Bug Bite Relief
Chump mosquitoes got your kid down for the count?
Submitted by alara on Sun, 06/21/2009 - 11:00pm. Don't throw in the towel just yet. If the buggers dodged your kid's repellent, treat the sting and itch with chem-free, botanical balms that are effective, smell great, and won't hit the planet below the belt.Eyebrow:
Plastic ID Numbers
Hey baby (bottle), what's your sign?
Submitted by alara on Wed, 06/17/2009 - 11:00pm. Before bringing plastic back to the crib, get its digit first. The Plastic Identification Code (PIC), that is - the number in the arrow symbol at the base of the container. That way, you'll know if your bottle's safe for baby, and make the call.Eyebrow:
Bath Toys
Tough time getting kids in the bath long about a Saturday night?
Submitted by alara on Mon, 06/15/2009 - 11:00pm. Not if there's a party going on. Fill 'er up with eco bath toys. Our picks skip the toxic chems, so while baby's rockin' and rollin' in the water, you can rest assured that everything's all right.Eyebrow:
Eco Kids Shampoo
Are the ingredients in your kids' lather-uppers fooling you?
Submitted by alara on Wed, 06/10/2009 - 11:00pm. If you think you need the synthetic stuff in conventional 'poos to get soft, shiny hair, they are. Skip the charade, and choose organic plant-based shampoos for your squirt.Eyebrow:
Beach Week - Eco-Sunscreen
Want the right stuff to ward off summer sunburns?
Submitted by alara on Sun, 05/31/2009 - 11:00pm. Skip the reunion tour with conventional lotions and slather eco-sunscreens on your kiddos. With mineral-based blocks, you'll protect them from harmful UV rays (but alas, not boy bands) and hang tough against cruddy chems.Eyebrow:
