Hello! Happy Monday- hope your day is going well!!
First off, I was listening to an old episode of KCRW Good Foods podcast today and they were discussing using more natural cleaning products (vinegar, lemon and baking soda). I am really thinking about moving towards more natural/homemade cleaning products for a number of reasons: 1) cleaning products are ridiculously expensive, 2) cleaning products contain tons of chemicals that are very bad for you, 3) cleaning products are bad for the environment. I found this little write up on what natural products you can use to clean with. What do you guys use for cleaning?
Second, here is my food list for the week. I will be back with a dinner post later.

love the list!!! HAPPY MONDAY!! I have only used lemon for cleaning..
Great food list!
I have always used vinegar + water for cleaning the floors. I guess it's just because that's what my parents have always done.
Faaaaabulous list!!
Happy Monday, my friend!!!
I definitely want to make my own cleaners too!!! Right now I use Method and or Greenworks and Seventh Generation.
I've been using Method, but it is so much cheaper to use vinegar, water and lemons...maybe that'll be one of my New Year Resolutions...hmmm. :)
I suck. i use windex and soft scrub and everything else horrible for the environment and your health.

I clean with a mix of viniger and water and antibacterial essential oils for most things, but for nasty stuff like the bathroom, I'm bad and use clorox :-P
Good idea about switching your cleaning materials. I sadly don't use anything that eco-friendly or green, but I hear Clean Works (I think that's the name?) is good, eco-friendly dish soap.
I use vinegar and water in a spray bottle for everything in the kitchen...I need to look into the antibacterial oils that I keep hearing about!
