Emily With so many blogs and articles promoting DIY everything, we are curious if it has led you to make your own cleaning products. Using things like vinegar, baking soda and scented oils, it is a pretty easy way to be clean and save green.
Loading ...We’ve been doing polls for a while now, but realized we left you hanging on the results. So here’s the response so far from last week’s question: Does it (or did it) bother you when people ask when you are going to have babies?
Of 16 votes, the majority said that it did bother them, but the three different reasons why (too personal, it’s all they ever ask, the difficulty factor) each had three voters. Seven voted to say that it didn’t bother them. Didn’t get a chance to vote? The poll is still open!

I use “green” cleaning products that I find at Target usually. Is it safe to call these products “green”? What’s your take on these things?
I think it depends. Even if a label says it’s “green,” I don’t think there’s much regulation. It takes a bit of research. I have used Method, Green Works and Mrs. Meyers, which seem to pass some of the green testing. While I’m not an expert, part of the self testing is reading the labels closely and taking a whiff. Fumes = no good for you.
I’ve read that Seventh Generation is the only company that can actually back up their claim to being “green”. Emily is right though, reading the label closely is the best way to learn exactly what is in your cleaning products.
