June Specials from Good Things Green Things
I love summer! It's so great to spend more time outside, and I love to see how much fun the kids are having. Tate loves to water trees and Taylor is just so excited to look at everything!
My organic seeds are doing alright. They seem small, and I forgot to put the top back on their little greenhouse so Mickey the Cat helped himself to a few things. Hopefully they'll be okay.
We have some new items on the site this month. Purple Prairie Botanicals is based in Minnesota, and makes natural skin care products. I am loving everything from them so far. We have sunscreen lotion, sticks, and lip balm. Also, bug spray and lotion. They all work and smell great. I'm even trying the bug lotion on the dogs as a flea and tick repellent. I spot it on at back of the neck, base of the tail, and belly. So far so good. We're hoping to head up North the end of June, so I'll let you knwo how it fares against the North Woods. You can find all the new products on the Home Page, they will be 10% off for the month of June. You can also find them under the Bug & Sun catagory.
There are a few other specials on the home page for you to check out, and there are some great items in the Clearance Section too.
I hope all is well with all of you. Take care and stay green!

Why Clean Green?
I feel one of the most important things you can do if you want to live a greener life, is to switch to non-toxic cleaning products. There are so many horrible chemicals in the traditional products out there today. No one in your family needs to be breathing in that stuff, especially when it's been suggested that repeated exposure to these products can cause skin irritation, allergies, asthma and possibly cancer. No to mention the fact that they pollute our ecosystems and harm aquatic life and animals.
It also bothers me that the ingredients usually aren't listed on the products. Why would you use something when you dont know what's in it? The simplyneutral brand of cleaning products that we carry are reasonable priced, and were created by someone who cleans homes for a living. So you know they work. Maggie of simplyneutral developed allergies while cleaning homes, and decided to create her own line of products. Her products are ideal for people, with asthma, allergies and multiple chemical sensitivities. I absolutely love the cleaners! They work so well, and I love the light, clean scent of the All Purpose Cleaner.
Seventh Generation is also another great brand that you can find at most of your local stores. They have a wide variety of products, and all the ingredients are disclosed on the label.
The other option is to make you own products. There are a lot of natural ingredients that make great cleaning products.
White Vinegar: Can be used so many ways. Great for cleaning windows, and other surfaces. I mix equal parts with water and just start washing everything. You can add in a few drops of natural dish detergent for contertops, but you don't need to. I've been adding it to the laundry as a fabric softener (1/4 vinegar & 1/4 water in the rinse cycle dispener) it works so well, and it's nice not having to use the fabric softener sheets. White vinegar is also great for mold issues. Mix with water (more vinegar than water for this ) and just start washing! Most people don't like the smell of white vinegar, but it disappears as soon as it dries.
Baking Soda: Great for laundry, I add 1/4 cup per laod to whiten and act as a fabric softener. My favorite use for baking soda is on the stove top. I ALWAYS burn food on to the stove top, and the best way for me to get it off is a mixture of baking soda and lemon juice. I don't have a measurement for this one, I just sprinkle some on and add the lemon juice. Used with a scrubbie sponge, it gets that crusty food right off there.
Olive oil: Want to shine up your cabinets the natural way? Buff them with olive oil. I recently didi this to our kitchen cabinets and they look brand new. Plus, it's cheap and non-toxic. I like to use a cut up t-shirt, because it doesn't soak up all the oil and doesn't leave lint behind on what your polishing.
Have fun with your green spring cleaning, and take care of yourselves.
We'll talk soon.

April Specials from Good Things Green Things
To green up this years spring cleaning, all cleaning supplies are 10% of through the month of April. Read more about green cleaning in todays post Why Clean Green?
We have a new organic pet supplement made from nine medicinal mushrooms. Super Immunity Formula by Organic Pet Superfood is beneficial for pets who are stressed, have low energy, have joint issues, allergy problems or digestive issues. It's easy to feed and only requires a small amount of powder that can be sprinkled on your pets food. Emma, Phoebe, Mickey and Dude are testing it out right now. We started it on Monday, so we haven't seen any results yet, besides the fact that they love it. Even the cats! Dude is sick with a Urinary tract infection and bladder and kidney stones right now. He has not had much of an appetite, but was really interested in the Superfood. I'm anxious to see if it will help with Emma and Phoebe's allergies. You can keep up with our progress on our Dog Blog.
I think that's is for now. Hope you're all doing well. Take care and we'll talk soon.

Noli n Nali Baby Bum Balm
I just wanted to tell you how great this product is. I feel like this is somewhat of a shamless plug - because I sell this on my website, but I just have to tell you how great it is. I just got around to using it the other day, because Taylor has a nasty diaper rash, and we finally used up the other product that we were using (which was not helping, by the way).
This salve has GREATLY improved her diaper rash, and quickly too I might add. I think we've been putting it on for two days, and her rash is barely noticable. As an added bonus, I put some on my husband's hand to see if it would help with his chapped and broken skin, and that as well is healing nicely. We've tried a lot of different lotions for him an nothing has worked.
So to sum up, the Baby Bum Balm works really good and we are loving it. Noli n Nali is a wonderful, Mom-owned company with a great selection of the most natural products for mother and baby.
Hope you're all doing well. Take care and stay green!
