We’ve all done it. We’ve painstakingly created an efficient and organized shopping list. Crossing off each and every item, we’ve proudly scoured every aisle in the grocery store. Exhausted we’ve driven our supplies home to our family. It’s about halfway home that we realized we forgot the most important item on our list. We forgot the “one” reason that sparked the whole shopping extravaganza. Oh…Come ON!

    I stopped using detergent! According to the University of Washington, 99% of laundry detergents release cancer-causing chemicals that are legally hazardous and toxic by the EPA.

    Instead, I use this: http://www.bestquicktips.com/wash-with-no-detergent. It gets our clothes cleaner than ever. My husband drives a dump truck and gets dirty and stinky. Lo and behold, no dirt and NO STINK!! Plus, we save and water since I don’t need to use the rinse cycle.
