Every parent has experienced this: You’re at the grocery store and have to put your child in the cart. But that cart handle looms at you. Did the last child sneeze all over it? Who sat there last? Or how about that dog you encountered on your walk? Your son just stuck his finger in Fido’s nose, and wiping his hands on your shirt doesn’t seem quite thorough enough. (Did you see the drool on that dog???) For My Kids is coming to the rescue with something a whole lot better than the average bleach-filled anti-bacterial sprays and hand cleaners.
For that drooling dog encounter, For My Kids has created a wonderful All-Natural Hand Wash that we’ve been putting to the test around here for awhile. It’s been traveling along in the diaper bag, in my purse, even in the car. My two-year-old son touches everything within reach, and believe me, there’s plenty in his reach I’d rather not talk about. I’ve been able to pull out this All-Natural Hand Wash on many occasions while out and about, away from soap and water. The combination of herbs, which includes lavender, is safe and pleasant smelling. During our vacation, I found this little bottle to be a relief to have along! You can’t imagine what that boy can find in a parking lot. Ick.
For those grocery cart handles, cutting boards, drinking faucets, and other scary germ-filled locations, For My Kids makes a Vinegar of the Four Thieves spray that you can take with you anywhere. (The 1-ounce and 2-ounce bottles are perfect for the purse or diaper bag. Bigger ones are available for the home.) Vinegar of the Four Thieves is a traditional blend that has the ability to stop those nasty germies in their tracks.
If you think For My Kids must have a great lineup of products, you’re right. The good news is, they’re going to share some of it with one lucky dkMommy Spot reader! I have here a great trio any natural mom or dad would drool over. (No references to the previous dog, please.) Here’s what you’ll get: One 2-ounce bottle of the Vinegar of the Four Thieves, one 1/2 ounce tin of Vanilla All-Natural Vegan Lip Balm, and one 1/2 ounce tin of All-Natural Comfrey Salve. That last one is a great addition to the purse as well; use it on cuts, burns, bug bites, and boo-boos in general. This set will come in handy for the whole family – as the mother of one son and two dogs, I speak from experience!

I learned that vinegar has been used for centuries as an antiseptic and that is why the Kids Vinegar of the Four Thieves is made from it.
Nice prizes. My friend swears by vinegar.

There are over a million poisonings a year in North America and 60 percent are children under six most of whom have eaten household cleaners. Cleaning products and services are the leading source of toxic air pollution in homes.
I learned that household cleaners are much more dangerous than I ever knew!

I like how I can feel safer using these products around my kids, such as the Vegan lip balm.
I love how everything is all natural with no chemicals, thats really great!
I found out that: Nepetalactone, which gives catnip its odor, was found to be 10 times more effective than the popular insect repellent diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) without the harmful side effects. That’s awesome. Why aren’t we spreading the word worldwide?
I like the For My Kids All-Natural Comfrey Salve. You don’t see enough comfrey in stuff and it is a great herb!
I would like to try the natural hand wash!

Scary. Human tests have never been conducted on most of the 18,000 chemicals. I need to know what I am using.
