It just gets you right in the gut, especially as a mom of two teenagers.<BR/><BR/>On another note, thank you so much for sharing your recipes for the homemade cleaners. I'm going to pick up some Borax today for them. You also reminded me that I need to buy some more herb plants at the Farmer's market this weekend. Thanks!

I use it mixed with washing soda and castille soap to make laundry soap. <BR/><BR/>Also, white vinegar is an awesome fabric softener. <BR/><BR/>I am glad to hear about how Maya's school is handling things. I remember in the late seventies and early eighties when things were swept under the carpet and the truth was called 'rumors.' <BR/><BR/>Per usual, your girls sound amazing.greenish goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05821696282787065525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13292807.post-70504230758202010072008-05-08T20:23:00.000-07:002008-05-08T20:23:00.000-07:00Oh Thank you Madness, I followed some other links ...Oh Thank you Madness, I followed some other links also in that article, WOW, I so did not EVEN realize ANY of this!!!

I've been really impressed with our school. You can't leave kids worried and wondering. About Windex, there are a known amount of chemicals in Windex that aren't just toxic to the environment, but to us. I think there is probably more crap in cleaners than we know about as the below article suggests:<BR/>http://www.truthout.org/issues_06/072707HA.shtmlDiz Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04618954577639763316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13292807.post-4634348397917572242008-05-08T07:02:00.000-07:002008-05-08T07:02:00.000-07:00whoa that is sooooooo cool about the cleansers, I'...whoa that is sooooooo cool about the cleansers, I'm trying that!! I'm just asking because I know that you will have the correct answer........Why is a product like windex harmful to the environment? I have never thought about that.<BR/><BR/>Also........about the abuse of the little girls in your middle school. That is so amazingly sad to me!! It angers me as a an adult AND as a Mom. Our grade school went through this years ago when my son was in school and they did nothing or said nothing to the other students at the time and it was so hard for me to understand why they wouldnt council them.It actually all turned out to be false but at the time there were so many Little kids with HUGE questions....<BR/>Kudos to you for talking about it with your girls.... You are such a great example!!
