We wanted to give you our latest update on the EVA (Ethylenvinylacetat) Foam Puzzle Mats. We were the first blog in the US reporting the recall on EVA foam mats last year and we have received plenty of emails from you all since. EVA can be produced very cheaply, that’s why it’s so widely used [...]
The suggestion that a parent first look at their child’s stool to find signs of food allergies seems completely rational. In the article below, submitted to us by Rebecca Wood, she tells more about the root cause of some types of skin rash, foul smelling stool and food allergies. We additionally like the way that [...]
It breaks my heart that infant formula companies have been trying to persuade women for years that an infant formula is superior to breast milk. It is even more sad to know that their ploy has affected some women’s decision not to breast feed! (I was a formula fed baby, and my mother was lead [...]
OUR LATEST UPDATES FROM NOVEMBER 29th, 2011 CAN BE FOUND HERE! UPDATES ON MAY 5th, 2011: As of today we have become aware of a new concern around foam mat manufacturers and this leads us to personally believe that ALL EVA FOAM MATS are not to be trusted as healthy products. We would personally not [...]
We found this article so interesting, and concerned us so, that we are bringing it to you all today with the permissions to repost by Dr. Janet Hull, Alternative Heath And Nutrition. Diet sodas, chewing gum, Tylenol, and other foods that you may not even be aware of often contain Aspartame, a chemical sweetener. One [...]
We have been receiving some very important emails and comments from our readers. Thank you! One of the common threads that weave the quilt of letters we get from mamas are letters that show our burning desire to do the best we can, and at the same time an empty feeling that maybe we can’t [...]
The photo above shows Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain bars that are sold in Europe and a package of those sold in the USA. Notice anything disturbing? We do! The photo of the Nutri Grain Bars on the left is one that is sold in America, tainted with artificial colors. And the box on the right is the [...]
With the egg salmonella outbreak being one of the worst in twenty years and since outbreaks like Salmonella and E. Coli have been on the rise, we got to wondering if there are natural ways to treat/prevent food poisoning. Nearly 10 years ago I was also hospitalized after eating a McDonalds hamburger. I had become [...]
I was searching for a book that offers a holistic approach with zero side effects to most common health problems and was glad to stumble onto Dr. Randall Neustaedter’s book “The Holistic Baby Guide: Alternative Care for Common Health Problems”. Randall Neustaedter is a licensed acupuncturist and doctor of Chinese medicine who has practiced and [...]
Did you see the PBS show last night titled “The Vaccine War”? Have you been let in on the behind-the-scenes (dare I say) cover-ups yet? It is so disheartening, but not surprising, that a topic of this much concern to parents all across this nation is presented to us as truth when we are only [...]
Do you know what chemicals are in the most commonly used “sensitive” baby detergent? You may innocently believe you are washing your clothes and making them fresh and clean, but you may actually be loading them up with harsh dangerous toxins such as petroleum, phosphates, sulfates, artificial fragrances and colors, chlorine, etc. My children have [...]
Which do you think has the most chemicals in it: your garage or your child’s Easter basket? The answer may surprise you, because brightly colored Easter candies are often full of synthetic food dyes and artificial flavorings. Although these foods are colorful and fun, “parents and teachers alike attribute excessive motor activity and other disruptive [...]
Fresh Organics pulls through again, with flying colors, with their organic Conditioning Shampoo and Body Wash for baby, child (and adults even love it too)! Fresh Organic’s organic bubble bath was just recently awarded our Green Award, and this shampoo/body wash has been awarded our Green Award too! One of our readers commented on that [...]
What feels better in the winter time than a warm, sudsy bubble bath? They are so much fun, but sadly enough many bubble baths on the market for our kids are full of toxic chemicals. Doesn’t put such a smile on my face to steep my child in a tub full of preservatives, synthetic fragrances [...]
It can be overwhelming when you begin to learn about all the toxins that surround your child on a daily basis. We truly believe that making a few small changes will make a profound impact on the short AND long term health and well being of our babies and kids. If you are looking [...]
It is insanely mind boggling how many dangerous toxins readily make up many of the mainstream skin care products targeted for our children. Seriously, if the mass public knew the dangers of rubbing these neuro-toxins and hormone disruptors into the bodies of those we love and cherish the most, major companies would be going out [...]
Every kid loves face paint! But when we read that 10 out of 10 of the face paints that Environmental Working Group tested for lead were positive, we were spooked! That’s not the only scary facts we found out! Additionally, 6 out of 10 of the face paints targeted to Halloween face decorating contained excessive [...]
The first organic gummy vitamins have finally hit the stores and our kids are happy about that! Yes, you read it correctly ORGANIC GUMMY BEAR VITAMINS. Sounds a little bit contradictory doesn’t it? A vitamin and a yummy gummy all in one dose? But check this out…..
This new line of skin care from Skin Free® is fabulous! As soon as I put it on my skin I loved it. Nothing fancy, no long list of ingredients (just a handful on really natural ingredients at most), and zero fragrance. This combo helps to make this a perfect line of skin care for [...]
So much for thinking organic milk was a safe alternative to conventional milk. Well, for many reasons it is a safer alternative (no hormones, antibiotics, etc.) but when it comes to A1 and A2 proteins, organic milk may have them both. I was unaware of A1 and A2 proteins until recently when I was introduced [...]
