I just wanted to let you all know about two new or new-to-me resources for natural families that I like. First off the Holistic Moms Network, of which I am a fan, has released a new cookbook. It is called "Growing Healthy Families". The cookbook is comprised of recipes submitted by holistic and health conscious moms and compiled to make an awesome resource for other moms wanting to cook healthy meals for their family. Growing Healthy Families showcases a variety of nutritional philosophies … [Read more...]
When Your Parenting Style Goes Against the Grain
I recently read an excellent article in a parenting magazine. I related deeply to an article on "Being a Parenting Original".

So....I was quite upset by the show last night. The parents on the show were predictably clueless as is … [Read more...]
Eco Laundry – Just Dropp It
I have not been a fan of conventional laundry detergents for a long time. My general fondness of natural detergents and laundering methods was cemented when I did the research for a cloth diaper detergent chart on one of my other sites.

I have basically taken a ton of different detergents and rated them based upon their use of enzymes, optical … [Read more...]
