Bathing my children, it’s a nightly routine. It’s calming for the children and for me, I like to have the children [...]

My new position as a Great Start Parent Coalition Coordinator has already connected me with some amazing people and opportunities. From parents telling me their stories about how important early childhood education is to hearing Steve Covey speak. Friday I was able to meet Mr. McFeely, the character that delivered the mail to Mr. Roger. [...]

Seventh Generation recently hosted a evening with Dr. Greene (love him) and the Environmental Working Group (love, love, love them) in Boston to talk about chemicals and our children. Talk about an important discussion. I sure wish I could have been there. No worries, I can watch the full WebCast and get the low down [...]

The greatest part of having a “Green” blog, learning about companies that are making an effort to go green and help the environment, it’s inspirational.  This was the reason I started the Mommy Go Green Blog Tours, to help spread the word and connect moms with companies.  A fairly basic concept but for a niche [...]

When my daughter was born (May 2007), I bought and used the well-known products that most parents use, the common brands of lotions and soaps, the standard baby furniture and linens, the cute clothes that were given as gifts. I planned to make my own baby food, and maybe even buy organic foods, but I [...]
