A giveaway!

What better way to start off a brand new blog than a giveaway! I was inspired after reading a post about Heavenly Homemaker's Springtime Giveaway Carnival. She has a lot of giveaways posted!

I am a member of bzzagent, where basically you get to try new products if you share them with your friends. In my last campaign I got to try the new Nature's Source cleaners from SC Johnson. Being a natural, toxin-free, vinegar and baking soda kind of mama, I was excited to see a greener choice from a big name-brand company.

If you've seen my shower, you know about my constant battles with hard water. Nasty icky stuff. I've tried my old standby of vinegar. I've tried lemon juice. I've tried scrubbing with baking soda. And honestly, our shower remains pretty nasty. So I will admit that I was pretty impressed with the Nature's Source shower cleaner. It broke up a lot of the ick and required a lot less scrubbing.

They make several other types of cleaner, too. My one complaint? They still use synthetic fragrances. Booo. But if you're still using conventional cleaners and you want an easy way to do greener cleaning, check it out.

Now for the giveaway: One reader will win a free bottle of your choice of Nature's Source cleaner! To enter, leave me a comment below and let me know which of their cleaning products you would like to get. For an extra entry, post the contest on twitter and let me know you tweeted in a second comment. Make sure your e-mail address is in your profile, or leave it in your comment. I'll pick a winner on Fri, May 1st. Good luck!

UPDATE: The winner for the contest is Tracey! Congrats Tracey, and thanks to everyone to entered! I will have more giveaways soon - keep checking back for more.

I'm a fan of a good all-purpose cleaner, but our biggest issue at the moment is the toilet, so I'd have to say their natural toilet bowl cleaner :-)

I actually have not seen any of these products, but I battle hard water, as well. I guess an all purpose cleaner would help with that?

Thanks for the give-away!

Thank you for joining in the Give-away Carnival! Like you I have terrible hard water so the shower cleaner sounds like it may help.

Thanks again,
