Even though I loved cloth diapering, I wasn’t really into what is affectionately referred to in the underground crunchy world “mama cloth.” Which is the term for reusable pads. I gave the diva cup a whirl, and found it uncomfortable, and I really didn’t want to even deal with MORE laundry than I already have. [...]

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 [...]
YoreGanics Review: Soap Nuts (& Giveaway)

I have a confession. I’ve sinned. I’ve tripped over the green wagon. I haven’t fallen off of it entirely, but I’ve had to use not so eco friendly products in recent months, for various reasons. I don’t like it one bit, but I was having some major skin problems, as was my daughter and I [...]

We reviewed EcoStore’s products ages ago. Well, Statia did and I never got around to trying any of them myself. I meant to though. So when EcoStore reached out to me to do another review along with a great giveaway I was so willing and happy to do it. For review, EcoStore USA sent me [...]
Some Quick Friday Green Tips: DIY Carpet Fresh

Filed Under Eco-Mama, Green Mama, Safe Mama Tips | 2 Comments
Having two kids, and two dogs, and a whole lot of in and out foot traffic, I hate having carpet. It makes me feel grimy and dirty and it holds pet odors, dander and hair like crazy. Unfortunately, when we bought our house, 3,000 square feet of hardwoods were just not affordable. So, [...]
Eco-Friendly Eco-Kids Art Supplies

We did a round up of eco-friendly play dough a while back, which was great fun. But we never really touched on other art supplies that are lurking in our cabinets. I’ll admit I have my fair share of the good old traditional stuff like Crayola crayons, and markers. But when it comes to paint [...]

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 [...]
Re-Useable Produce Bags: We love Carebags!

Filed Under Eco-Mama, Product Reviews | Comments Off
A SafeMama reader actually wrote in to us about CareBags a while ago. We as eco-conscious shoppers go through the trouble to bring our own bags to the grocery store but then get to the produce aisle and are faced with plastic produce bags. I was just skipping them but to be honest I hated having [...]
Bamboo Nursing Pads by Bamboobino

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
Posted on: Jul 8, 2009
Filed Under Eco-Mama, product finds, Product Reviews | Comments Off
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. [...]
