Filed Under Healthy Home | 5 Comments

I know for certain, that my turning point with making a safer home, was when I had my first child. It opened my eyes to everything around me and essentially yanked my head out of the hole it was hiding in (ostrich style). For others, it came less abruptly, or when they adopted a pet [...]

I have featured our sponsor Baby UR Precious here on SafeMama before… I review their wonderfully soft hooded baby towels which remain one of my favorite items, until now. They specialize in products made of this luxurious organic bamboo material that is so soft… I just weep. I was always jealous of the towel until [...]

As a follow up to my piece on Cast Iron Cookware and Care, I wanted to continue my dialogue with Kristen from MightyNest who has some deeper knowledge on what’s safe in the kitchen and what carries some risks. She has really done some homework on this topic so I wanted to share this with [...]

I want to change gears from the dramatic stuff to something a little more fun. I have a ton of things to post in the coming week. So to kick it off, I wanted to talk about sippy cups. Ok I know we have exhausted the sippy cup angle around here in years past but [...]

Safer Cooking: All Sources Point To Cast Iron

One of my New Year’s resolutions this year was to green my kitchen. I go through the trouble and expense to buy organic food and use safer dishware, but that all goes out the window if I’m using a pan that could be leaching harmful toxins into the food I’m preparing. (I am no Eric [...]

I’ve been getting fit this year. Part of that means doing some Yoga which I’ve fallen in love with. I run now (without being chased by a bear) and Yoga seems to align my body and keep things in working order better than I could with any other exercise. So once I started Yoga regularly, [...]

If you’re like me, you love it when your kids bring home those little hand print painted crafts they make at school. I often wonder what’s in the paint they are putting on my kids hands. Unless you want to supply the class with natural paint, it’s one of those things you kind of deal [...]

I was just discussing the implications of Tide with a reader recently. She asked me “Is it really that bad?”. I’ll be the first to admit that my laundry detergent was one of those things you had to pry out of my hands (and then I cried a little at the thought of dingy clothing). [...]

Finding eco-friendly fashion can be somewhat of a challenge, especially if you don’t want your wardrobe to look eco-friendly. So when I was introduced to Patagonia Shoe Company, I was really impressed with the quality of their shoes. I have one lone pair of eco-friendly sneakers I bought 2 years ago that I love, but [...]
