For the past year or so, canned foods have been on my list of foods we try to avoid. Aside from the sodium and diminished nutrients, most canned foods contain BPA. I kept meaning to write about what I’ve learned about BPA, and it kept getting pushed to the back burner. Then, I received an email from 7th Generation, with an article titled BPA in Thanksgiving Canned Food. (more…)

The grocery store can be a super confusing place. When you’re trying to make the right decisions for your family, the array of claims on food labels can be overwhelming. I have learned that just because someone says something – or prints it on a label – that does not make it true. So what’s a savvy shopper to do? I’ve done some digging, and decoded a few commonly used food labels to help guide you through your next shopping trip. Enjoy! (more…)

Charlotte normally ignores the television entirely. She doesn’t seem to be interested in ESPN, Lifetime, or sitcoms. Which I think is awesome. However, flipping on kids’ shows definitely gets her attention. She will drop everything that she is doing, and stare at the television. In moments like that, it’s really tempting to think, “She loves it so much – It can’t be that bad for her!” Often, the characters are singing sweet songs, practicing their letters, and modeling positive social behaviors like sharing. How can that be bad? (more…)

I’m putting this on the list of things I wish I would have known before baby. I have the clear plastic guards for the front of the crib, but I never bothered with the sides. Charlotte doesn’t spend a lot of time in her crib unless she’s asleep, so I didn’t think I needed them.

I know that many of your first reactions to this article will be, “I’ve always used (insert favorite sunscreen here), and I turned out just fine!” Well, I’m here to tell you that (more…)
