More Organic Bedding and Clothing – Less Allergies

For the many parents whose children are (unfortunately) suffering from allergies, there might be a solution or at least a relief: organic baby clothing and organic bedding.
I sometimes feel that the word “organic” is a bit over-used, but when it comes to your baby, it is indeed organic stuff that makes all the difference, so [...]

Kids and Vegetables: It Doesn’t Have To Be a Hate Relationship

Most people that have kids will tell you that they’ve had to “deal” with their child’s eating habits and aversion to vegetables while trying to promote vegetables as a healthy food. It’s true that here’s something about veggies that just makes most kids not want to eat them (well, at least at their own will [...]

Baby Weight Percentile and What It Means

It amazes me still how drastically a woman’s perception of life changes after birth. Yes, we do talk about our babies a lot, but what is more interesting is how we sometimes manage to get competitive over trifle things.
Let’s take baby weight percentiles for example. I once saw two lady friends fight over whose baby [...]

Using Tea Tree Oil As Mosquito Repellent

A lot has been written about mosquito repellents, but there always seems to be a dilemma: you’re either bound to choose a repellent that is good at what it’s supposed to do, but smelly or toxic, or one that’s not efficient, but smells nice and is organic.
Because so many pregnant women and concerned mothers look [...]

Colic Trouble: Helping Your Baby and Yourself

There’s a lot of talk about baby colic, and mostly it’s not something an excited mom would bring up in a conversation. In fact, if you have a baby with colic it’s most likely you don’t look all that excited at all. The fussing and the crying on the baby’s side and the distress on [...]

So of course, I had to put it through the best test of all: children’s soccer. Why not put it through one of the toughest tests there is, from sweating and overheating little bodies, to [...]

The entire list of sunscreens can be found here at EWG’s 2010 sunscreen guide. I look forward to this guide every year, not only to help me choose possibly a new sunscreen, but to see how the one we currently use ranks and well as re-educate myself on the newest sun [...]

EWG Posts The 2010 “Dirty Dozen”

EWG has posted their 2010 list of their Dirty Dozen, the worst fruits and vegetables for pesticides and the ones that we should try and buy organic as much as possible.
I was really disappointed to see that blueberries made it not only to the “dirty dozen” list, but that they made the top 5 of [...]

You can purchase the set of 6 here, [...]

Children’s Book Review: Planetwatch

Planetwatch is a beautiful yet saddening look at our planet.
Beautiful due to the wonderful photos of the absolutely amazing animals and plant life that inhabit our earth; saddening because of the stark truth of the damage that overpopulation, climate change and pollution have done to our earth.
I like the fact that it does not sugar [...]
