    If there’s one thing that I love, when it comes to cleaning products, it’s options.  If there’s another thing that I love, in regards to cleaning products, it’s local.   And I’m lucky enough to have both in my area.  I’ve long seen Sun and Earth products on my local store shelves.  I had no [...]

      As I get more particular about what products touch my kids skin, the less options I seem to find myself faced with.  However, serendipitously I was contacted by Rocky Mountain Soap Company because a few of our wonderful readers contacted them asking if we’ve reviewed their products.  You have been holding out on me folks!

        With my new addition to the family I’ve been reconsidering a lot of things I used the first time around, including our baby tub.  I had a basic blue baby tub with the infant sling attachment and my son always screamed through baths as a little baby.  Only did he start liking being bathed when I [...]

          Having a new baby around has certainly brought back some memories.  Great ones, and memories of all the products I used with my first son before I knew much about anything.   This time I have a chance to make some changes and use safer alternatives and try to “green” up the process of raising a [...]

          Elements Naturals Baby Wipes

            As evident by our Baby Wipes Showdown we did a while ago, baby wipes can contain some pretty nasty and unpronounceable ingredients.  For something you’re using daily on your baby and tossing into a landfill it’s great to be able to pick something a little less toxic and a little less tough on the earth.  [...]

              It’s my birthday. So I decided to review a product by a company that I really love and admire.  Badger!  I got a mysterious package from them yesterday with some awesome samples to try out – and a handful of my most favorite thing on earth, lip balms.  So since they made my birthday brighter [...]

                When I started revamping the Sunscreen Cheat Sheet for this season I always had “kids” in mind for trying out products.  Never did I think I’d find one that I love more for myself than my kids.  I’m not a sun worshiper (and if I could go back to my teenage years and slap some [...]

                  I have friends and family who have been using Bumkins SuperBibs for years.  Only until I won a cool giveaway from Bumkins did I get the chance to try them out.  Bumkins bibs are made in the USA  with a soft waterproof fabric.  They are in fact soft like they claim and have a “catcher” [...]

                  Review: Badger Sunscreens!

                    We recently published our Safer Sunscreen Cheat Sheet for this year and in doing so, I went ahead and tried out some brands I hadn’t tried before.  You know, all in the name of fun in the sun.  I knew I had to try Badger’s sunscreen first since I have heard so many different things [...]

                      With the rainy days of spring upon us, along with school breaks finding kids at home saying “I’m booooored!” I thought doing a play dough comparison would be fun.  I don’t really know the specifics of what traditional Play Doh is made of, I believe its a proprietary recipe but the day glow colors make [...]
