April 20, 2010 Organics

While I think it is important for Mom to have an organic skincare regiment (see why), it is even moreso for your babe.

As you are probably aware, I am still breastfeeding my youngster and it only makes sense that what I put on and in my body goes to her as well. So, I was thrilled when Jim Kueny from ONEgroup/Miessence contacted me to try some of their products. I had heard about Miessence, but had never tried anything made by them. I will try to break the info in this post down to the essentials along with an overview of my thoughts on the products I tried.

Organic Fibers: The Basics

March 3, 2010 Organics

A baby’s skin is precious and sensitive. Think about it – they come stright from the protective womb into an environment that is shockingly harsh. Bright lights, clothing, diapers, etc. Whoa, what a change! Both my girls have sensitive skin, which is one of the many reasons I try to buy as many organic products and fibers as possible – for all of us. I will get into products in another post, but today let’s dive into the discussion of organic fibers. The most common organic fibers are: wool, cotton, bamboo, hemp, and soy. Here is why these fibers better for you and your kids.

I have boxes of old cards just waiting for me to do something with them. I could recycle them, but I haven’t been able to part with them. I am going to use the cards for scrapbooks! I thought it would be great to incorporate some of the Valentine’s Day hearts, Christmas angels, anniversary couples, new baby card rattles, and all those beautiful flowers (that adorn most cards) into my scrapbook page designs. Here are some fantastic scrapbooks for inspiration …

Friday Find: Eco-friendly Stationery from Paper Culture

December 18, 2009 Going Green

I have a confession: I have a “thing” for stationery. It’s borderline an obsession. It isn’t very “green” of me, I know. But there is just something special about sending out a pretty baby shower invitation, announcement, holiday card, or birthday party invitation. I think I found a way to make up for the guilt: Paper Culture – eco-friendly and made from 100% recycled material.
