STORYTIME:

I have ADHD and so cleaning at times isn’t exactly my strong suit… When I was little my grandma used to pay me to keep my room clean, more as a favor to my mom I’m sure. So when faced with adulting on my own and venturing into the world of cleaning supplies I have tried everything because basically, I had no idea what I was doing.

Thankfully my hubby Isaac is a master cleaner, definitely the neat person in our relationship… its called balance right! Anyway we really started to get serious about what ingredients were having near our children and near us and so natural cleaning products were not only simple and easy but also a huge money saver.

We waste so much money on chemicals and at the end of the day there are some pretty gnarly ingredients in them including hormone disrupters and other things that can affect your health.
