Even though I’m not a 100% Green products-only-at-my-house type of mom, I thought it would be fun to put together a list of ideas for an Eco-Friendly Easter Basket. Here are some of my top picks for a Green Easter Basket to help those of us who want to add a little Green to our children's baskets this year. 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 ...
