Author Amilya Antonetti's son, David, spent almost half of the first year of his life in and out of the emergency room. After the doctor's efforts to pinpoint the cause of his distress were fruitless, a determined Amilya eventually discovered an unmistakable pattern: Her son became violently ill about two hours after she finished cleaning house. David was having severe, though not uncommon, allergic reactions to ordinary household cleaners. Amilya's attention immediately turned to finding safer yet still effective ways to keep a clean house -- without putting David in the hospital -- which she built into a successful line of natural products.

More About the Author
Amilya Antonetti spent the first years of her son's life in hospital emergency rooms.
That battle to save her son's life led to not only a wondrous solution but also to the launch of Amilya's Soapworks. A decade later, not only had she moved her natural products into the major grocery chains across the USA and Canada, she helped to redefine the cleaning aisle and usher in the "human and earth friendly" movement which consumers are embracing in waves today.
A popular personality on television and radio, Amilya has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, as a regular guest on The BIG Idea with Donny Deutsch, FOX Business, MSNBC's Your Business, CBS This Morning, Extra, and countless international radio and television shows.
Her story of Amilya's Soapworks has appeared in books, newspapers, magazines such as Chicken Soup for the Entrepreneurial Soul, People, Working Mother, First for Woman, Smart Money, Inc., Time, and her "Smart Choice Mom" lifestyle and organization tips can be read in Parent and Child and Family Circle Magazines.
Amilya has received numerous entrepreneurial awards and been lauded by her peers. Her first book, Why David Hated Tuesdays, has continued to make her a much sought after guest and public speaker. Amilya has addressed audiences alongside the greatest speakers of our generation, including Tony Robbins, Zig Zigler, Oliver North, Katie Couric and Hillary Clinton.
With the sale of Soapworks, she has moved on to the helm of AMA Enterprises and, through Amilya.com, delivers real world information, products and services to help 21st century consumers make smarter, healthier lifestyle choices.
Amilya is living her life doing what she loves: speaking, writing and illuminating the pathway for others. But as busy as she is Amilya never forgets her most important job, which is to be a great mother to her son David and her young daughter. They remain, and will always be, her purpose in life as well as key passion.

A Powerful Story that makes you think, and offers solutions,
By
This review is from: Why David Hated Tuesdays: One Courageous Mother's Guide to Keeping Your Family Toxin and Allergy Free (Paperback)
I was really impressed with Amilya's book. I had heard the story of Ms. Antonetti on Oprah and in various publications like People and Time but never gave it much attention but after I read the book everything she is saying made real life sense. I never realized how the products in my home could kill me and I took it for grated that the products I always considered safe could actually be the cause of my allergies and so many other ailments. The best thing about the book is Ms. Antonetti doesn't just tell a sob story or simply tell us everything in our homes is bad, she actually spells out in detail practical solutions you can implement immediately to make your life safer. A great read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why David Hated Tuesdays: One Couragious Mother's Guide to Keeping Your Family Toxin and Allergy Free,

This review is from: Why David Hated Tuesdays: One Courageous Mother's Guide to Keeping Your Family Toxin and Allergy Free (Paperback)
I would recommend this book to every parent, especially parents of Austism, ADHD, and ADD children. It truly educates us on everyday items we use in our houses we are not aware of, that are not only toxic to our children but ourselves as well.
