Category: eco-friendly

    I had the distinct pleasure to have been able to try out two different types of eco-friendly “disposable” diapers over the last week.  A great company, Better Baby Bums, which was founded by two mothers who were passionate about finding safer and more earth friendly ways of caring for their children.  They opened Better Baby [...]

      One of the things that was indispensable to me when I was pregnant was the things that were given to me by my parent friends.   Not typical shower items, but things that were thoughtful, practical and most of all, tried and true favorites of theirs.  Being a new parent is overwhelming and there are so [...]

              We’ve already determined that there are in fact safe, affordable teethers made without BPA, PVC and phthalates on the market.
