Are We Done Living Green Yet?

Is it just me or are the rest of you about over this whole 'green living' thing? I mean really. How natural are we supposed to be? It's just a lot of stress is all.

That said, the one change I've been trying to make (not too successfully I don't mind adding) is in the area of cleaning products. And not even so much to be green, I just think it's sort of ridiculous that we have to buy all this special stuff to clean our homes. Is the dirt today that different than the dirt a hundred years ago when all they had was a jug of vinegar, some baking soda, and a whole lotta elbow grease?

Ranting aside, I have as yet been unable to make all my own cleaning products. (I told you I was over it!) So the next best thing is natural store bought stuff. I swear by Mrs. Meyers.

This week Parent Bloggers is helping SC Johnson get the word out about Nature's Source cleaners, which is another off-the-shelf cleaner with natural ingredients. No matter what you choose, I think it's a wonderful thing that we're getting better ingredients in everything we buy.

Because let's face it, we're going to buy most of it. Unless you're homesteading out on a farm somewhere, life is just too busy to be making your own furniture wax and baking cookies from scratch. Honestly!

Now gardening.... that's something I'd like to try.
