I mentioned in our last cloth diaper giveaway that I wanted to feature some of the new cloth diaper brands coming out on to the market. I sadly admit I never quite got hooked on cloth diapering but mainly because I never really found a style that worked for me. So in an effort to [...]

I get an email about those foam puzzle piece mats about once a week. If you have emailed me recently about it and I didn’t respond it’s because I have been rolling this one around in my brain for a while and I don’t have a “best” case scenario to offer you. But what I [...]

I’ve been aware of Microban for a while and I have discussed it somewhat briefly with Jennifer McNichols from ZRecommends last month.

We’ve been getting this question a lot since I released this years Safer Sunscreen Cheat Sheet so I wanted to clarify my decision to exclude it in this years list. I want to preface this by saying one statement. I do not know everything. See? I’m just like you. But I spend a lot of [...]
