The typical baby shower involves massive amounts of baby paraphernalia gifts that the soon-to-be mom often doesn’t really need. A friend of mine recently asked me to make a list of eco-friendly baby shower gift ideas. This list includes babywearing items, bpa-free bottles, teething toys, clothes, and beauty products for babe. You don’t have to be invited to an “eco” baby shower to give a green gift.

Consumer awareness is emerging at an all time high. People are concerned about what they are putting into their body, where their products are coming from, and how their products are made. This is a great time to be a consumer and we can only hope that people continue to make ethical decisions that will force companies to make ethical decisions. One of the more predominant issues recently surrounding the news has been the amount of BPA in products, specifically baby products. Well I am here today to give another BPA free update.

Now that the green movement has gained some momentum, many families who are expecting a baby may be wondering how they can make healthier household choices before their baby comes. Here are 3 easy changes you can make to go green for your baby, and create a safer environment for her and the rest of your family!

Hello again everyone, hopefully everyone’s weekend was good?

Late last week Health Canada issued their report on Bisphenol A (BPA) in consumer products, most notably in infant and children’s products.

the danger of synthetic estrogen can effect us all. So what can you do to avoid this toxin and provide a safe home for your family.?

A new study released by a government institution found that exposure at low doses of BPA may lead to breast and prostate cancer.

The news that the US government is finally taking a skeptical look at BPA was no surprise to the many parents who've been burning up the Internet for years talking about safe alternatives to BPA. What will it take to make all Americans aware? A list of resources.

Did you know that there are 80,000 synthetic chemicals registered for use in the United States? As a green parent, the mama bear in me comes out and I feel the need to protect my children from the effects of such chemicals.

So I decided to try several different BPA free sippy cups and see which ones made the grade. I reviewed the Klean Kanteen, Sigg, Born Free, Foogo, and Avent Naturally sippy cups/bottles. You will hear what I think and what my kids think. So let the battle begin….may the best sippy cup win.
