KIDS ‘N’ PETS brand cleaning products are cruelty free, non-toxic, environmentally friendly and biodegradable. Which means they are a perfect addition to our Earth Day event.

Cleaner free cleaning?! Is that really possible? I mean come on – if it doesn’t smell like a cleaner it isn’t clean…right?! Not a CHANCE. In fact those chemicals you are breathing in are more toxic to your environment and your family than the dirt you are cleaning up! I have been there and done…

This cleaning tip will not only sterilize your sponge, but it will keep your microwave crust free too! It’s…
As you may have seen from some other posts I’ve recently written my family moved last week. I was SUPER excited when the day before the big move my new PINK-ing of bogg bag, bogg bag showed up! It turned into the BIGGEST help during this crazy time of transition. When looking online I don’t…
You can take the week off or catch up on a previous week of inspiration. I’m fearful my “nesting” habits are coming to a screeching stop, but hopefully it was just one of those weeks when life was busy, kids were sick, I have been fighting a cold, and the calendar was too full. …
