When my littles are sick I want to give them products that I know are safe! So many cough and cold medicines have ingredients I wouldn't dream of giving my kiddos. I have created a list of my fave things for them! My first line of defense when the kids start getting sick is a saline spray for congestion. I love little remedies saline sprays or the boogie mist nebulizer! The saline really knocks out mucus before it settles into their chest. If necessary I will also give them c

When I am in a pinch I have some go-to store bought cleaners that I know will work well on the germs and not expose my kids to unnecessary chemicals! I'm obsessed with the branch basics cleaners.

I love having cleaners that I can confidently hand my kids without worrying about them

I love making my own cleaners... HOWEVER, when it comes to sanitizing my house I need something strong enough to deal with school age children. My kids bring home all kinds of germs and I need to know I'm killing them when I clean. But as I previously mentioned I like non-toxic products in my house and my children LOVE to clean. This force of nature is safe enough for them to spray on their food! Yet effective enough to kill the tough germs they bring home! It even smells cle

When I read that 97% of kids have detectable microplastics in their bodies, I instantly started researching.
