Big Big News!
Well my friends, I’ve been keeping a BIG secret and I’m ready to let you in on it today! I’m nervous and excited to share it with you – so nervous that I should probably sit down and you should too. (not really, I’m just being a touch dramatic)
Ready? I wrote a book. Like a real, hold in your hands BOOK! It will be in bookstores ALL OVER April 2014 – just a few short months away! I can’t even believe it myself. The book is titled: The Organically Clean Home: 150 Everyday Organic Cleaning Products You Can Make Yourself–The Natural, Chemical-Free Way and it will be published by Adams Media, a division of F+W Media.
To be honest, this whole process has been quite a whirlwind and it all happened so quickly, but it has been so, so great. I’ve always loved creating cleaning concoctions in my home and am continually looking for the best way to clean just about everything. I’ve pretty much spent the last few months as a cleaning product scientist and a homemaker – it has been amazing!
So I’ve been writing and writing and re-writing and now I can finally tell you a little bit about it. The The Organically Clean Home is all about natural cleaning – cleaning recipes, schedules, methods, tools, tips and tricks. It’s Clean Mama in a book. It’s the book I’ve always wanted to write – simple, helpful, and easy to access. I am so beyond excited! I’ll share more with you all in the coming months, when to pre-order, and all the other exciting details, but for right now I just HAD to tell you the news. And as always, a big THANK YOU goes out to you for reading here, trying my techniques, commenting, and supporting this little site of mine. I am grateful!
And in other news, I also thought that you might like to see what I really look like….since my likeness will be all over the place anyway I decided to come ‘clean’ with my picture and introduce myself.
Hi, I’m Becky. I like to clean. Nice to meet you!
So now you know – I do have a nose and mouth (unlike the icon you’ve envisioned me as)!
