I will admit it. I’m a kid at heart. I still love watching cartoons, kids’ movies and even some preschool shows. One of my new favorite is “Imagination Movers”, a peppy up-beat show featuring a rocking kids’ band – The Imagination Movers.

What is the Imagination Movers? The Imagination Movers is a kids band AND a TV show on Playhouse Disney. The premise is the Imagination Movers work in a large warehouse with the mission to solve people’s problems. Their good friend Nina, whose uncle Knit Knots works in the warehouse too, often brings them problems and helps the movers solve them. The problems can range from the daily problems we all face (how do you cure hiccups) to the hilarious (how do you get a giant pumpkin out the door). By ‘brainstorming’ and learning the Movers solve their problems and make great music.

What do I love about the Imagination Movers? They teach kids the value of problem solving, without being cliche or trite. The enthusasm of the four main characters (Dave, Smitty, Rich and Scott) is infectious without being overbearing. And the songs are just rocking and singable!

Also, there’s a fun story arch (for me at least) about how they can’t get any customers and all the things they do to try and GET customers. In one episode they hang a banner and in another episode they buy some radio ad time.

What is the big idea? If you’re looking for a show that both YOU and your preschooler can enjoy I highly recommend the Imagination Movers. Or if you’re looking for some fun music to enjoy buy one (or all) of their CDs. They’re guaranteed to keep your spirits, energy and imagination levels at all time high, without you wanting to strangle someone.

Palmolive has always been a staple product in my family’s home. I think it started with my grandmother, so I never would associate it with something ‘new’.

So imagine my surprise when, while shopping, I noticed that they had a Pure and Clear option. This eco-friendly liquid dish soap has no unnecessary chemicals, heavy fragrances, or irritating dyes. Palmolive Pure and Clear is also phosphate-free and hypoallergenic. That means this detergent contains biodegradable ingredients packaged in a bottle made with recycled plastic!

The price was right too. At Walmart Palmolive Pure and Clear was around the same price as similar brand-named labels of the same size. In this economy being eco-friendly can sometimes be a strain on the pocketbook, so I was very pleased with the price point (around $3 for a 20oz bottle).

A big problem I have with most green dish soaps is they are weak. They don’t clean grease and they require more soap to get the dishes clean (which often negates the concentrated brands). So, I was dubious when I started using Palmolive Pure and Clear. After all, the regular brand of Palmolive is fantastic on grease so how could a dish soap without most of the regular ingredients in Palmolive stand up?

So I started in on a sink full of dishes and I was pleasantly surprised! Palmolive stood up to greasing pans, caked on gunk and a little went a long way on a sink full of dishes. There’s a fresh clean smell, despite having no heavy fragrance. But it’s not overpowering or synthetic smelling.

Now, Palmolive Pure and Clear removed ‘unnecessary’ chemicals, so it probably still has some chemicals that won’t make it 100% eco-friendly, but if you’re looking to lessen your impact on the world’s pollution, this is a great choice.
