Spring Cleaning!

I think I am going to start my spring cleaning early this year! #1 on my list is to clean my carpets and air ducts. I have been researching and there are "green" companies out there that use organic cleaning materials on carpets. I can't remember the last time I had my carpets cleaned but I do remember the nasty chemical smell afterwards.  This time I am going to try a company that uses organic cleaners! I'll let you know how it turns out....

Attention all mommies out there!

One of the most important things I can educate other Mom's out there is the presence of harmful ingredients that are not known to the public in baby products. Specifically Johnson & Johnson products. The shampoo, body wash & lotions in particular.  They all contain Quaternium 15, which is basically a formaldehyde releaser.  In fact manufacturers can legally use 30 different trade names for it which of course we would not recognize. 

Formaldehyde can irritate the respiratory system, cause skin reactions, allergies, headaches, and much more. It caused really bad Eczema with my first daughter, I had to stop using all Johnson & Johnson products. I now use only safe non toxic baby wash! 

Why I don't eat fish

I guess in other countries alot of folks eat alot of fish..so when I get asked this question how come I don't eat fish. Here is my answer....there is so much pollution in the waters/rivers from the cleaning products we use that contain phosphates that it is upsetting the ecosystem and killing the fish. Did you know that CASCADE is the biggest offender? Yep its so bad that it is BANNED in 16 states in the U.S.! Think twice about the next time you purchase CASCADE and where the water goes when you run your dishwasher.
