I have switched to natural cleaners (what they call Zen-cleansing) and been using them for well over a year now. I mix them myself, they are safe enough for my kids to use and there are no fake/chemical smells. The only scent is the essential oils I sometimes add. We have also switched to cloth towels (instead of paper towels) and cloth napkins. The next switch will be to cloth hankies from Wallypop. If we all make little changes a little at a time, it makes a BIG difference. And then we raise our children, the next generation, to see "green/simple living" as normal. This post so inspires me to go clean out my kitchen drawers and to donate the gadgets that I don't need or use. I have been meaning to do that! Sobering, isn’t it!

I stumbled onto your site and am so impressed by what you are doing with the live lightly tour! It looks like you and Matt are doing so well! I'd love to hear from you- and send Matt my best. Love, Sarah (Stoltzfus) Wolfe Sara,
