“It’s so pretty!” was the first thought that popped into my head as I lifted the shiny black piece of Xtrema cookware out of its shipping box. I was in love already – and I hadn’t even used it yet. This eco-friendly line of healthy cookware is handcrafted from natural materials and has a 100% nontoxic ceramic glaze surface. I’m convinced that Xtrema cookware is not only beautiful to look at, but that your health can benefit by using it. Did ...

Tastybrand Organic Snacks For Kids 2-102 (Review & #Giveaway)

Imagine how happy I was to read the Tastybrand Organic Cereal Bar label and see that they are made with nutritious FRUITS and VEGETABLES. I’m not kidding, these whole grain cereal bars are made with fruits and ...

Skin MD Natural Lotion (Review)
Skin MD Natural Lotion is a skin care product I have been using for the past couple of weeks to help heal and moisturize my dry skin. This lotion works differently from other conventional lotions in two ways: First, it helps the inner layers of skin to absorb moisture; second, it forms a shield on the top layer to resist environmental irritants and protect the inner layers’ natural moisture. Lab tests have proven Skin MD Natural Lotion to be 6x ...
Bummas: An Eco-Friendly Wipe For Your Baby (Review & #Giveaway)
First things first: Cloth wipes are not just for cloth-diapered babies – especially Bummas! You can use Bummas cloth wipes in so many ways, everyone should have them on hand, whether they cloth diaper or not. Here are just a few of the reasons I like to use Bummas cloth wipes: 1. Boy babies tend to “spray” (aka “surprise pee”) at inopportune times during a diaper change. ONE Bummas cloth wipe handy can soak it all up! No ordinary wet ...

I’m posting this a few weeks ahead of time since some of these items can be found more easily online than in stores – and I want you to ...
Make Your Own Bubbles Solution: 2 Simple Recipes
My kids will spend hours outside blowing bubbles in the summertime. Although bubble solutions can be fairly cheap to buy, when you go through gallons of it like we do every summer, it can add up. (If your children are like mine, we have frequent “accidents” where entire bottles have been lost in a single spill!) Did you know you can make your own bubbles solution? However, all bubbles solution recipes are not created equally. Believe me, I ...
The Green Mother Goose: Saving The World One Rhyme at a Time (Book Review)
The traditional Mother Goose rhymes have gone green! My children love for me to read and recite Mother Goose rhymes, and in this book, our favorite characters teach us things we can do to take care of our Earth. For example, Old Mother Hubbard uses cloth shopping bags, Little Jack Horner changes lightbulbs in the corner – to compact fluorescents, and in the green version of “This Little Piggy,” the last little piggy squeals, “Re-re-recycle!” ...
