I made a rookie mom mistake today. I started reading a book to my two youngest kids and didn't read through it myself first. I assumed since it is was an eco themed kids book that I would like it. I didn't like it an regret reading the first 5-6 pages to my 3 and 4 year old kids. I don't like to do negative reviews when it comes to small business or mom products so I won't name the book. But the experience showed me that not all books in the eco kids niche are created equal. I want to talk … [Read more...]

N is for Nature Children's Book Review

It just depends on my mood at the time but a green clean is not negotiable. Better Life Green Cleaners are a nifty new option for green moms. They are called better life because as parents … [Read more...]
Preserve Colanders – Recycled and BPA Free
All this week I have been using a Preserve colander in the kitchen. There is just no better kitchen gadget than a colander for washing all the fresh fruits and veggies we eat. Our colanders also do double duty as produce bowls on the counter when they are not in use. I am loving my Preserve colander too. Preserve is no stranger company to me. I am already a big fan of their toothbrushes. What I love, love, love about Preserve... other than their fantastically designed products... is the fact … [Read more...]
