- Did you know that there are over 70,000+ synthetic chemicals used in commercial production?
- On average a new type of synthetic enters the market each and every day.
- Due to some crazy trade secret labeling law manufacturers are NOT required to list all the ingredients used to make their product on the product label. That is just INSANE!
- This one is REALLY horrible – Chemical information is required by law on products used in the workplace but it’s not mandatory on products we use in our homes. And according to the National Research Council there is no toxic information available on over 80% of the chemicals used in the products we use every day.
- Here is another scary one – Traces of chemicals can be found on EVERY ORGAN in your body within a mere 26 seconds after exposure. Think about that the next time you mop the floor and your child runs by.
It’s because of facts like the ones I just mentioned that I get more and more worried about the food that we eat and the cleaners I bring into my home. I’m always looking for healthier alternatives.

- Natural & Organic.

I had the pleasure of trying out some of the BabyGanics products and let me tell you they are marvelous! I was pleasantly surprised at how effective the products were at doing their “job”. What made it even better was knowing that my home was clean for my family and our pets afterwards with no worries of harsh chemicals and toxins to make us sick.
Hands down my FAVORITE is the Breathin‘ Easy Air Freshener & Odor Eliminator. It’s a generous sized bottle that uses a non-aerosol pump (you pump it yourself). This stuff smells AWESOME! I am not exaggerating when I say I spray it all day long because I find the scent very soothing and refreshing. Even my daughter grabs it to spray in her bedroom too because she enjoys the scent. It’s scented with Lavender and Vanilla so you can only imagine how beautiful it smells. Instantly bad odors are replaced with a very spring time fresh scent. I am totally loving this spray!
The Germinator, a foaming hand sanitizer, has been a huge help around my house too. It’s not easy to get my kids to use sanitizers but kids sure to love things that foam. The Germinator goes on well and dries very quickly. There is really no scent to it (in my opinion) which is fine with me. It also does dry out your skin like alcohol based sanitizers do. Your hands just feel “clean” after you use it. Sometimes when I use sanitizers I end up washing my hands afterwards because I really don’t like how they feel, but I did not feel that way with The Germinator.
The Dish Dazzler is a dish washing solution that is in a pump bottle. It’s a foam which of course made my kids happy (well, almost) to do their dishes. They just pumped some of the foam on the sponge and started washing. Again, there is something about foam that kids love. I guess because foam is fun.
I liked how well the dishes washed using the Dish Dazzler. It was just as effective as any other dish soap we have used in the past however the Dish Dazzler is a much healthier alternative. The pump bottle is a nice size too which means you can wash A LOT of dishes with just one bottle.
I also had a HUGE bottle of Grime Fighter which is an all purpose spray. Mine was scent free but I know they carry a Lavender scent which is what I’ll get next time. We used the Grime Fighter to clean EVERYTHING…the stove, the counter top, the fridge, the floor…you name it. It cleaned everything well. In fact afterwards everything just seemed fresh as if we used soap and water. There was no residues or harsh smells in the air. I love it! Often when I clean I have to open a window because I can’t stand the smell. With the Grime Fighter I didn’t have to do that at all. I actually felt a sense of relief, if you can understand what I mean, knowing that after I cleaned my home was CLEAN from toxins and chemicals too. Somehow the place just seemed that much cleaner. Plus with the all purpose cleaner I can have my kids help clean without having to worry about them using “poisons” which is what I refer to traditional cleaners.
The products I have are all included in BabyGanics Healthy Home Essentials Kit. The kit is VERY well priced too. Only $19.99 for the all purpose cleaner, hand sanitizer, dish soap and the wonderful air freshener. If you think about how much you typically pay for things you use to clean your home you’ll see that the BabyGanics products are either similarly priced or even cheaper. For the peace of mind knowing that you are not using things harmful to your family I think that far outweighs the cost too. You can’t put a price tag on your health and peace of mind.

Playskool has a new type of “bristle” like blocks on the market today called Clipo Blocks. They are available from many toy retail locations. The colorful blocks are a perfect size for little hands to grasp and manipulate.
I recently gave my nephew a Clipo Hippo. He’s part of the Clip collection. And let me tell you he’s adorable! The well constructed little purple hippo with the big expressive eyes is the perfect addition to any Clipo collection, or as a “stand alone” toy too.
Clipo Hippo comes with a set of Clipo blocks in all shapes, sizes and colors including a sweet little yellow bird. If you have watched any animal documentaries you’d see that often Hippos have little “friends” that like to hang out with them (or shall I say on them).
There are so many different ways you can play with the Clipo Hippo set. The Clipo Hippo has wheels so your little one can zoom him around the floor like he would a car or other moving vehicle. My nephew had a blast whisking the Clipo Hippo around the floor. My nephew is a typical boy whose into trucks, cars and trains so it goes without saying that anything on wheels is going to amuse him. Even the Clipo Hippos wheels have the bristle toy texture on them so you can stick the blocks on the wheels too.
One of my nephew’s favorite features about the Clipo Hippo is the fact that his mouth opens up wide. And it stays open too so there is no worries about the mouth falling down and taking a “bite” out of your little one’s hand. The Clipo Blocks easily fit inside the Hippo’s mouth. My nephew found it amusing to put other blocks in his mouth as well as some other small toys that he has. It was as if the Hippo was “eating” the blocks and toys. You can even move the Hippo’s mouth up and down to mimic “chewing” (my nephew laughed when I did that).
The Clipo Hippo’s back also lifts up so you can store the blocks that way too (or other small toys). The back lid stays open too. Both the back lid and the mouth “click” when you open and close them which I think my nephew liked the sound too.
The Clip Hippo comes with a nice starter set of Clipo Blocks (more sets are available for purchase). The Clipo Hippo came with five green squares, three orange squares with cut outs in the middle, four red triangles, four pink circles and two blue rectangles. I wish the set contained more rectangles. I think you could “build” more things with it, but that is just my opinion.
The Clipo Blocks are great for teaching your child colors (my nephew is good with his colors), shapes, counting, sorting and other fun activities.
Clipo Hippo is a super fun toy for little ones that is also a great educational tool. It’s a quality made product and is sells for a good price. I have seen the price range from $12.99 to $24.99. The average retail price is about $19.99. It’s a good price for this toy too.
Clipo Hippo is available at Walmart, Amazon, Toys R Us, Target and all other toy retailers.
