As a stay at home mom, I try to do what I can to limit my impact on the environment and to use environmentally friendly products. It’s not an easy task, especially as my husband was raised very conservative Republican, and is just so matter of fact about some of the chemicals he uses in our garden, as well as not being as concerned as I am about the environment. It makes for an interesting combination.

I walk my daughter to school rather than drive, combine errands and keep looking for the safest products to use. I especially find making my own cleaning products at home interesting. Vinegar is a good friend!

Am I perfect at this stuff? Not a chance! But I do try to keep up what I’ve learned as well as learn more constantly.
