Just because you’re diet goes out the window during the holidays doesn’t mean your commitment to the environment should too!  This Thanksgiving holiday, was no exception for my family.  I feel that going green during the holidays is even more so important than other days throughout the year.  Holidays bring lots of food which means [...]

In case you missed it, I was the guest last Wednesday on “Natural Moms Talk Radio” discussing the topic of minimalism.  Minimalism can be defined as living a fulfilling life with less stuff.  I am by no means an expert on minimalism, but I feel that it fits well with my passion for the environment.  I consciously try [...]

12/12/11--10:11: Pregnancy in the First Trimester (chan 2528595)

As I was searching through my blog categories, I realized that I have not at all touched on the topic of pregnancy.  Such an obvious topic, with a blog dedicated to babies, but yet I haven’t talked about it at all!  The truth is, during my second pregnancy, I did not blog at all and [...]

As a busy mom, and I am a very busy mom, it is hard to focus on how to feed your children healthy food.  I know I am constantly rushing around and trying eat meals between the madness.  I do have rules when it comes to eating.  Even if we are in a rush, we don’t do [...]


12/19/11--05:03: Your Crying Baby (chan 2528595)

Imagine yourself as an adult in distress, calling for help, only to have people walking by completely ignoring you. How would this make you feel? You can imagine if this happened to you repetitively you could develop anxiety, severe problems with stress, depression and any other countless types of emotional problems. This analogy makes it [...]

My big boy turned 3 on December 8th!   I can’t believe we have a 3-year old.  To celebrate we invited all of our friends and family to a local high school where we brought a rented toddler moon bounce for all to enjoy.  It was the same thing we did for his 2nd birthday [...]


12/23/11--12:05: Guest Post: How to Throw a Green Birthday Party for Your Child (chan 2528595)

My daughter just turned five a few months ago. Before her birthday party, she asked me, “Mom, can we go to McDonald’s for my birthday?” I was horrified. I personally have never taken her to McDonald’s, but I have a sneaking suspicion that one of her friends’ moms has. Needless to say, I had to explain [...]


01/05/12--16:22: Green Cleaning & Your Kids: Things to Think About What’s Safe to Keep Around the House? (chan 2528595)

In choosing a standard cleaner versus a green cleaner, sometimes it seems as if you have to make a sacrifice. Choose a green cleaner, and it seems to not be quite as effective and often cost more off the shelf. Choose a standard cleaner, and you confront the hazards of harsh chemicals in your home [...]

02/03/12--05:05: Greener Birthday Parties For Your Kids (chan 2528595)

So for the first couple of years green birthday parties are pretty easy to pull off. They’re pretty much like any other gathering you would have only with a designated birthday dessert, which you can easily make as natural as you like. Once kiddos get into the ‘themed’ party age bracket where you’re inviting classmates [...]
