The Great Cheese Chase Cooperative Board Game Review
| March 21, 2013 | Posted by eryn under Kids, Natural Living, Product Reviews |
Have you tried playing cooperative board games with your kids? Ever since I first learned about these kinds of games, I thought the idea was truly inspired. If you’re not familiar with them, the basic concept is that all the players work together toward a common goal rather than competing against one another. While the…
Bamboo for Baby? Yes!
| March 16, 2013 | Posted by eryn under Kids, Natural Living, Organic |
I try to buy clothes for our kids that are made from eco-friendly materials as often as possible. For the most part, that means buying organic cotton. But recently I had the opportunity to try a newborn layette gown and knot hat set set made from bamboo, courtesy of KicKee Pants and I have to say…

| March 13, 2013 | Posted by eryn under Cooking, Family Life, Health and Safety, Natural Living |
Concerned about the potential health effects from the chemicals used to produce non-stick cookware, we abandoned its use in our household several years ago.

I had intended to cloth diaper my son as soon as we brought him home from the hospital, but at 4 lbs. 14 oz. he simply didn’t fit into any of the diapers or covers we had. Instead, he stayed in preemie-sized disposables for a couple of months until he fit into our cloth diaper…

If I had to pick the most natural, environmentally friendly diapering method (aside from no diapers at all), I’d have to go with organic cotton diapers and wool covers. I simply haven’t found a better combination. If I could restart my diaper stash or money were no object, this is the diapering system I would…
