Welcome New Sisters! <\/a>(click for current roster)<\/p>\n

Merit Badge Awardees <\/a>(click for latest awards)<\/p>\n

My featured Merit Badge Awardee of the Week is \u2026 Starletta Schipp!!!<\/p>\n

Starletta Schipp (#1927) has received a certificate of achievement in Cleaning Up for earning a Beginner Level Going Green Merit Badge!<\/p>\n

\u201cI started by collecting all the non-green cleaning products in my home and ended up with a whole laundry basket full – yikes! I spent a lot of money on cleaners.<\/p>\n

\"castile\"<\/p>\n

Next, I created my mission statement:<\/p>\n

Housekeeping and homemaking are natural extensions of caring for my family and will be performed with love with basic, green products that are safe.<\/p>\n

After that, I started researching and experimenting and posting the results on my blog and in the MJF chatroom. I’ve been teaching my daughters also.<\/p>\n

I’m feeling really accomplished with the tasks I have completed so far.<\/p>\n

1. I took my non-green cleaners to our local tox-away site.<\/p>\n

2. I posted my mission statement in my laundry room.<\/p>\n

3. I shared my findings and ‘recipes’ for cleaners in the MFJ chatroom, on Facebook, on Twitter, on Pinterest and my blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. The cleaners I have made so far are: a floor cleaner, a window cleaner, and homemade dishwasher tablets. I use the basic spray cleaner recipe from the Dr. Bronner bottle now too.<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to making my own soap and laundry soap for the next badge level. I’m really enjoying the fresh scent I’m getting from the essential oils I am adding to my cleaners, plus I’m not getting a headache anymore when I clean! Thank you so much for offering this merit badge, which has encouraged me to make this change.\u201d\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
