Seventh Generation with a Giveaway

Since becoming a mom I definitely take more care in our environment.  I make sure to recycle, reuse, re purpose, and turning lights off, not using harsh chemicals in our home and more.  Now that I have a lot more a reason to, I want the earth to not only last longer but last better and be a great place.  Does that even make sense?  Once you have kids, you are more "invested" I guess in the outcome and state of the earth.  Maybe its not like that for everyone but that's how it was for me. 

I have been a reducer, reuser and recycler for years but in the last 3 or so years I have gotten into using green cleaners.  I not only hate the smell of chemical cleaners I don't like using them on anything that we eat on, near or anywhere near our food.  I also won't use them on the bathroom mirror because some could get on our toothbrushes even though I move them, or on our sink where we brush our teeth.  Why would I spray something down with chemicals that I now need to rewash because I need to put food there!  Doesn't make sense to me so I just won't use it.

When I had the chance to review some products from Seventh Generation I was pretty excited.  I am not sure if I have ever used their cleaners before but have hear many great things about them.  Seventh Generation sent me some coupons to use for diapers, wipes, a cleaner, a laundry product and a dish washing product.

Something that I have never found "green" that I loved was a natural dish soap.  We, well I, do dishes by hand as we don't have a dishwasher and if a dish soap doesn't product bubbles and cut grease I don't think its working properly.  I don't know if the bubble part is just in my head or not but its there and I couldn't wait to try out the Seventh Generation dish soap.  I was thrilled with the results, there were even more bubbles and grease cutting power than with my old dish soap.  I even used it to wash our griddle after we made bacon, now that's putting it to the test!  I couldn't have been happier with it and will definitely be adding it to my grocery list.

Brandon isn't in diapers anymore but he does wear training pants when we are going through an accident stage.  Reading other Moms opinions has made me think that they will be great but the Seventh Generation training pants aren't available here yet so I am waiting on them to arrive to see how they work!

I am happy with the laundry soap, all purpose cleaner and the wipes.  I love that the wipes are chlorine free, who wants to wipe chlorine on their little ones bum!  The cleaner worked great and I loved that I didn't have to clean it off the counter to feel like I put food on it afterwords.  The laundry soap was great, free of dyes and chemicals so I can safely use if on my sensitive skinned family!

Overall I would definitely buy Seventh Generation again, it was at most stores here in my town and at very competitive prices, you can even get some coupons online!  Make sure you check out the Seventh Generation community for great coupons and lots of great information!
