I love having the opportunity to feature companies here who are making a difference by caring about our environment.  I've featured several forward-thinking companies who produce a host of essential household goods and now the time has come to show you the "green" way to shower!

Rock Candy Life is a company out of Austin, Texas that has designed some beautiful selections of eco-friendly shower curtains.  I recently had the opportunity to make my bathroom more environmentally friendly by reviewing their Whimsical Birds shower curtain.  Keep reading to learn more!

Having a dog and a small child in the house definitely means that I have to step up my cleaning routine in order to keep up with them.  It also means that for the first time in my life, I've actually begun considering what is IN those cleaning products I use.  I've read so much in the past few years about how toxic common household cleaners can be, though I want to make sure everything in my house is exceptionally clean, so that my family doesn't get ill.

Activeion Cleaning Solutions has found a uniquely designed way to bring you the best of both worlds...a super clean home with absolutely no harmful chemicals used in the process.  Let me introduce you to the Activeion ionator HOM.

Our household definitely goes through "AA" batteries, which is why I switched to using rechargeable batteries years ago.  They may cost a little bit more up front, but the savings add up quickly, especially if some of your high usage devices only take batteries.

The problem with rechargeable batteries is trying to get the maximum potential from them, which can be difficult, since overcharging these batteries can significantly reduce their shelf life.  Thankfully, Energizer has created the Recharge Smart Charger which will maximize the long-term health of your batteries.  Keep reading to learn more!

I used to think that I knew a lot about different fibers used in both clothing and bedding.  Before I became a teacher, I used to be a manager for a big box housewares retailer as well as a big box clothing store.

I was always under the impression that the absolute softest fiber was either cashmere or an Egyptian cotton in an extremely high thread count.  Boy, have I discovered that I was wrong.  Cloth made from bamboo is sinfully soft and much softer than any of the high quality sheets I currently have.

I recently had the opportunity to learn much more about the benefits of bamboo by reviewing the Women's Bamboo Circle Top from Green Earth Bamboo.  Keep reading to learn much more!

Colossal Christmas Countdown: 12 Days Until Christmas!

Children have the unique ability to live in a world of make-believe and to rely solely on their imagination for entertainment.  I don't know how many times I've watched my daughter magically transform a spoon into a hairbrush, drumstick, microphone and even a pair of scissors in order to cut my hair. Box Creations is a company which allows your child to create their very own unique and personalized playhouse from a mere piece of cardboard!  I was fortunate enough to review the Medieval Castle cardboard playhouse.  Keep reading to find out more!
