It is that time of year again. I love the holidays but lets be honest, it can be a bit stressful with everyone coming over for get togethers and parties and wanting to make sure that your house is clean but where do you start.  Clean mama has came to the rescue with help for us, but more on that in a bit Let me first start by saying that i have not tried Mrs. MEYER before. I have had some issues finding products to use to clean that will not cause any break outs. I have allergies to the point of having to carry an epi pen, and sometimes some chemicals trigger them. I noticed that Mrs. Meyers came out with peppermint and pine scents so i had to try them out. Let me just say that i was blown away!!   Lets talk about the scents.
