1. Petit Home Team NEWS

Wrestling season has come to an end and what a great 6 month ride it was! Tripp and Nolan participated in the final tournament of the season. The NC Rookie AAU State tournament was held at Concord Arena and both boys came home with GOLD hardware. Coach Pepere and myself have truly enjoyed coaching and watching every single one of the boys work hard. They cheer loud for one other when the other is wrestling. I usually have to hold them back to the side of the mat! Now we are on to softball season with my daughter's 10U team.

Go Red Sox!

2. Natural Spring Cleaning For A Healthy Home

Brighten your sink by squeezing some lemon juice in the kitchen sink and sprinkle with baking soda. Scrub with a brush to make it shiny and germ free.
Make a window cleaner by putting vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Add some essential oils such as lemon or orange to make it smell like citrus and clean as usual but without the toxins.
You can also use the mixture above to spray in your refrigerator or microwave as an antibacterial spray. Just spray and wipe.
Clean those coffee/tea stained mugs by diluting some baking soda in your mugs with warm water. Let sit for 20 minutes or so, scrub and rinse to remove stains.
Mix baking soda with some dish soap (natural of course) and a few drops of tea tree to make a scrub to clean the bathrooms. There are many ways to clean our homes naturally which are much healthier for us and our families then the old fashion way.
Use liquid castile soap and baking soda to make a soft scrub for bathtubs and bathroom sinks.
Wash all the blankets and curtains using your own homemade laundry soap recipe that you can start by grating a bar of castile soap in front of the television.
Clean all your wooden surfaces using a liquid castile soap wooden surface cleaner that is a great alternative to traditional Pine Sol or Pledge.
Break out the baking soda to clean your toilet or absorb odors in trashcans and on carpets.
The most important spring cleaning hack of them all is to open your windows while cleaning! Even with green cleaners, indoor air is effected by cleaning products, so you want to release the build up of VOCs and scents!
