Jody Lundie  - Wentworth, SD
Kids Need Us – founder

In 1991, I made the decision to change our every day household products to SAFER products.  We began to use products that were FREE from HARSH CHEMICALS. We found, just a few simple steps made a big difference to my family.

As a child, each winter I would come down with  tonsillitis once a month for 3 months. My parents had a pink bottle of an antibiotic in our refrigerator all winter long. When our older boys, Jeremiah and Jacob…now 23 and 21 were little tikes…. they too followed their mother’s health habits. We also had pink antibiotics in our refrigerator all winter long   treating continued bouts of strep throat.

Our youngest son Murphy was two years old when we made the switch to products that did not contain harsh chemicals. We do not use caustic chemical laundry soaps. We do not clean with plastic bottles full of hydrochloric acid, or soaps with lye and fillers. Murphy now 14 has only been prescribed an antibiotic twice! He tells me it’s embarrassing when asked, “Who is your family doctor?” and our answer is …..  We don’t have one!

We believe harsh chemicals may cause our immune systems to weaken. Weakened immune systems gives us a greater chance for illness.

The story above is just ONE of the many stories that I could share. And ..if you would ask me to tell you more…I would go on for hours.

It’s been amazing for me to see all the wonderful results people were experiencing, by making simple changes in their buying habits. By just replacing chemical loaded products with products made from natural and non-caustic ingredients… my friends and family members had healthier homes. Over the last 10 years I have become a believer in Health and Nutrition. I have researched many companies and worked with several.

Here is what I finally came up with. A company that manufactures high quality products that EVERYONE uses everyday at GREAT PRICES!! A company who offers a referral reward system for sharing good information to people. Not only could folks receive all the benefits of switching stores…. if they decided to share what they were doing with others…they would receive financial benefits. It’s awesome!

I can truly say…..”I finally found something that really “fits” for me!” Let me tell you why.

My husband, Jack and I have spent years in the retail business, living within the guidelines of mall hours. To translate…60 hours a week! After breaking loose from the captivity of retail hours and the stress of being business owners, WE TRIED EVERYTHING!  We have owned a wholesale/retail business, we worked with several direct sales companies …selling everything from commercial ovens, to cell phones, personalized children’s books, to name a few. We ventured into several MLM companies. You name it, we tried it….. until we were broke and almost broken! VERY CLOSE TO BANKRUPTCY!

In November of 2000, I decided to follow my heart and do something that I was passionate about.

Enhancing lives by helping people understand how simple changes they could make in their homes would result in healthier families and safer homes. I was so tired of trying to sell “stuff” or better then that…SELL THE DREAM! 
I needed something that I could get passionate about. I needed to work with a company who had great values, integrity and truly had the customer’s best interest in mind. And…I found it.

I have been working side by side with my husband Jack ….for the last two years. We have studied and researched many areas dealing with health and wellness. We have shared this information across the Midwest. It has been a very rewarding experience.

Now I help educate people…especially MOMS. I show moms how they can maintain safe healthy homes. I help moms who want to stay at home but also earn an income. Its’ great to see moms feeling good about themselves.

I now have the freedom to set my own schedule. I sit on the bleachers during football games played at 4:00 in the afternoon. Jack and I have traveled to Australia, Africa, and cruised the Caribbean last winter for 7 days…taking our son Murphy with us.  I can schedule a day off …anytime any week. I have fun when I work and I have fun when I don’t. The rewards and benefits are awesome!

I have a strong desire to help others. It’s been fun for me to find something that I have a passion for. It really does feel good to work hard helping others while helping myself. 

It’s seems like we just can’t get the information out to enough people. That is why I decided to ask several moms to team up with me….start a website and spread the word.

We have a GREAT MISSION. We could use some HELP. For your help we promise to return to you healthier living…safer homes and income rewards for sharing! Please consider reading all the stories, take a minute to request more information…and let us tell you how together we can make a difference…and HAVE IT ALL! 

We think you will like what you see and hear.

Retired School Teacher and "Neena" to two beautiful granddaughters

As a retired school teacher, I was probably the most skeptical person that the Lundies visited with. When Jody called me about trying her products, I was sure "products are just products".   I agreed to see a presentation, although I was sure I wouldn't be interested. I was sure they were going to try to get me to be a distributor for something or to make a large investment or to stock my shelves with a bunch of inventory.

However, I was amazed to find out that all they really wanted me to do was try some products.  No one was asking me to sell anything or make any large investment or anything like that!  It was as though my "imaginary company" just might exist.

Although I had enrolled in November of 2000 and ordered my first products, I was still sure I'd never share this with anyone.  However, it didn't take long before I knew these products really are exceptional.....and I knew other people needed to know, too. Little did we know that one of the fringe benefits would be my husband, Larry, getting rid of his headaches. No more harsh chemicals in the home and his headaches were going away! 

It was the love of these products that made me realize that I wanted to begin working this as a home based business.  I had finally found a company I could trust.

My "why" was huge.  After taking early retirement from teaching to work at home, it seemed as though the bills kept getting bigger, and I wasn't finding anything to help pay them off. I tried several companies.  I had some success, but in the end, most of the companies failed me.  My belief that there could be an ethical company with high standards with "long-lasting power" had slipped into the back burner along with my dreams. 

I just want you to know my dreams are on the front burner again.  The flames are burning high along with my desire for us to be debt free, to be able to bless others, and to give to the Kingdom of God. 

I have found that ethical company with high standards and with "long-lasting power".  I have found the company that has products that will enhance the lives of everyone who uses them.  No hype, no phoniness, no selling, no loss of money......a company that truly believes in helping people reach their goals...whether the goals are to earn a little extra money, a lot of money, or most important....to have products that will enhance the lives of your loved ones.  

If you're like my husband, Larry, and me....we've decided we want to live a long, long time and enjoy our grandchildren growing up.  And we want to be financially able to enjoy those years.  

I am so thankful that we found the company that is enabling us to do both!

My name is Carrie Alm.  I’m a 43 year old diabetic. I have had diabetes for 19 years.  One of the complications of diabetes is leg ulcers.  Healing is very difficult due to the poor circulation that often accompanies diabetes.  I have had open sores on my right leg, on and off, for more than 10 years.  I have had 6 skin grafting surgeries on my leg to cover open wounds, which required lots of “down” time.  But my leg continued to break down with open wounds.  I spent over a year doing pulsavac treatment, sometimes daily. We would get one spot to heal and another would open up.

My husband and I enrolled as customers with a great company in April of 2001. We felt we could save money on household products and supplements that we already using.  I heard about the benefits of these products at a wellness presentation we attended. After trying the products, I continued to read the information on all the products.  I found one product that I thought may be beneficial to my condition, but I was still skeptical. 

After everything I had been through with my leg I was scared to try anything else.  Besides, the product cost $10 for an ounce.  Then my blonde brain remembered that this company guarantees their products 100% and if it worked my leg was definitely worth $10. If it didn’t work I wasn’t out anything!

I checked with the physical therapist that was doing my treatments and she was beyond skeptical. She suggested I try it on only a small portion of my leg at first, which I did.  Within the first week it was obvious that the part of my leg I was treating with this product, was healing much faster than the other part. It was also restoring skin tone to the scarred portion of my leg from the surgeries.  The physical therapist called it my voodoo medicine.  I, for the first time in over 2 years, have no open sores on my leg, which means I get to keep it longer.I am now using products from this company to keep my leg moisturized and conditioned.  I am looking forward to a long, long life with 2 legs to enjoy it with.  I would be happy to discuss my condition with anyone who is interested.  My phone number is 605-673-3296.

Rick’s Story:

Hi, I am Rick Alm.  As my wife, Carrie, had said, we enrolled with this company as customers because of the savings available on products we already used.  I faithfully use a glucosamine product from this company and will never go back to any other. I have also become a firm believer in many of the other products of this company but would like to tell you about one in particular. I am a plumber and because of my profession, my hands take a beating.  The winter months are exceptional bad and I often had severely dry hands, to the point of cracking and bleeding.  Being “a guy”, I had definite problem with those nice smelling hand lotions that left my hands feeling slimy.

Last winter was no exception, my hands were in horrible shape, with skin so tight and cracking & bleeding.  It was down right painful.  Carrie kept saying I should try the skin therapy lotion made by this company but I resisted her pressure for weeks.  Finally, and only to get her to stop “nagging”, I used some.  I was very surprised; my hands were not slimy and didn’t smell like a flower factory.  They also didn’t hurt so much.  I was even more surprised and thrilled that in a matter of only a couple of days the cracks were healing.  I have not had any further “hand” problems as I continue to use this lotion.

Let us tell you more!

My husband and I were invited to a Wellness Seminar in March 2001. We are very thankful we went that night, as it’s changed our lives. We opened our account as a customer and decided to try the products.

We fell in love with the products immediately and I started to see great RESULTS!

At this time I was working as a Pension Administrator, 60-65 hours a week. We have 2 sons, now age 22 and 17. We always have spent as much time as we could with them, as we know sooner or later they would be going out on their own. The first month, after I had converted our home to products which were free from harsh chemicals,  I shared what I was doing with my friends, family members and co-workers. They also could see they needed to make changes in their buying habits. Many converted their homes to safer, healthier products also.

In just 30 days we were seeing incredible results with our family members. RC our oldest son, had suffered with Atopic Dermatitis since he was 9 months old. Atopic dermatitis is a skin condition that leaves the skin looking just like fish skin!  We spent many trips to the dermatologist, trying to find something for relief. When he was 3 months old, we started “Crisco” baths.  We would bath RC in warm water. After removing him from the bathtub, we would rub “Crisco” all over his body, dress him in wet warm pj’s and wrap him in towels. He would then sit for 30 minutes. We did the treatment every day or every other day…for years.  By time RC turned age 5, we gave up. Nothing worked.

It is almost unbelievable to think that simple changes in our laundry products and our bath and body products changed RC’s skin condition within 30 days. Twenty two years of a skin condition that changed in 30 days.

I wish someone had opened my eyes years ago to the affects chemicals and harsh ingredients have on our health. I was so excited and also hooked, not only on the products but the awesome way this company rewarded me for sharing a good thing with my friends. I had to tell everyone!

I started receiving calls from friends sharing with me with all the great results they were having with the product line that I had introduced to them.

Patty Seeman’s skin condition was healing.  I was able to share with a good friend how to switch his child from the amphetamine Ritalin which his son was taking to a nutritional supplement, with no side effects. His grades increased one grade level in 3 months. And…he felt GREAT!!!

I had to take a look at what was happening as I was now earning almost as much as I was earning at my full time job and having fun!  Suggesting great products is a lot less stressful!

I had to look closer at what this company was all about. Jack and Jody Lundie sat down with me and made me take a closer look. They shared how this company had a 96% reorder rate. This meant most of those customers that I had introduced to a way to make their homes a healthier, safer environment would be reordering the next month!

I believed Jack and Jody… as I could see after trying these products …everyone would want to continue to order the products.

I love it! All my customers now order their own products each and every month. I don’t order or deliver anyone products. It’s simple.

I have now quit my full time job. No more alarm clocks!

My next goal is for my husband, Richard to be able to retire from his job. He has worked daily with chemicals for eleven years. I know this is not good for his health.

Having a business out of my home has allowed our family so many opportunities.

We have taken family vacations, which will give us memories forever. 

When our son, RC, moved out of our house and into his own home, we were able to surprise him with gifts.

We spend many days at golf tournaments with our 17year old son Matt. He’s so good he just might be the next Tiger Woods.

The rewards are AWESOME!!

I have tried working several home based businesses…. mostly MLM companies.

I had to invest hundreds if not thousands of dollars in start up costs, tapes, tools and supplies.  This company does not have requirements as such.

I’m with the “Motivated Moms” making a difference. We are helping people maintain healthier, safer homes. We excited to use the “Kids Need Us” website to help us spread the word.

My goal is get our family out of debt and help others do the same for their families.

Over the last several years as a Registered Dietitian, I have helped many of my clientele with weight-related issues.  As my business, Nutriquette, expanded, I was forced into a situation that I never anticipated.  My daughter, Rori, then 9 months old, violently reacted to a common bathroom cleaner.  After the initial shock wore off, my husband introduced me to the world of chemical free, non-caustic cleaners.  As we slowly incorporated these products into our home, I noticed several things.  First, and most important, Rori didn’t react as she crawled her way all over our home.  Also, my own allergies were starting to lessen.  This was great!   I also noticed that these new cleaners were actually cleaning better then those products I grew up with.  That was such a surprise!  Therefore, as I was saving money on household products, and getting my home cleaner, I began to spread the word.  There is an affordable alternative out there!

I am so excited to be part of this team. We are “Motivated to Make a Difference”! Take a look!

In health,

ASK US HOW?

“Mommy with a Mission" that’s me!!!

My start with a "business out of my home" was one that I wasn't all that excited about at the time.  I had just had my second daughter Somer, now 22 months, and was busy with my older daughter Brooke, now 4.   I was a teacher and was taking my girls to daycare and hearing them ask me if they could stay home with me all the time.  I thought, "this dream I have to raise our own girls will never come true", "there has to be a way for me to follow what my heart is telling me to do".   I thought  "this company" was another one of those "things." 

If I had not opened my mind just a little bit when my husband Lance was asking me to at least hear what Jack and Jody Lundie have to say, I can honestly say, my dream would have been a lot farther off than I would have wanted.  My girls would probably have gone through school by that time! 

I reluctantly listened to the presentation and was instantly intrigued by what I'd learned about the chemical free products and learned that our home was one that was unsafe, unhealthy, and just plain scary!! 

I decided to at least convert my home over to these awesome products.

I tried the products and fell in love with them instantly!!!  Believe me, I tried to find something wrong with them!  They worked better and we all felt better after having been on the nutritional pack.  I have yet to find a product I don't like!!

Using the products was something I did and totally believed in and I thought, "I want other moms and families to know about this".  "They have to know!"  I started making some referrals and getting some customers, and thought, "this is pretty easy!"  I felt totally comfortable telling people how they can become healthier, and not lose money

I decided to take a closer look at the company from a business standpoint.  My mother-in-law, Cherry Luitjens, who was enrolled by Jack and Jody, had already begun to see the big picture and was doing well with the company.  She saw my burning desire to be with our girls.  I came home from daycare one day with tears in my eyes saying, "I just can't do this!"  Cherry was there and we were sitting on the couch, and I said, "Do you really think I can do this?"  She said, "I don't know, but we can sure give it our best shot!"  So with tons of love, support and help from Cherry, Lance and I together made the decision to go after our dream.  Still working as a teacher, we kept consistently bringing in customers and building our contact lists.  With this awesome company and the leaders that they have involved in this company, it was fun and inspiring to keep going!!

In July of 2001, I was able to turn in my resignation at the Vermillion School District and be at home taking care of my family!!   Our family is healthier and we have a much safer home, but its so much more than that.  I am a better wife and a better mom because I have a more flexible schedule and love what I'm doing.  I've also found it a blessing to be able to share something so wonderful with other people so that they can catch their dreams too.

Most of all I thank the Lord for bringing this wonderful shopping system and company into my life so I can catch mine!! 

Take a look- catch your dreams!!

Hi all, I'm Patty Seeman. I would to love share a story of what has happened to me that changed my life for the better.  I am extremely allergic to the sun and have suffered so severely from the sun that every time I went to the doctor they test me for lupus, which is very frightening.

I found a God-send through a great friend. Let me tell you...at first I was skeptical to try anything...as I have been suffering for 10 years trying numerous products.

My friend, Bertie was insistent that I just give a product that she had been introduced to a try. The product had healing properties and Bertie just knew it would help me.

Just to make her happy I gave it a try. Much to my surprise...it worked.  My suffering was literally gone, 10 years of suffering - WHAT A WONDERFUL BLESSING - !!!!

Our youngest son was born asthmatic and now at 24 he was using his inhaler (Albuteron) every 10 days, which is much too often. I converted our home to better...safer products that are non- caustic, changed my laundry pack, no plug-ins, etc. and he is using his inhaler only every 5-6 weeks!!! TOTALLY WONDERFUL!!!!

I am on a mission to inform everyone that I possibly can about the benefits of using products free from harmful chemicals. Plus.. the many benefits of some…great specialized  products.

I know in my heart that when a new customers starts using these products, they will end up converting their entire home over to the complete product line .... and will be customers for life.

Our team of, “Motivated Moms” have found an awesome company that has our best interest in mind. We now use awesome products that are so much better than anything on the market. I will be a customer for life.

Thank you Bertie for sharing...!!!! THANKS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!!!

Everyone owes it to their family and themselves to find out more! We are “Motivated Moms Making a Difference”.

I was very fortunate a few months ago to get invited to a Health & Wellness seminar.  The information was great and I decided to try some products.  About the end of May I tried the Vitamin and Mineral product offered by this company.  They tell you if you don’t have more energy and feel better in 90 days they will refund the entire purchase price.  In about a week I noticed a difference and in a month I was feeling 15 years younger.    I can’t describe how wonderful it feels to get up in the morning and have lots of energy.  I need to say that I’ve been a regular vitamin taker for years.   My daughter said she realized how well the vitamins were working for me when she called me, it was 95 degrees outside (I hate the heat) and I was merrily painting one of the bedrooms.  My family, friends and coworkers have all noticed my increased energy.   I am so sold on the company, I also decided to get all of the caustic cleaners out of my home and replaced them with the wonderful safe, chemical free products also manufactured by the same company.

Moms need all the help they can get in today’s fast paced world.  They wear many, many hats.  These vitamins will give them the energy to keep up with the demands of their world.  I also want this world to be a better place for my grandchildren.  We can only do that by eliminating the dangerous, caustic chemicals currently being used in our homes in our cleaning products.   I know now that any child can come into my home and if Mom and I are busy visiting, anything they get into under my sinks will not be harmful to them.  I no longer have any of those harsh chemicals in MY house. 

I’m so excited about the Motivated Moms team.  I don’t have time to write to all my friends and family to share the information about making the world a better place.  This will allow me to easily share what I’ve learned about making our bodies healthier and our homes safer for all of us.  With the help of the Motivated Moms team, we can carry this message to the whole country.

This past spring, I started my husband, Larry, on the health package that I had learned about through the health and wellness seminar I went to.   He began to feel better than he has felt in years.  He's 60 years old and says,  "I feel like I’m 40!"   He's back on his Bow-flex, exercising and walking again.  The pounds started falling off…..He's lost over 30 pounds now, but more importantly, his body fat dropped from the obese range to 16.5%......and now he's down to14%!

 He gives credit to the "health package" I put him on..….and also to the fat conversion bars.  He spent 4 hours with the inventor of the product.  Larry found out the inventor had to prove that it does what it says in order to get a patent on it.  It’s not just another energy bar (most of them are like a candy bar that gives a temporary sugar high). 

Whether you’re an athlete, a coach, a parent, or someone who just wants to be healthy, this company has what you’re looking for.   I’ve tried a lot of things over the years, but there is absolutely nothing as good as these products.  Believe me! Believe my Larry when he says,  "It’s wonderful to feel this young at 60 years old!!"
