Since my last post we moved into a nice older townhouse, exactly what I wanted. Hard wood floors, character...yeah. Sadly, I'm realizing that with this comes a whole other area. Bills. My Epcor bill didn't just double it tripled and can someone please explain why they need separate "admin" charges for all of their "services" Sorry, but I don't think they administrate the waste going down the sewer. AHHH and then there is gas..wowsa that is expensive. See, didn't account for the carpet keeping the heat in....newer home=better insulation...newer home=windows that are not plastic trim and so drafty you can feel the wind gust in the living room...you get the idea. Baby it's cold in here!
So I have been toying with many ideas on what I would like this blog to be for and I think I figured it out! I want to bring together resources for lower cost/cost effective(yes they are different) "green" products for you and your family. I have spent many hours searching for different things that I know I need but can't find at a reasonable cost! For example I don't think I need to pay an arm and a leg for my child to use a shampoo that is safe for them. Why should I have to go to the grocery store and pick up the L'oreal stuff because that's what I can afford/find? Does that mean that my kids can't have a shampoo that doesn't have anesthetic in it to make it "tear free"? Of course not! It just means that I have to search endlessly on the internet to find the boutique stores that carry these things.
So now I am actually off to find a company that sells panties for little girls. Organic cotton would be nice and 18-24 months petite would be lovely! Someone has to make this right?
