It's about time cleaning products are held accountable for those "seceret ingredients" they've been hiding under their radars for so many years. There's no telling what toxic junk we have all been spraying in the air and on surfaces thinking we are doing good. In reality, we are doing great harm to ourselves and the environment. Not to mention the damage it could be causing to infants and young

What Are The Benefits of Bamboo in Baby Clothes? When it comes to organic baby clothes, bamboo is the best option for babies. It’s naturally hypo-allergenic and anti-bacterial, it prevents odor, allergies, and skin irritations. Bamboo is an exceptional choice for parents that face the challenges of sensitive skin conditions such as eczema.Additionally, bamboo is a thermal-regulating fabric,

I am a proud mother of a new baby boy, Camden! He was born July 5 and weighing the average 7.9 lbs. I remember the first time I was able to hold him was shortly after my C-section. He was brought to me in those generic hospital receiving blankets. You know what I am talking about. The small white blankets with blue and pink stripes. Well, it's the perfect swaddle blanket the first few weeks. In

Plastic is the number one substance used in our society for the storage of food and beverages for consumption. Plastic is easy and cost efficient to make, it is nice and clear so we can see through it, and it is quite durable. However, hiding out inside most plastics are substances that are harmful to you and your children. Bisphenol A, better known as BPA, is a key building block in plastics. In

If you haven't already made the switch to organic cotton I promise all it takes is just one purchase of an organic onesie for your baby and you are hooked! Organic cotton is soooo soft! When my first son was born I never even heard of organic cotton. But as I have become more Eco-conscious and green minded, organic cotton is the way to go (especially for newborns.)It is grown without the use of

Insects, they love me. Especially the kind that bite! Every year before my son was born I was the first in line to purchase insect repellent at the start of bug season. Living in the south bug season starts in April and ends in October (if I'm lucky.) I never thought once of reading the ingredients in insect repellent. My main concern was did it work! Then my son Bryan was born. Unfortunately

You would think that chemicals would have no place in your child’s body lotions and creams, shampoos, bubble bath and even toothpaste, but think again. We take the time to read the ingredients in the food we eat but have you ever stopped to read the labels of these common skincare products we all use on our little ones everyday, including ourselves! Did you know that the skincare and cosmetics

I am 20 weeks along (halfway through) my second pregnancy and I have to say this time around has been a completely different experience. With my first son Bryan I was lucky not to have any morning sickness. My skin had that “pregnancy glow” and my energy was high. Well, the complete opposite is true with this pregnancy. I had morning, noon and night sickness. There were many nights my husband had
