A Final Thank You To Green Works by Clorox & Matchstick!


Over the past four weeks I have not only been trying the Clorox Green Works but also the all purpose cleaner as well that was so kindly sent to me from Matchstick. Most of you have heard me say either on the phone or face to face how much I have enjoyed using the laundry soap but also the all purpose cleaner. Everyone who knows me knows I hate using chemicals in my home! The all purpose cleaner was a very nice treat for me to use and like the laundry soap I plan to continue to use this product since it works and smells so great! I plan on trying out the toilet bowl cleaner and the dish soap as well and since I am running very low on both I will be doing that in the very near future. Even though the program is ending I will provide my feedback on these products to my readers as well!
I'd like to thank everyone who helped me out in trying this fabulous product and who took the time to write their opinions into my blog. I know there are still a few of you who plan on it and I look forward to finding out what you all think too! Others, like my grandparents, don't have a computer but have expressed a liking for this product and believe me someone like my grandmother is a hard one to get to switch a product! But Green Works has won her over! lol
To Clorox-Green Works and Matchstick a very big Thank You on behalf of myself and family and friends who greatly appreciated the opportunity to try this product for free! How often does that ever happen anymore? Not too often anyway and I am very flattered that I was 1 of the 50 Canadians who got to be an influencer and help spread the word! I hope I have done my job well and will continue to use word of mouth to influence others into going green! Thank you again!

Please don't forget to complete the survey, a $2 donation will be made to Redwood Women's Shelter a Toronto based safe haven for abused women and families.

Crib Recall

As many parents in North America I am frightened, angry and upset by this Strokcraft recall, especially considering I have one of these cribs. My oldest son apparently slept in a death trap for the first year of his life, I'm not impressed! I understand that the company has a "repair kit" for the cribs but do they seriously expect parents to feel that their children are going to be safe in their beds?! I'm NOT going to risk it! This is my child's life and I'm not about to gamble with it. 
The CEO of the company, Jim Moore, said to CTV News "I know our product is safe." Seriously? Come on! Children have died and you are saying that your product is safe! When did you lose your soul?
My husband and I have decided to ditch the crib, do a little research into some other brands and hopefully we can come up with a solution. For now the baby can stay in his bassinet beside my bed with his angel care monitor on so I can know he is safe beside me!
What a frightening thing it is to be a parent as it is, who would have ever thought you would have to be frightened of your child's bed; how sad.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the children who have died and been injured.
