You can always buy the french fries, but the receipe is better with home made fries.

A Responsible Society

Last January, The Massachusetts Senate passed the Safer Alternative Bill ,they propose replacing the toxic components for safer alternatives (www.healthytomorrow.org).
It's very good to see that people are becoming more and more committed ,responsible and concern about our health and with our environment.
I think every State should imitate this initiative, take a look at this video, you will be surprised to see how many chemicals are found in people's bodies, of course the more affected: The Children.

We Can't Trust "Organic" Products Only Because They Use The Word "Organic"

It looks like we can not trust anybody, Oh no!, please make your own research each time you buy your cleaning products, the organic word in the labels doesn't guarantee you that they are safer for your home.
This article will explain more clearly what I'm saying:

It's NOT Requiered!

So, now we know. Companies are not required to disclose the components of their products. I wonder why.
Well, I guess that's why I used to feel like an agonizing cockroach each time I cleaned my house. Not anymore! Check this out:

It's National Poison Awareness Week!

New studies show that more and more often, toxic components are found in our "cleaning" products. I don't think these products clean at all, they poison us and our children, take a look at this report:

That's why I made my home a safe place, let's get involved, every mom should take these poisons away. Have you started already?

Moms: Take The Lead!

We moms need to be conscious about the "silent killers" that "live" in our homes. Most of them are the cleaning products we use everyday which are made with toxic components that can hurt our bodies, even by breathing them. Our children are more vulnerable than us because their inmune systems aren't completely developed yet. Have you noticed how many "unknown diseases" have knocked at our doors in recent years and nobody knows what they are or how we get them. It's time to take the offensive and do something about it! If every mom gets involved we can make a better world for our families. Don't wait!
