living my best possible southern life

I love natural cleaners! I do because I am learning more and more how everything we use affects our bodies and the environment. I remember growing up and the smell of bleach everywhere. I am not against bleach, I just don’t want to harm my kids more than I have to. I’m their mother, they…

Guess what? Saturday we got to go see Cars 2!! It was a huge hit with the kids. I can do no wrong for a little while. I am a Cars fan as well. They are just so dang cute and my favorite character is Guido. Don’t know why but I just fell in love…
