Looking for an easy and eco friendly crafting idea to get the family in the mood for Halloween? Of course you are! I can't be the only one who thinks Halloween is the most awesome holiday there ever was. This particular craft uses recycled cans so if you drink anything out of cans you are in luck, you have what you need. If not, you can likely get some pretty easy via Freecycle or from family and friends. For a ghost, paint the can white with non toxic paint, and use a black marker to make … [Read more...]
The Soda Stream for Homemade Soda
For months I have been hearing good things about the SodaStream. It is basically a system for making your own homemade soda.. water, syrup, carbonation... everything.

In response there have been several baby … [Read more...]

Well, it was about time I smarten up here...I will be answering them on the blog so I can just send a link...easy peasy. Q: I think you may be past the point of needing infant formula, but do you have any strong feelings towards any of … [Read more...]
Breastfeeding Is Green – Tips Too
World Breastfeeding Week is coming in August. The goal is too bring awareness to breastfeeding which in actuality seems kinda silly to me. Moms have two feeding implements on their chest at all times and we have to have a national awareness week to make them aware of what they are for?? Hmmm.

I truly believe that … [Read more...]
