You may have noticed the new “My Blog is Carbon Neutral” button in the La Jolla Mom sidebar. This program was recently brought to my attention and I think it’s a brilliant idea. The “My Blog is Carbon Neutral” program was started by the Make it Green Programme in Germany. In the [...]

You all have heard my grumblings about the mold in my front loading LG washer. The people at Fresh Wave heard too. They sent me a bottle of Odor Neutralizing Fresh Wave Multi Purpose Additive to see if it might help. I know that others are having similar problems based on the response that post [...]

I have a gardener and I spend a decent amount of time working in my yard, but it’s still susceptible to the occasional fungus or insect problem. I hate using chemicals in my yard. I’d rather have bugs or pull out plants with fungus than spray toxic chemicals. We don’t have pets yet, but La [...]

I was thrilled to see these, because we have a bathroom that guests use where I like to have disposable towels or napkins. We seem to have a ridiculous stream of people rotating in and out of our house at all times so it’s not super practical to keep a hand towel in there. Plus [...]

La Jolla Mom loves getting behind eco friendly causes.  Flipswap.com was recently brought to my attention, which is timely because I had just purchased a new iPhone.  I needed to figure out what to do with the my old one (our junk drawer is overflowing as it is) so I did a little bit of research.
I liked [...]

I‘ve had trouble finding a good all around eco-friendly dishwasher detergent.  Some that I’ve tried tend to leave spots on my wine glasses, which are almost always in each load, or food residue on plates.  To be honest,  I was nervous to try Ecostore USA Auto Dishwash Powder and Rinse Aid because I’m a pretty loyal patron of their products.  I [...]

by La Jolla Mom on December 7, 2009

I don’t see many people outside washing their cars anymore.  This might be due to the mandatory water restrictions we now have in San Diego, but I certainly don’t miss the gushing gutter water flowing down our street.  In San Diego, you can still wash your car at home before 10am and after 4pm with a [...]

Last Christmas, I meant to use all LED lights but found our local stores to be sold out or low on inventory.  I didn’t have time to pursue it any further as it was quite possibly the busiest Christmas season our family will ever have. I did find LED C7 outdoor lights, but they were cool [...]

by La Jolla Mom on September 14, 2009

I give full credit to Good Housekeeping magazine for this information.  I get GH only because I got an email from Amazon.com (did you know that you can order magazines from them?) offering a subscription for a ridiculously cheap price.  I’m glad I subscribe because I actually read it every month.
La Jolla Dad decided to make [...]
