I am addicted to smelling household cleaners. 
If I could eat them I would.
Some of my favorites: Tide with Downy, Soft Scrub, Irish Spring soap, and Gain detergent.
I usually dread grocery shopping but I look forward to lingering in the cleaning/detergent aisle. I remember this happened when I was this pregnant with Brock.
Before you judge me, I googled this and apparently I am not the only pregnant girl who salivates when smelling cleaners. I think it's a mild form of PICA and online they say it could be due to an iron deficiency.
My ultimate craving: Lemon Clorox wipes.
I like to hold the container up to my nose and inhale. At least they don't actually have bleach in them.
It feels like I just ate a big piece of chocolate.
I even have a mini Clean Cotton candle that is in my car and I can sniff every time I feel the urge. I know I am WEIRD!
So maybe this kid won't be able to read until he's 10 but at least I am staying away from gas fumes!

Speaking of gas fumes ... I am addicted right now to permanent markers, any kind of solvent cleaner, getting my nails done, and gasoline. Smelling it off anything it dripped on after filling-- hands and shoes!?? Anyway, I remember the same thing last time I was pregnant too. Trust me, you're not alone!!
I wish smelling fresh, household cleaner scents satisfied me the way eating a piece of chocolate does!! I LOVE the lemon clorox wipes too!
Christy...you're strange! :) I remember reading about those strange "cravings" when pregnant. It didn't happen to me. Whatever you do, don't take a swig of any cleaner! :)
You kill me!
You are so cute! You and your household cleaners! At least you have lots around now in case cleaning your house strikes you. In those very rare moments that it does me, I look around, realize I have nothing and go back to sitting on the couch! And I love your background it is so cute!
Ha ha ha....I'm not pregnant and I LOVE the smell of cleaners. I'm a cleaner junkie. Really I love them.
I LOVE all those smells also. They are all so fresh & clean!
Hey, how do you organize the friends list by their last post?? (if that makes any sense) I can't figure it out! If you have time to explain my email is:
