One of the first products to get the boot from our home when I started this journey to a more natural, green life was the little tub of Crayola bathwater colors. We were very loyal customers and my two oldest LOVED to tint their bath water all sorts of groovy colors. But my son was already showing that he reacted to artificial dyes in food and since our skin is our biggest organ it no longer made sense to have him bathe in artificial dyes anymore. If you look at these tubs you have a not-so … [Read more...]

These would go perfectly with the CC lunchboxes or … [Read more...]

My Plate Mate – BPA, PVC, and Phthalate Free
This week my son has been testing a new mom gadget called My Plate Mate. Basically is a band of circular plastic that fits snugly around 8"-9 1/2" inch plates.

I was impressed not so much by the idea of the product as I was the ethical way in which … [Read more...]
