We’ve talked about hand sanitizers before and whether you are anti or pro on-the-go hand sanitizers there is one thing we all can agree on is safety in ingredients for our little ones.

One of the first things that went in my house when we started to green (during the whole BPA boom of ’07) was conventional cleaning products. Since then, we’ve tried many green cleaning products.

I really love dual purpose products when it comes to parenting – it just tickles me when something meant for one thing has a totally separate use. I also try my best to be somewhat stylish on a day to day basis. I know it’s hard – believe me there are days when I am [...]
