green the new BUZZ word
Every where we look nowadays we see and hear about going green. It’s a buzz word during award shows and even that stars are using it.
While Halle Berry was pregnant she was reported as saying that she wants a “green” nursery for her new baby. Now that her new baby is born I wonder if she did indeed go green.
Don’t get overwhelmed by doing a complete overhaul start off by making small changes, changes you know you’ll be able to stick to. But start now.
I just purchased one of my first eco-friendly shopping bags and whole foods and plan to get enough to use for grocery shopping.
Next on my list is to purchase reusable water bottles from filterforgood.com and eliminate the Arrowhead water bottles we buy from Costco every weekend. We are consuming nearly a case a week!
If we work together and make small changes, we may be able to save this planet.
Go green, now that’s hot!

Where do you purchase BPA absolved bottles?
Adiri BPA Free Nurser – I love these bottles, especially if you are transitioning from breast milk to bottle feeding. These bottles have only 2 peieces which makes them easy to clean. In addition, there are three nipple sizes available. The only downside to these bottles is that you have to purchase a brand new bottle whenever your little baby outgrows the nipple size.
Born Free Bottles – These are the BPA free bottles we chose and they are working out great. They have an extra piece to reduce colic; but they perform okay without it. My spouse has forgotten to add it one or two of times. I love these bottles as they don’t leak while mixing the formula.

5 reasons you should try cloth diapers
I never even considered using cloth diapers until I spent two days at the ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas. There were several different manufactures and various packages. I was amazed at how different cloth diapers are now and how simple they seem to be.
When my sister had her first child almost 15 years ago she used cloth diapers. She used a diaper service back then; needless to say it didn’t last long. So when I had my daughter the thought never crossed my mind.
Now as I prepare for the birth of my second child I am strongly considering giving cloth diapers a shot. So I compiled a list of five reasons why I am considering cloth diapers and why you should too.
- Cloth diapers are healthy for your baby –
Did you know there is a toxic chemical present in disposable diapers, called Dioxin. The chemical in various forms has been shown to cause cancer, birth defects, and skin disease. This toxic chemical is a by-product of the paper-bleaching process used in manufacturing disposable diapers so it’s possible that trace quantities may exist in the diapers themselves. - Cloth diapers are better for the environment –
Did you know disposable diapers are the 3rd largest single product filling up the nations landfills. I guess they aren’t as “disposable” as they claim. - Cloth diapers are just as convenient –
These aren’t your mothers’ cloth and pen diapers. Cloth diapers now are fitted with elastic in the legs and back area; they have easy hook and loop closures and some even have snaps. You can choose from different fabrics, colors, sizes, absorbency levels. You are sure to find the diaper that fits your needs. - Cloth diapers are less expensive –
Cloth diapers cost about ½ the price of disposables and don’t forget about the additional cost of the trash bags you would need to dispose of them. - Cloth diapers are multifunctional –
They can be used as changing pads, burp cloths, and spill cleanups for years to come.
If you decide to try cloth diapers or have already made the switch please let us know how you like them and what brand you decided to use. Our baby is due in December so we will let you know how they worked out for us.
product review: cue-t organic t-shirts
My daughter sported one of the Cue-T organic baby t shirts this Thanksgiving. Saving the turkey and saving the earth at the same time. The “Eat Tofu Save Turkey” shirt is a great conversation piece.
Going “green” is a hot topic these days and the Cue-T company is doing their part to empower youngsters and their parents to go green. Did you know that conventional cotton is sprayed with harmful pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers? Did you know that with every organic cotton t shirt purchase prevents 4 oz. of concentrated, hazardous, chemicals from polluting our earth? So if 100 people owned one organic shirt they would save 744,000 gallons of water and eliminate 168 pounds of chemical fertilizer and 1.14 pounds of toxic pesticides.
