Review and Giveaway: Good Clean Fun Natural Bath Products

by Chrystal on September 2, 2010

When we were living in Uruguay, we didn’t have a bathtub and Zoë got very accustomed to taking showers. So, we were really excited to have a bathtub when we got back to the States.

The Environmental Impact of Synthetic Corks and Screw Top Wines

A couple weeks ago, I stumbled across a website that is protesting the use of synthetic corks and screw tops in wines because they are not environmentally friendly. Surprisingly, this is something I haven’t thought about before. I try to make environmentally friendly choices with my purchases, and my “adult beverage” of choice is wine, [...]

Book Review and Giveaway: Organically Raised by Anni Daulter

August 23, 2010

I consider myself a pretty good, from-scratch cook (my husband and I even wrote a from scratch cookbook for expats when we were living in Uruguay), but sometimes it can be a challenge to come up with new recipes that are both healthy and tasty—especially on busy nights. I received a copy of Organically Raised: [...]

A Binkie-Free Home

August 18, 2010

We’re finally a binkie-free home! Yep, we finally broke Zoë of the habit just over a month ago. I really thought it was going to be a lot harder than it was. Right before we left Uruguay, she bit a bunch of holes in one of her last binkies. So, I went and bought one [...]

August 16, 2010

As if the recall on Tylenol and other children’s medications back in May wasn’t enough, now there’s more scientific evidence to avoid giving your child Tylenol and other acetaminophen products.

I Can Do It Myself!

August 11, 2010

In the last week or so, Kaylee has decided that she no longer wants me to feed her… she wants to feed herself. If I try to feed her a bite, she grabs the spoon out of my hand and won’t give it back. Now, at just shy of 6 months, she’s still working on [...]
