It is the time of year when we might buy a new weekly planner and calendar. This is the first year that I am sporting a GREEN one thanks to Sarah Pinto. Not only is this a GREAT, stylish planner it is eco friendly and made by a mom of two. Sarah wanted to make a fun, stylish planner that would fit well inside a purse for those that like the visual reminder of a weekly planner. These planners measure 5” by 7” and are made with high-quality recycled paper, soy-based ink and they are printed and … [Read more...]
Non Toxic Tots
As parents become increasingly aware of all the potentially toxic products that are marketed to kids it only makes sense that some concerned parents would open stores to provide us with safe alternatives.

Painting Piggy Banks- An Unplugged Project
My oldest was on Spring break this last week and we did a variety of "crafty" projects. One of my favorites was our painting piggy banks project. We ended up buying two ceramic piggy banks at Kroger. My kids wanted some sort of "treat" which is code for toy. I told them my stipulation was that they pick something that will last, that isn't plastic, and that does not have excessive packaging. Mommy is MEAN huh? They picked out two ceramic piggy banks (unpainted) much to my delight and when we … [Read more...]
