I’ve got baking soda and I’ve got vinegar. I’ve got natural brushes and natural buckets. My house is clean and doesn’t smell like chemicals. But what in the world do I do with all my old cleaners??
Yes, […]

I read a lot of books, magazines and websites about going green. But none have had the effect on me that A Guide to Green Housekeeping by Christina Strutt of Cabbages & Roses did.
Besides the beautifully staged photographs, I was immediately pulled in by Christina’s heartfelt and passionate writing. After only the first page, I […]
