Heather @I Digress has issued a challenge to me after I admitted that the ENTIRE back seat of my car is full of Untethered Flying Objects (UFOs):
She said, “Maybe at least one of us will change our ways. I’m countin’ on YOU, Ms. Modern!”

I love the idea of Mrs. Meyers Clean Day cleaning products. Scrub your house with delicious smelling eco-friendly cleaning supplies? Where do I sign up? Any product that can tout itself as “earth friendly and cruelty free” is worth giving a shot.
The products that I received to try were: the countertop spray in basil scent, room freshener in lavender, the scented soy candle in lemon verbena, and the automatic dish packs in geranium.
