I’m searching for a way to dispose of my old pieces of fabric that are not good anymore. I can’t find any place that takes old piece of fabric except for wearable used clothes. I have already reused them the maximum I could in making old clothes into rags but what do I do with [...]

While most kids are back in school, mine isn’t (and the day he climbs the bus to head to kindergarten, I will cry a lot and then I’ll promptly proceed to my nearest sofa, because HELLO free time!) but I didn’t want to be left out. We currently use the Foogo stainless steel container when [...]

I have been in the very long arduous process of slowly switching my son over to cloth diapers. It’s a long process because I tend to go overboard on researching things, and there’s a lot of trial and error in the beginning of what’s right for your baby. I had been interested in testing out [...]

I feel like a broken record with this phthalates business and on top of it, running a site like this I hit moments of panic where I feel as though everything around me is potentially harmful. I have to reel myself in once in a while or I start to give myself anxiety and need [...]

Part of being a “SafeMama” for me means improving my family’s quality of life as well as making more efforts to protect our environment with a few small changes. I’m not fully green by any stretch… I’m more of a turquoise or mint green at this point but I am trying to make small changes [...]
