I was challenged to switch to Arm & Hammer Baking Soda and to test new ways of using this versatile product in my home. In a previous post, I discussed how intrigued I was by the possible uses of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda in the nursery. I already used the product in my fridge to deodorize, but now I’ve tested it as a diaper pail freshener and stuffed animal cleaner.

I was challenged to use Arm & Hammer Baking Soda in a new way in the home. There are hundreds of uses, but I was most interested in testing baking soda in the nursery.
Green Your Nursery
With their love of the outdoors, children are natural environmentalists. My preschooler loved the new Lorax movie. Afterwards, he wanted to plant some trees.
Teaching your kids to be earth friendly is easier than you think. Reading books about nature, recycling, planting trees and gardening are all fun ways to teach your kids.
Living Like the Lorax
Since I’m a busy working mom, I love it when companies offer affordable, practical ways to help the environment. Seventh Generation is one of my favorite companies because they offer greener cleaning products that are priced competitively.
Learnin’ and Gigglin’ and Goin’ Green #GoGreenNGiggle #CBias
We’ve raised butterflies and grown bean plants and this spring we are planning on growing sunflowers.
Since I am all about eco-education (my consulting company and site are called Naturally Educational!), I was happy to get a sneak peak at the new Gigglin’ Garden Gang Indoor Greenhouse.
Chemical Free Beauty
When it comes to beauty regiments, all women have their fair share of preferred products, unusual routines and necessary traditions. Sensitive skin or finicky hair can play a big role in which products are used and it can be generally agreed upon that some of the more natural products promote youth through their lack of chemicals and help us all to feel good about what we put on our bodies. Searching for effective yet natural products can sometimes be a struggle, but Abe’s Market has a huge variety of products that will serve you just as well as their chemical-laden counterpart.
Eco Friendly Lunches
Packing a lunch is one of the easiest ways to save money and be eco-friendly. You can choose healthful foods to bring with you and can assure that you’re always excited for lunch. Whether you want to start a new diet, look for ways to save money or simply are ready to make a change, packing a lunch for the day is a smart decision. It doesn’t have to limit you when it comes to being social during lunch hour, you could even inspire others to bring their lunches as well!
Holiday Hostess Gifts
As the holiday season approaches, thousands of invites will be sent out for a variety of holiday parties. All guests are eager to show their appreciation and thanks and a great way to do that is through the appropriate gifting of a hostess present. The biggest dilemma that accompanies a hostess gift is to simultaneously not spend too much money but also gift something thoughtful and meaningful.
A Sixth Sense for Doing Laundry
Did you know that about 90% of the energy in a typical laundry cycle is spent heating the water? While hot water may be necessary for certain stains or for running a sanitizing/allergen cycle, using hot water to do laundry is a waste of energy. Plus, washing clothing in cold water allows fabrics to retain their color and strength longer.
