Never underestimate the investment in a good blankie. I am a grown woman who still sleeps with one every night, even though I have to endure from my husband's endless teasing. And the organic baby blankets from the aptly named Organic Qu…
If you smell something delicious that's like a cross between a creamsicle, a vanilla candle, and springtime (in the best possible way) , it's probably me. That's because I've been using the organic skin care products from Summer Sky Orga…
If you don't know what totes adorbs means, the Earth Cadets shop will show it to you (Or, a teen who you wish would talk like someone from Earth) with a selection of wildly cool onesies for babies. From organic cotton one-pieces and adul…
There is nothing sweeter than a new baby, swaddled up like a little burrito. Especially if it gets the kid to sleep at last. (You know what I mean.) Not surprisingly, the baby swaddling blanket market is heavy on patterns of precious ted…
We were wrapping our wee babes in Aden + Anais' soft muslin swaddle blankets long before today's babies were even a twinkle in their fathers' eyes. But, for today's lucky kids, Aden + Anais has partnered with another one of our favorites…
If you've been following the recent news (and our own posts for the last few years), it turns out that antibacterial soaps are not the safe soaps for babies and kids they've claimed to be. The FDA recently issued a statement saying that …
We're so excited to present our Editors Best of 2013 series. As always, no voting, no vote-begging, no entrance fees. Just the stuff we really really loved this year--starting with the cutest baby clothes of the year in 0-12mo. This is a…
I love my peppermint mocha latte as much as the next girl, so it's a shame they're gone so fast that all I'm left with is a whipped cream mustache and fond memories. But when you combine the delicious scent of peppermint and cocoa with l…
It's no fun being that kid with food allergies who gets a chocolate Santa in your stocking, only to find your mom taking it away because there are no ingredients written on the foil. But it's probably worse being that mom. So we're happy…
I love DIY and I love anything lip-related: stick, gloss, or balm. That's why I'm all grins over this all-natural, make-your-own lip balm kit that also helps provide valuable job skills to women in the Washington, DC area. (Did I mention…
Um, I've seen what I look like in the morning if I haven't washed off my makeup...and it's downright scary. So I'm always on the lookout for awesome (and affordable) makeup removers. Here are four of our faves--just in time for Halloween…
Helloooo, fall and winter skin. We meet again...sigh. It's always around this time of year that my poor face starts to look--and feel--like it's going to flake off completely. I've experimented with a ton of different products (and I mea…
Oh, mamas. If you like your cotton organic, your prints limited edition, your quality high, and your heart and conscience light, have we found the clothing shop for you just in time for the gift season where charity is top of mind. PACT …
The worst thing about buying baby clothes? The fact that those precious outfits will be outgrown way too fast. While of course lots of us try to hand our baby clothes down or resell them, not all of them are in shape to do that. In fact …
Burt's Bees Baby has gone from making cute little bathtime gift sets you can find at CVS to a serious contender in your baby gift shopping arsenal. Yesterday I got a sneak preview of some of the adorableness coming your way, but there ar…
When I was a little kid, I just scratched mosquito bites until they bled. Like a boss. But now that I like to shave my legs, wear breezy dresses , and not look totally grody, I'm super excited to have found an all-natural salve to help c…
I tried carrying a tube of sunscreen in my purse once. Once . And then I got a new purse. So I'm head over heels for individually packaged, safe sunscreen for kids that even I can't spill. Bonus: it works. And smells great. [Don't miss a…
The perfect stuffed animal I want snuggling up against my kids' face at night? Soft, cuddly, machine-washable, and made of safe, organic fabric . And it'd be nice if it didn't cost a small fortune, so I wouldn't mind my kids drooling on …
Each year we eagerly await the Environmental Working Group's list of the safest sunscreens for kids (and grownups too) and we're so glad to see the 2013 list is ready, just in time for the unofficial start of summer. Click over to the li…
If you counted the number of times my reviews have stated that moms love being pampered... well, it might start to sound like a cry for help. As we all know, motherhood is a 24-7 job, and when we finally get some down time, we deserve th…
Well, wasn't I delighted to walk into my local bodega and see a brand new treat from Justin's Organic Peanut Butter staring back at me from the counter. Okay, my thighs weren't delighted, but I sure was. Move over Reese's: I love you but…
My girls have this ridiculous obsession with lip balm. Considering how it's actually on their lips (and thus, entering their digestive system, let's be honest) I tend to be more conscientious about lip balm ingredients than even things l…
I have a total thing for sachets. It's easy to find scary-looking ones (hello, airport giftshops!), but when I find pretty ones that smell wonderful, I tend to stock up. Gardenmis on Etsy is like awesome sachet central. I really love the…
Spring sunshine and open windows are wonderful...until we suddenly see the dirt and cobwebs that have been comfortably lurking in corners all winter. Here are some of our favorite ways to handle spring cleaning safely, especially when we…
