Clean + Green by SeaYu

Cleaning & Cleaners, Pets, , , , ,

Clean-green-carpet If you have pets, like a huge number of American families, then you are likely to spend money and time on cleaning carpet and upholstery.  What you might not know is that a lot of carpet cleaning solutions/products contain toxic ingredients.  What a great way to clean right?

Clean + Green is the only eco-friendly
aerosol pet cleaning product on the planet and is safe for pets, and kids. Unlike most other cleaning products
that can be harmful, require multiple applications and/or only temporarily mask
odors, Clean+Green delivers instant results in a non-toxic, eco-friendly
solution. Clean+Green permanently cleans pet stains and eradicates odors.

Clean+Green is made with
ingredients and materials that are all-natural, 100% biodegradable, and
recyclable. That means that not only are you being eco-conscious in choosing
Clean+Green, but you are also protecting your family and pets from harmful
chemicals that can be found in other popular cleaning products.

I actually wrote this review in early March and failed to publish it (sorry) and since then I've learned first hand the great cleaning power of Clean + Green!  Thank you SeaYu!  Clean+Green is available at PETCO®,
PetSmart®, Pet Supplies Plus® and other retailers that sell pet specialty
products in the US and Canada, as well as through the Clean+Green site –
www.sea-yu.com.

Children’s Claratin.. saves the day! Sebastian’s at least

Health, , , ,

Claratin-kidsMy 9 year old son Sebastian has a terrible time with allergies in the Spring.  He sneezes from the minute he wakes up all the way into the night and even has sneeze attacks while asleep.  Just last week I emailed his teacher while he was at school, to tell her that he has a really bad time with his eyes during pollen season and she wrote me back right away saying that she already sent him to the nurse's office because his eyes were so red and itchy!

I started him on Children's Claratin that I had just received from BuzzAgent (great timing!) that afternoon and he's been much better since.  In fact I'm going to the store to stock up in just a little bit.  Sebastian prefers pills that he can swallow and as far as I can tell, Claratin doesn't offer a swallowable pill for kids.  That's my only gripe.

Sinupretkids_160x320 Sebastian also uses a product called Sinupret for Kids that I sware by.  Sinupret is a proprietary blend of European Elder, Common Sorrel, Cowslip, European
Vervain and Gentian that he takes every day for immune system support, health nasal passages, and it supports the upper respiratory system.  Madelyn also uses Sinupret for Kids.. that's how much I think it works and trust it.

Making Memories – Artisan Letterpress Birthday Cards

Paper Goods, , , ,

Artisan-letterpress

Take a peek at these extra special letterpress birthday cards. The perfect finishing touch for a special gift for a child's birthday. Letterpress cards are special enough for keepsakes in a memory book or scrapbook. We love the substantial feel of the paper and the delicate hand-printing effect left by an artisan crafted letterpress card. You can also give these cards guilt-free as many of the letterpress cards are printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper.

We absolutely adore the letterpress collection from "Hello Lucky!". Located in San Francisco's SOMA district, Hello Lucky! was founded by sisters and best friends Eunice and Sabrina Moyle in Eunice's garage. Hello Lucky's cards are sold in Anthropologie, Kate’s Paperie, and Liberty of London. These sock monkey cards are just too cute, perfect for the little monkey's next birthday! www.hellolucky.com

Leslie Patricelli – super cute books

Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Books, , ,

Leslie has such a fun personal story. She may not think so, she probably thinks she has a normal life.. don't we all?  The first line of her Bio on her web site is "I  live in the mountain town of Ketchum, Idaho".  There's something about me saying I live in Marietta, GA that doesn't sound quite as exciting as 'the mountain town of Ketchum, Idaho'.   She goes on to tell readers that her favorite food is Spaghetti and that she's had several jobs including being a ski instructor, a nanny, and an animator.  You can tell from her Bio that she is fun, silly, and loves to write for kids.

Leslie's books are fun and simple making them a top pick for Madelyn.  She wants to read Leslie's books over and over again. What I love about her books is that they leave room for imagination.  Like when Madelyn and I read "Higher! Higher!", there aren't many words on each page which makes it fun for Madelyn and I to make up our own mini-stories for each page.  For example, in Higher! Higher!, the little girl swings in the clouds.  Madelyn and I talk about who is on the airplane in the illustration, what they're doing and other silly stuff.  We have a lot of fun with Leslie's books.

You can see Leslie Patricelli's collection of books on her website and there are fun games to play and coloring sheets on her site too.  Enjoy!
