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.

We are happy to promote the “I am Not a guinea Pig” campaign by the Environmental Defense [...]
When I had my baby bath time was fun, but was time consuming and sometimes could be a chore since I usually got into the full size tub with my little infant. I thought having her close to me would make her feel safe, which I’m sure did somewhat, but look at this: Tummy Tub®, [...]
We received lots of emails from confused parents wondering about Bisphenol A (BPA) in the packaging of Infant Formula and decided to do a short post about this topic.

As conscious parents wishing to create as safe, toxin-free environment for our children we know all too well about the estrogen-mimicking chemical of BPA for our little ones. We have switched from plastic bottles and sippy cups to glass or stainless steel, we look for a BPA-Free label on canned goods, and we look for [...]
It seems that a conscious parent can try their best to keep their children unexposed from toxic additives, such as BPA, but the alarming facts are that we keep hearing about these toxins creeping into vessels we are being lead to believe are safe. We both were big fans of SIGG bottles and thought they [...]
