Last week I was bragging about how my mother-in-law always uses her good dishes for Thanksgiving dinner, blah, blah, blah. Imagine my surprise when I walked in and saw the table set with paper plates. I had to laugh. It was too funny. Of course that would happen after I blog about it on…

Since Thanksgiving is in a couple of days I thought I would share my wit and wisdom on having a green Thanksgiving. Then I realized I didn't have any wisdom to share and went online looking for some. Wisdom that is. I found lots of great advice (search for green thanksgiv…

One thing I love about the
Green and Clean Mom community is there is so many people I can learn from. So many more people who have more experience at being green than I do and are willing to share what they have learned. Q…

Not too long ago I made my own laundry soap. I went online and found a basic recipe, bought the ingredients, and in no time I had my own laundry soap.
I was ecstatic because if it passed the kid test then I could make my own soap much cheaper than buying it. The kid te…

This fenced area came with our house when we moved here. I have heard that the previous owner's wife had a garden in that area which is exactly what I want to do with it.
The only problem is I don't know where to begin. I know at some point I have to get rid of the grass, do somethi…

I don't know how it is in your homes, but in my home I am the one who is green. I am the one who doesn't use paper towels anymore. I'm the one who is recycling. I'm the one who is looking into other ways for us to be more green.
My husband on the other hand isn't quit…

I have been on a geothermal kick ever since a house in our area was for sale with geothermal heating and cooling. I would have loved to have that house but I already have a house so it doesn't make sense to get another one. But a girl can dream.
So, while reading the O…

Why do I recycle? Hmm. Well...let's see. It started when I watched the movie, Idiocracy. I was amazed at the piles and piles of trash all over. Then there was my trip to the dump. I was amazed at the piles and piles of trash all over. Then I watched the movie, Wa…

I have a confession. I am not green when it comes to cleaning. I have lots of chemicals for lots of cleaning.
I love Clorox wipes. I know I shouldn't be using them but can't seem to convince myself that I'm not getting rid of the germs unless I use them.

My children love art and I love to let them create. One of our favorite things to do is paint. I set them up with a paint palette, water, brushes, lots of paper and they are free. Free to do whatever they want as long as the paint stays on the paper or the newspaper underneath.…

Saturday marked my first trip to the recycling center. Wait. I take that back. It was my second trip there but the first time I ever took anything with me. (The first time was to check it out and see what items they accepted.)

"Baby Come Back! You can blame it all on me." Do you recognize the reference? It's the song in a Swiffer wetjet commercial. I imagine that that's what my dryer is singing to me as I am taking the freshly washed clothes outside to hang dry.
Guess what? I can blame it all on my…
