Watching our children grow into confident little beings is so touching and it brings so much of our joy to parenting. Bringing my daughter to kindergarten has become one of those milestones for our family recently. My daughter just started kindergarten! Oh my goodness, what a transition. She’s doing so great and I am really [...]
We are bringing back the GIVE AWAY! But don’t worry, we won’t be filling SAFbaby with nothing but Give Aways and product review posts. That is just not who we are. You will continue to find weekly articles that truly pertain to the well being and health of your children and babies! However, we have [...]
I live on Kauai and my family and I have a large garden, chickens we raise for eggs and goats we will one day milk. I feel blessed to be able to know the very source of my family’s food. It’s a wonderful reality in a day where most of our food travels hundreds and [...]
I don’t think that I am alone in the feeling random bouts of sadness and disbelief around what is happening in our world right now. This is suppose to be a world where we can leave our children a future to look forward to. I mean, isn’t that the most important thing to parents, really? [...]
Did you know that most flea and tick collars are potentially toxic to both our children and our pets? Do you know which ones are most dangerous and why? Sadly, when a child pets his or her cat that is wearing a toxic flea collar, they are absorbing a cancer causing and nervous system toxic [...]
Formaldehyde is a popular “cheap” chemical used in clothing, bedding, shoes, furniture, fertilizer, paper, toys, cosmetics, household cleaners and food. In our recent post, The EPAs Lists The Chemicals That Are In Our Environment And Most Dangerous To Our Children, formaldehyde was listed as being one of the strongest toxins with evidence of being a [...]
Our children are surrounded by toxic pollutants, but if we know where they are hiding and we stay away from them the best we can, we can make a positive difference in their overall health and well-being. This information is so important because our baby’s systems are still developing and chemicals that hide in foods, [...]
Did you know that this week is National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week? And because almost one million children in the USA suffer from some form of lead poisoning, we believe that it is important for parents and caregivers to have some knowledge of the teachings of National Lead Poisoning Week. In this post we will [...]
Will genetically modified (GM) salmon become the first genetically modified animal manufactured for human consumption? We sure as heck hope that no such thing as a genetically modified animal be available to us as a food source! And on top of that craziness, if it does hit the markets and it does NOT have to [...]
It’s upsetting to know that the toxic chemicals used in stain-resistant children’s fabrics, pizza boxes, fast food containers, inks, nonstick cookware and many other products (being used on and around our children) are used without being safety tested. We are happy to promote the “I am Not a guinea Pig” campaign by the Environmental Defense [...]
Lead is a serious toxin that surrounds our children in ways we don’t normally recognize. We are reposting this article with permissions from on of the “Lead Ladies” and hope it brings light to the serious nature of lead. We were so surprised to learn how easily this toxin can absorb into our bodies just [...]
Priceless are the memories of my 3.5 year old daughter in the garden with me. We planted our first organic garden this year, and it is 100% trial-and-error. In other words, we are learning as we go. And the process has been so wonderful. My daughter has helped me start seeds in our seed starting [...]
It’s Earth Day today! It’s more important than ever that we as parents take action and are a great example for our kids. Everything we dp has an impact on our mother earth. The way we shop, the way we eat, the way we live. It’s important that we do it all as consciously as [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
The federal law that should protect us from health-harming chemicals just doesn’t work. Since 1976, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has required safety testing on only 200 of the more than 80,000 chemicals on the market. We need a stronger chemical law to keep our families safe and healthy. We have been cautioning our readers [...]
