Hey there! I’m Jana. Welcome to my digital notebook.

I am a regular, working mom trying to survive the daily chaos of raising two early-teenage student-athletes. If your life looks anything like mine, your weeks are a blur of gym bags, muddy cleats, carpools, and driving to practices. My weekends are spent sitting on a folding lawn chair on the sidelines of sports tournaments, wondering what I’m going to throw together for dinner.

Because our schedule is so intense, I became an expert online shopper. Amazon Subscribe & Save became my absolute lifeline for keeping our pantry stocked, our laundry room running, and our sports gear packed.

Why I Started This Site

I have always been health-conscious and tried to make good choices for my kids. But as I started diving deeper into modern packaging, I found myself completely overwhelmed. Reading ingredient lists to avoid hidden toxins takes an incredible amount of time, and grocery store advertising is deeply misleading.

I quickly realized that trying to clean up your home can feel like a full-time job. I didn’t want to rely on slick marketing or loud social media headlines, so I started looking up actual toxicology data, environmental reports, and independent agricultural studies myself.

I needed a pragmatic, realistic approach. I wanted to protect my teenagers’ cellular health, development, and athletic recovery without losing our daily convenience.

So, I started testing out alternative products—ordering cleaner options online, checking them against real science, and systematically replacing our worn-out household defaults.

I created Healthy Clean Up to share my research notes so other busy parents can easily leverage exactly what I’m learning. No judgment, no unrealistic standards, and no corporate fluff. Just an honest window into how one busy family is working their way through cleaning up our environment and food supply—one small step at a time.

I am so incredibly glad you’re here. Let’s clean up our routines together!
