Hi there I have been a little quiet again I know… but it’s due to my spending a lot of time doing research for some new things here. First up, I would like to announce that I have the 2012 Bug Repellent Cheat Sheet up and available to you via the Cheat Sheets Department (where [...]

Since the onset of the California Baby reformulation situation, moms have been asking about other products to ease the discomfort of eczema and dry skin on themselves and their babies without irritation and extra synthetic ingredients. This is a hard job because no product is going to be the exact same thing. Based on the [...]

Normally I’d just publish a post for a cheat sheet but I’m trying to convert them all to actual pages so that the url’s are tidy and you can find them easier from one central location, which is the Cheat Sheet Shop. From there you can find all my cheat sheets and when they get [...]

Believe it or not, there are actually quite a few different brands of spray-in detangler out there. It’s a bit of a hunt to find them, but I managed to come up with 8 different brands of safer detanglers. I want to be clear that these are safer options, not completely chemical free, [...]

It’s the next generation of cheat sheets! The BPA Free Sippy Cup cheat sheet was one of my very first cheat sheets. As we’ve all grown and learned more, the more I think it’s important to try and avoid plastic all together when we can. Sure, there is BPA free plastic, and that’s better. But [...]

A while back we did a quick write up of safer alternatives to lunch boxes when all that “lead in lunchboxes” hoopla went down. Since then there are so many great alternatives to lunch boxes available that it totally warrants a new cheat sheet. Lunchboxes are perfect for little and big kids and help reduce [...]

For years and years, I was a Tide girl. I loved my Tide in all its stain fighting glory (especially with a husband who is a habitual leaver of lip balm in his pocket and my rule is, I do the laundry, I don’t check pockets) and optical brightening power. Then I read about phthalates [...]

One of the first things that went in my house when we started to green (during the whole BPA boom of ’07) was conventional cleaning products. Since then, we’ve tried many green cleaning products. And of course, what do we SafeMama girls do best? That’s right, my friends, cheat sheets. We’d be remiss if we [...]

NOTE! Please visit the latest updated Bug Repellent Cheat Sheet here! It’s probably not a shock that products containing DEET, are not on our recommended list. DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) is a widely used active ingredient in insect repellents. Biting insects are attracted to the scent of carbon dioxide gas to find food… in this case, your [...]
