Go Green Mom

I am a stay-at-home mom and have 3 little ones who were all under 3 years old not so long ago. As a mom I feel incredibly blessed and know that each day I am working FOR THE GOOD of my husband, my children, my home, my neighborhood, my community, my church....you get the picture. Worry is normal and sleepless nights are common even though technically I should be sleeping through the night...no more infants. The last thing I need to worry about is how the products in my house are contaminating my family and the environment. BPA free bottles? What? I know that my 2 oldest kids drank from clear plastic bottles that I am sure were leaching chemicals into the milk and juice. What are the long term effects? And what about those poisonous bath washes and the laundry detergent that leaches into your skin and the softeners that effect our rivers and streams...Ahhhhhh! As a mom I think it is improtant to always be thinking that what I do everyday should begin with...This is FOR THE GOOD of _______ (...fill in the blank). This is a core value and a way of putting the "treat others as you want to be treated" into practice. It is also a way to be conscious about the environment and take care of this amazing earth. I have made a real effort to rid my home of harsh chemicals and use products that have sustainable, natural ingredients, no caustic chemicals and that keep our waterways clean!!! How are you and your family "GOING GREEN"?
