::GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED:: Congrats to Heather! Bissell must have known that I had about 20 horrible stains on my living room carpet when they contacted me about reviewing their Little Green® compact deep cleaner! I have been a loyal fan of Bissell since I purchased my PowerForce® Bagless Vacuum a few years ago, so I felt confident in testing their carpet deep cleaners as well. Some of the neat options that the Bissell Little Green® include are: (taken from Bissell website) strong spray and suction…

People are more environmentally conscious than they have ever been before. As a mom I am not only concerned about the overall environment but the environment in my home. I don’t want to expose my children to a bunch of chemicals, so I have begun to “green” my cleaning routines. You can certainly go out and buy green cleaning products but some of the greatest cleaning products are items that can be found right in your own kitchen; baking soda and vinegar. Besides being good…

Laundry is my most dreaded, least favorite chore EVER. I came across an awesome mom invention that will now make my laundry life a little easier! It’s called the Refresh’n Dryer Towel and it rocks!

They wash clothing that is not dirty, but may appear wrinkled, stretched out, and a little odored. There are…

In these times of rising prices and environmental awareness, I’ve done some reading and found a good way to cut down both on cost and on chemicals that hurt our environment. I’ve decided that the time is right for me to start making my own cleaning solutions. I’ve often though about trying it, along with the often suggested homemade baby wipes, but never felt like I had the time. Grabbing a bottle of all-purpose kitchen cleaner seemed so much more convenient than putting my own…

I am just a little bit green. I have not gone all the way there yet, but I would love to get there (eventually)! It would be so much easier to be green without the munchkins negating everything I try to do as soon as I try to do it. The one thing I HAVE gotten them to do is use cloth napkins every night for dinner. I realize that no one has that many cloth napkins, and neither did I, so I went to…
