A must-read guide !!!!!!!! 2010-07-24

Reviewer: Veronica

This is a must-read guide to get answers to so many questions about what healthy, organic, natural, etc. There is so much information out there that it is confusing but this book is concise, precise, and her way of writing is kind of a "face-to-face" talk. I love it!!!!!

My new favorite book 2010-05-31

Reviewer: A. MURDOCK

I have to upfront admit that I am not a "green" minded person. It makes me think of tree huggers, environmental lawsuits, global warming arguments and part of me immediately wants to run the other way. That being said, this is still my new favorite book. I wanted to know about how to live healthier in our own home, and how to save money, and know what chemicals are out there that we could learn to avoid. Sara Snow did all of that in one book. We've started to look for health friendlier products, we've got the entire family recycling, and we are "living well" as she would say. I love that there are tips all through the book on how to make cleaners for your home that are safe for everyone, kids, parents, and in our home, puppies. It is an awesome and eyeopening trip when you start reading this book. It is good for your health, and I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

Should be in every home! 2009-11-12

Reviewer: Christine Arrocena

I believe that every home should have a copy of this helpful guide.

I myself wish I could have had a book like this BEFORE I started having children, I would definitely have been more mindful of my purchases for my kids from birth and on into their childhood. I was especially shocked to learn that even the mattresses and pillows and furniture we buy gives out toxic fumes that may be harmful to all of us, but especially to our children. What I always thought was "new" smell was most likely the gasses emitting from these items!

Thank you Sarah for providing a helpful family guide for busy moms like me!

never too old to learn new tricks 2009-10-04

Reviewer: Jennie Murphy

I'm 60 years old and have just reintroducted myself to more natural living - downsizing to a small home and joining a organic co-op community. This book was inspiring and easy to follow with some real ideas!! I, like many others, got caught up in the more is better movement, however it never felt right. Sara's book and show on Discovery Health make me feel better about life because I'm not only making my life healthy, but doing my small part to save the earth. I too checked this book out of the library, but will buy it because it is really a reference book on green living.

Simple, Fresh 2009-08-20

Reviewer: Shannon Kazmierczak

I've watched Sara Snow on television before but actually found out about her by watching John and Kate plus 8 (oh dear). I saw her book on the library shelf and immediately checked it out. I needed to return it before I was done using all of her helpful hints. By the time I was able to check it out again it was gone and had to get it inter-library loaned. I realized if I liked a book this much it should be in my collection. Sara gives great ideas for greening every part of your home but makes it really simple. Her web site references are helpful and useful. This book has definitely been a great reference for me as I am slowly freshening my home with healthier ways to live.
