Gidget’s Ultimate Cloth Diapering Tips
We’ve been using cloth/hybrid diapers part-time for a few months now (I wish we’d started sooner!). Cloth diapers are in fact what started my whole green/eco-friendly/non-toxic kick that I’m gradually incorporating into our daily life. I thought I’d put together a little summary for my interested readers.

The two books in Deirdre Imus’ series, Green This, are both very informative.
Vol. 1: Greening Your Cleaning
I’m going to have to buy this one to keep on hand as a reference. She categorizes by room in the house and within each room gives specific tips, products, homemade recipes, etc for cleaning various surfaces. She also [...]

The Issue
To exemplify the problem with cosmetics in the U.S. that I brought up in my last post, I wanted to talk a bit about sunscreen. All of you moms, sun-lovers, & sensitive-skin types will agree that this is especially important.

I’ve been trying to research BPA- that dangerous chemical found in plastics, and canned food. Here’s an interesting timeline of it (I mostly skimmed until the last section on the most recent events)– click HERE. I also posted a link in the sidebar with general BPA info.
I’ve never been a big fan of Wal-Mart but [...]
