Green Cleaning in the Living Room

Between writing about myself for you guys (because you all seem to be more interested in my personal story, rather than any of my other articles) and watching the Olympics, I have been a little slacker when it comes to my next installment of Green Living. It’s a day late, but you guys didn’t want to clean anything yesterday anyway, it was Monday! I am my own worst boss. I can’t stand it when I turn something in late, get lazy and decide I only need to write every other day, or take three day weekends! Read more »

Green Cleaning in the Bathroom

What is considered to be one of the grossest rooms in the house? I am pretty sure every one of you said the BATHROOM! Going green in the bathroom is not that hard to do. Switching out a few things can help reduce your footprint greatly! There are tons of natural cleaners that work wonders in the bathroom as well! By now, I am starting to realize just how AMAZING vinegar around the house is. It most certainly is going to do some powerhouse cleaning in my bathroom too. When we first started cleaning with vinegar, I wasn’t really into the smell that went with it. Read more »

Green Cleaning in The Kitchen

The kitchen is the one room in the house that produces the most amount of waste. We throw away food, wrappers, containers, silverware, water bottles, cleaning supplies, grocery bags, etc., etc., etc. The list could go on for days, the amount of things that we dispose of in the kitchen. By making a small investment now, you will be able to cut your costs for your kitchen by as little as half, just by switching to reusable products that you wash and reuse. Read more »

Going Green With Your Laundry

Everyone has laundry to do. Some people do their own, while others do the whole household’s laundry. I am fortunate to have a Husband that does his own laundry. I do the household, Silas, and my own laundy. It is so nice not to have to worry about an extra person’s laundry! Read more »

DIY Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner That’s WAY Better Than Resolve!

Yesterday I got my Lavender essential oil (that I ordered from Amazon) in the mail. I was so very excited to see the UPS truck pull up to the house, that I nearly knocked my son over in the process to get to the door! I really wanted something that smelled less antiseptic than the Tea Tree oil and vinegar do. As soon as I opened my package, I set about making up a new batch of my All Purpose cleaner, only I decided to get creative in the process. What came out of this recipe was surely worth the little amount of time I spent putting it together. Read more »

Green Cleaning Shopping List

I have several other articles to write today, but first I really wanted to get a quick one out on what you actually need to purchase to start cleaning green in your home. In the beginning it may seem more costly to make this lifestyle change, but this is only because you are having to purchase the items that you are going to continue to reuse for longer than those commercial cleaners could hope to hang around your house.

Making your own NATURAL HOUSEHOLD CLEANING SUPPLIES for your health and wealth

I recently watched the Documentary “Chemerical”, as it was on streaming Netflix and I had nothing better to do during my son’s naptime. It turns out, this documentary is really freaking awesome! (you should DEFINITELY watch it if you have Netflix) It was all about the toxic amount of chemicals in our household air, due to all of the toxic cleaning supplies that we use daily. Needless to say, after watching the documentary, Read more »
