As a parent this is a topic

As a parent this is a topic that is always on my mind, I am responsible for the buying of supplies in our home and have noticed that there is a heavy theme of 'nice' smelling and brightly coloured cleaners out there.
Where ever i can I use natural cleaners in our home, Vinigar, lemon juice, baking soda are all stapeles here. When ever I do buy comercial cleaning products, I never go for the lovely 'apple' scented or ocean breeze yadda yadda.... I was told once that " a scented turd is still a turd" so that is my mantra.

My girls are older now so i am not worried about them sneeking a sip of the cleaners. My biggest concern more than the cleaners has always been the 'tasty' medicines... I have always thought that it was insane to have yummy medicine, I think that if you need medicine it should taste nasty, and the nastier the better.... I never have kids who run to the medicine bottle to 'cure' them of any ills, I know that if they are looking for some medicine they are needing it and want to feel better, a nasty medicine is bad but it is ok when chased with some cranberry juice or something like that. "A spoonful of sugar" If you will.
