Natural Year Challenge: Month Seven
We hope you're enjoying the momsAWARE Natural Year Challenge! It's never too late to join us on our 10-step journey to healthier, more natural living. Here are this month's topics:
- Natural Year Challenge: Household Edition
Remove Stains Naturally. This month we take on the "sticky" subject of stain removal. For those of us trying to steer clear of harsh chemicals, it can be daunting to tackle stubborn stains and spills. Our Month Seven Household Challenge offers several natural stain-removal tips, along with a helpful chemistry lesson and a pH chart showing the placement of natural products like hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, washing soda, and more. Guidance on treatment for specific stains will round out your stain-fighting arsenal! - Natural Year Challenge: Food Edition
Make a Vegetable Ferment. This month we offer a tutorial on making a vegetable ferment: specifically, sauerkraut. Don't miss our Month Seven Food Challenge, which includes a recipe, step-by-step instructions, and information on the many health benefits of fermented foods. A demonstration video by Andrea will help you take the probiotic plunge!
Toxic Mold: You Are Not Alone
Those who have experienced ill health due to toxic mold exposure often feel isolated, and even crazy. Toxic Mold: You Are Not Alone will assure you that many are struggling with feelings of isolation, desperation, desolation, and panic. We share excerpts of emails received in a three-week period in 2018 in hopes that, if you're dealing with a mold exposure, these will validate your own experience and help lessen your feelings of isolation.

Concerned About Mold?
Not sure where to begin when you suspect mold in your home, school, or workplace? ERMI testing analyzes dust samples to identify and quantify the mold species present, and it's a great way to begin an assessment of any indoor environment. momsAWARE is pleased to offer two levels of this laboratory testing through our Online Store. To learn more about the testing process, check out our article on How to Interpret ERMI or HERTSMI Mold Test Results.

All-Natural Pest Control
Insects and other uninvited pests are a time-consuming nuisance and may even present a risk to your health. The strong chemicals found in most commercial bug-killers and repellents may further compromise the safety of your environment. So how can you win the war against pests and still keep your family safe? See our Bug-Busting Bonanza for the four R's of natural pest control!
Natural Lawn Care
How can you care for your lawn without using harsh chemicals? Can how you mow and water make a difference? What are some natural alternatives for weed control? And are all weeds necessarily "bad"? Don't miss our article on Natural Lawn Care for numerous resources to help you maintain a safe, attractive lawn for your family's enjoyment!

Choosing a Mold Remediator
Tackling a serious mold issue yourself can often make matters worse, as opening up a wall without proper containment can easily exacerbate the problem. But finding a qualified mold remediator who understands the potential hazards of improper remediation can be difficult. See How to Choose a Mold Remediation Company for eight questions to ask before making a hiring decision.
