Post-partum Recovery the Natural Way
| April 25, 2013 | Posted by eryn under Natural Living, Product Reviews |
My hope for my second birth was to have an unmedicated vaginal birth. That had been my plan for my first birth as well, but those plans quickly went to the wayside when I developed HELLP syndrome, a severe form of pre-eclampsia that caused my liver and kidneys to start failing and led to an…

One of the many benefits of my job is that I get to try out new eco-friendly toys with our kids.

Earth Day is just around the corner, so I’m starting to think about what we’ll do to celebrate this year.

As part of our resolution to give our son an upbringing inspired by Maria Montessori, we started giving him a glass to drink from from when he was about 1 year old. A shot glass proved to be the perfect size for his little hands and allowed him to improve his fine motor skills. But…

| April 2, 2013 | Posted by eryn under Kids, Natural Living, Organic |
I fell in love with organic cotton fitted diapers when my son was a newborn. They were incredibly absorbent, easy to use and care for, and held in even the messiest newborn poos. We opted not to continue using them past the newborn stage, but fitted diapers are definitely not just for newborns. Fitteds are…
