It's important that your baby's nursery be a healthful place; a "green" oasis from the rest of the environment. After all, your infant spends about 60% of his day in the nursery sleeping, being bathed, getting diaper changes or simply enjoying his day. There are a number of great ways to create and maintain a healthful green nursery. Several proven ideas are given below. Painting the Nursery How old is your home? If it was built in the ...

Why I feed my family Natural Beef
My undergraduate coursework was in nutrition and I studied foods and the effects of foods extensively. I had heard of the terms “organic” “hormone free” and “grass fed” before, but I really had no idea what it really pertained to. It was not until I took a class where we had to study the differences in organic foods vs. conventional foods where I realized that I should be more conscious about what foods I put in my body, and more importantly, ...

Keep Your Skin Smooth This Valentine’s Day with Johnson’s!
Your bathroom cabinet is not complete without a bottle of Johnson's Baby oil. From the time I can remember, I have always had Johnson's Baby Oil in my home. I never use it for the intended purpose of moisturizing baby's skin. I have found it to be useful for other things such as healing cracked elbows and knees, taking off makeup (yes - even Halloween makeup that tends to be thicker) and coating my nose when I have a cold, to protect it from the ...
Healthy Frozen Treats with Earth’s Best!
Last week my little girl had a bad fall that resulted in a deep wound on her inner cheek. She was in pain for days and unable to eat or drink comfortably. The only thing she wanted was frozen foods - including frozen pancakes for breakfast because the cold numbed her mouth and helped ease the pain.

Enter the new Uncle Ben’s Contest and win! #BensBeginners
From the time my little girl was eating "real" foods, I have been dedicated to making her healthy meals from scratch with wholesome ingredients. Now that she is a little older, she started to become very picky. The way I try to remedy her pickiness is by having her help me out in the kitchen as much as possible and let her be part of making her own food. I'm fortunate enough to be a stay at home mom and have a lot of time to spend with my little ...
How do you deal with signs of aging?
I'm sure many women can agree that pregnancy has changed their skin. While I was pregnant with my first I noticed that I had considerably less breakouts and clearer skin in general. Now that I am pregnant with my second, my skin has changed again, this time not so much for the better. I started to notice dark spots, red spots, and fine lines. I'm not even 30 yet and I feel that my skin has aged ten years in the past few months. I always ...
