Going Green Giveaway!

I am so excited to announce this fantastic giveaway I have for you today!

Are you ready?

It seems like everyone is on this whole going green bandwagon. And, why not? Whether you share the same faith as me I think we can all agree its best for all of us to take care of the earth, right? 

As a Christian I believe it's my duty to be a good steward of what the Lord has entrusted to me. Including my part of the earth. My little section of this great state of Texas. In our home. 
I also believe, as a Christian, I'm called to be a good steward of my body. It is the temple of the Holy Spirit after all, right? Same goes with the little bodies the Lord has entrusted to us to raise {read: our kiddos}. 
We should strive to take good care of the ourselves and the earth. 

With that being said, one big way to do this is by being aware of what we're using to clean our homes with. Think about it. If we spend the majority of our time in our homes, breathing the air in here, then shouldn't we make sure what we're spraying around here is safe for our health AND the environment? 

According to a 15-year study presented at the Toronto Indoor Air Conference, women who work at home have a 54% higher death rate from cancer than those who work away from home. The study concluded that this was a direct result of the increased exposure to toxic chemicals, many of which are found in common household products.

More than 9 out of every 10 suspected poison exposures occur at home with household products.
Scary, huh? But, I'm sure tons of you reading this are already with me on that. Right? :)

So, here is the big
