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 symbol bans the placing (in the European Union market) of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed levels of lead, cadmium, [...]
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 [...]
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 live on an island, so it’s no surprise that it is VERY important to me that my child knows how to swim. Regardless of where we live, having the freedom to enjoy water and be SAFE around it is something that every parent wishes for their children. True? So, when we heard of Schlori [...]
Nap mats are designed to keep our precious children cozy during quiet nap times in day care, preschool and kindergarten. They are not suppose to be a toxic breathing space that may affect the long term health of their brain, nervous system, respiratory systems and (oh yeah) endocrine systems.

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 [...]

Making baby food for your baby is a wonderful gift. For a baby to receive the nourishment of whole foods, cooked from your garden or local farmer’s market to the table is the best! But sometimes it really is a little too time consuming to make each meal fresh. Freezing your own cooked baby food [...]
When my daughter was an infant she did not like taking baths and we always had to rush through it – it wasn’t pleasant for both of us, including my back. I also found out later, that the tub I’ve been using was made of toxic PVC, like practically all bath tubs on the market [...]
Here is our take on this pvc-free and eco-friendly diaper bag by FleurVille. I mean, we are both moms (Sandra ready to be a mama AGAIN) so we have had our fair share of experience with diaper bags. And we never really have fallen for a diaper bag until now. Most diaper bags are huge, [...]

When we read Mark Schapiro’s comment in Mothering Magazine in the December issue regarding China manufacturing plants having 2 different assembly lines for the same toy, (one with the toxic substance phthalates permitted and made for sale in the USA, and the other assembly line safer, made for sale in Europe) we knew we had [...]
Surprisingly enough, just because a manufacturer states that all toys are PVC-free, does NOT necessarily mean that the packaging they sit in and are brought into your home with are! Take Tiny Love™ for example. A respectable company with really cute products, but infant toys such as their play gyms are packaged in PVC! Nothing [...]
