A blog reader pointed out to me recently that I never mention alternative and more eco friendly menstrual products. I think I may have mentioned them briefly in the past but I agree I do not mention them nearly enough. Since the time I developed a need for them until my mid twenties I was using what is considered mainstream for menstrual products...disposable pads and tampons. I never really liked either of these options but I wasn't really aware of alternatives. No, I take that back. I had … [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".

The Stars Love Cloth Diapers
I read a few days ago that Dave Matthews of the Dave Matthews Band and participant at the recent Live Earth concert uses cloth diapers for his infant son August, who he says is being raised green. According to Matthews he uses cloth diapers because "diapers are number 3 piece of garbage" in the landfill waste stream. This is starting to be a trend among celebrity parents. Anna Belknap of CSI New York is a Fuzzi Bunz fan. So are Brad Paisely and his wife Kimberly Williams of Father of the … [Read more...]
