Are the Trees safe?

Okay so this article is a bit old but it's fascinating. Have you ever thought about the trees you've bringing into your household? How many pesticides do they have on them, and is it dangerous. Will these trees have a negative effect on you and your kids, leaving residue on you and in your lungs?

I never thought about it until I read this article. Who would have thought that the beloved Christmas tree would be anything but fun and pretty? Apparently, there are several places that sell tree full of pesticides. There are many local tree farms that have chosen not to spray their trees and wreaths. That's good! Unfortunately, there are many places that actually do spray their tree. YIKES! I don't want pesticides in my house, I know that for sure. My advice, next year when your looking for a Christmas tree go local where you know they don't spray pesticides. You know that's exactly what I'm going to do.

Until next time...
