Introduction to Cloth Diapers

Entering the world of cloth diapers can be daunting. There are SO many diaper choices and numerous different styles.

Eco-friendly Cribs

Following up the eco-friendly crib mattress post, I’ve had some people recently ask me where they can find eco-friendly, natural cribs. This can be a tough one to find as well, since many cribs these days are coated in toxic finishes, not to mention made with some not-so-pleasant chemicals and glues. There are all sorts of… [Read More]

Eco-friendly Crib Mattresses

Babies spend more than half their days sleeping. On average, until they are 6 months, a baby will sleep about 15 hours each day, and still around 14 (sometimes more) by the time they are one year old.

Many of the commercial baby wipe solutions out there today are full of nasty chemicals. Common ingredients like alcohol, perfume/fragrance and chlorine can be irritating to anyone’s skin, and even more so to the delicate soft skin tissue of a baby. Many mainstream wipes also contain parabens such as methylparabens. Talk about the hazards of… [Read More]

Eco-friendly Gift Guide for Kids

With Christmas quickly approaching, I’ve compiled a list of some of my favourite eco-friendly, great quality toy companies, along with a few other ideas. The first couple years for a child are really just about learning about and experiencing the magic that is Christmas. They don’t need much, really. My son was way more impressed… [Read More]

Natural Teething Remedies

As you try, for the 100th time today, to attempt to make yourself something to eat, your baby shrieks the moment you put her down. She’s gnawing at everything in sight, her chin is red from the constant drool, and you’re exhausted from getting no sleep last night.

Making Time for Mom

Making Time for Mom

Alone time. What’s that? If you’re a mom, you’re quite possible in the same boat as me. Some days, okay, most days, I feel like my needs come last in the whole scheme of things. From the second our eyes open in the morning, it’s all about the kids. Getting everyone changed and fed, answering 800… [Read More]
