a day, cordially managing the stream of visitors and delivery men and reps, trying to keep a respectable garden, getting the broken water meter reported, and such.'
