Disclosure: I received the following product, at no cost, for review purposes. The opinions expressed are honest and are my own. Happy Earth Day!

Our second child was our first baby to be cloth diapered. The decision to cloth diaper was a bit of an evolution of thought for me. I discovered not only now economical cloth diapering your baby is, but also what a large amount of waste I could keep out of landfills simply by putting my [...]
I’ve changed a lot of diapers folks. I’d probably done almost 2,000 diaper changes even before I had children of my own. That’s some pretty good diaper changing experience, I’d say. Though I can’t say it was my mad diaper changing skillz that made my husband fall in love with me, he certainly was impressed that I [...]
When my 2nd son was born I made the switch to cloth diapers. In my search for more information on cloth diapering how to’s I discovered something I’d never heard about before–washable, reusable nursing pads. I immediately embraced the idea of eliminating one more wasteful thing from our lives. When it actually came down to [...]
When looking for a cloth diaper store to purchase from there are a few things I look for. I like smaller, family/mom run stores. I simply feel like I’m supporting someone who is in a similar position as myself. Variety. Even though I don’t use every type of cloth diaper out there (fitted, pocket, [...]
In the consumer world of today, living sustainably is becoming more and more important. Right in line with the importance of sustainable living is the importance of healthy living and healthy eating. Over the past couple years my family and I have become increasingly aware of the importance of these three things, and, in turn, are [...]
When I got pregnant it was a given that we’d cloth diaper our new little one. Like almost all cloth diapering parents will tell you, once you start cloth diapering, you love it! What I didn’t know is if I’d cloth diaper our little one from birth. While there are “one size” cloth diapers that [...]
Earlier this week I had the opportunity of sitting in on a livestream discussion with Deepak Chopra, Seventh Generation CEO John Replogle, and Breast Cancer Fund CEO Jeanne Rizzo. The discussion focused on how petroleum-based ingredients found in everyday personal care, household cleaning, laundry and baby care products adversely affect our health. Our family tries to live [...]
With it being so hot outside this summer sometimes I like to kick back with a cold drink. I love the flavored waters after I exercise but sometimes all I really want is an ice cold diet cola. But with the price of everything going up I feel like buying a 12 pack of soda [...]
I posed a question to my facebook fans a few weeks ago. How many loads of laundry do you do per week? If you’re a mom who’s kids don’t yet do their own laundry chances are you do more laundry every week than you ever imagined possible. Sometimes as I do the mountains of laundry [...]
I don’t know about you guys but I love one stop shopping. Somewhere to go that you can buy everything. I hate having to stop at ten different stores or ten different websites just to get the items I need. Well, over at Hello Baby they have just about everything you need for babies. At [...]
Rubbermaid has recently come out with a new product that, once you see, you’ll just have to have. If you recycle, and you definitely should (though I do realize that not all communities make recycling convenient or affordable), then you’ll love this! The new Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler eliminates the recycle clutter that builds up on [...]
I’m kind of a most things in moderation kind of gal. I don’t have extreme viewpoints. When it comes to being green and eco-friendly I believe that we are stewards of the earth and that it is our job to be good stewards, however, I’m not a zealot. A lot of the eco-friendly products I [...]
