-Recent update at bottom. As I have gotten rid of my less natural stain removers baby girl seems to have gone on a very messy kick and I swear everything she is wearing is getting covered in stains. Our whites have also been looking dull lately and I finally decided I should do something aboutContinue reading “Cleaner options for brightening whites and removing stains from laundry”

Alright I’m going to talk about a subject I didn’t necessarily want to talk about publicly, but I have loved the results so much I want to share. I remember hearing that most anti-perspirant deodorants have aluminum in them as an active ingredient several years ago. I heard this from a family member who isContinue reading “Replacing anti-perspirant deodorant”

The first solid food we gave baby girl was sweet potatoes, and she was seriously obsessed with them until the last few months. Suddenly she’s started fighting me every time I make them for her. At first I thought it was just because she was sick of eating purees now that she thinks she canContinue reading “Toddler sweet potato pancakes”

One of the first changes we made in our home was switching out our toothpastes. I actually started to research the ingredients in toothpaste quite a while before deciding to write this blog, but after I found out that there are specific ingredients that are thought to cause or irritate canker sores that are frequentlyContinue reading “Hello toothpaste”

We were most nervous to try a natural laundry detergent as we have been using one with a strong scent for a while, and were afraid our clothes would not smell good with an unscented detergent. After over 3 months of using it, I can honestly say that I like it and that my clothesContinue reading “Branch Basics laundry detergent”

As I have been looking for better products to use in our home I have realized that there are quite a few natural brands I can’t find at my grocery store, and that either have a very limited Amazon selection, or their prices are way higher on Amazon. Unfortunately, Prime shipping has basically ruined byContinue reading “Thrive Market review”

My goodness, are there any brands I love more than Hello Bello? Truthfully, probably not. I LOVE this company and the things they stand for. If you haven’t heard of them, Dax Shepherd and Kristen Bell came out with a baby line pretty recently. My sister mentioned the name when I was pregnant, but IContinue reading “Hello Bello baby products”

I have loved dill pickles for as long as I can remember, and have fond memories crunching on them with my cousin at our grandma’s house as tiny little kids. Please don’t even mention the words sweet pickles to me though because I cannot stand them…at all. I have always loved sour things, sour candy,Continue reading “Pickles without artificial coloring”

I have been putting off changing out my dishwasher detergent. First, we live in a rental and I really don’t want to hurt the dishwasher by using things that random people on the internet suggest. Second, our soap has worked really well and I’m a HUGE fan of my dishwasher because I seriously dislike washingContinue reading “A natural dish detergent that really cleans”

I have hesitated to share this publicly because I would never want to make someone feel bad about the products they use, but I honestly think most people are not aware of the dangers lurking behind many of the things we use every single day. I recently found the Environmental Working Group online and haveContinue reading “Is there a brand of non-toxic cleaners that really works?”
