Overhaul!!!

I am soo excited! My blog is getting redisigned!! I really dislike the stuffy old man feel of this blog that is supposed to be green, baby, cute, chic, etc...and it shows because I never update!! I am also going to branch out and some of my posts will be about various baby, kid, mom issues!! Yippeee!!! Stay tuned as we revamp, restyle and recreate the blog!!!

Got the sniffles? Kids Sick?

It is that time of year again when the colds, flu, and runny noses are in full force! We go through tissues in my house like crazy...I think I keep a box in every room so I never have to travel far to wipe a nose! Did you know there are recycled tissues out there you can use...yes, they are not quite as soft but if every U.S. household opted for a box of 100% recycled tissue instead of a box of virgin-fiber tissues, we'd conserve 163,000 trees! Okay that's a lot of trees for one box think of how many trees would thank us for all the boxes we go through each winter! Also most tissue paper's bleached with chlorine, which can combine with chems and gases in nature to form harmful toxins, so look for chlorine-free or oxygen-bleached.

Ideal Bite has done a great tissue test and come up with the winners of the best recycled tissues! Be sure to stop by their site to find the winners.

So next time you grab that tissue to wipe a nose, hopefully the trees will be thanking you...

So I found this great blog and while it encompasses a little of everything not just eco-friendly I thought it was fabulous...many of us have tightened our wallets this year and some since starting families and want to know where to find good deals...well look no further.

I promise these deals are great and you will still look and feel wonderful with them!

SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW:

Did you know that between November and January of every year, the US puts 25 million extra pounds of garbage into landfills nationwide? In that extra weight you can find 38,000 miles of ribbon alone - enough material to extend around the planet. You will also find the majority of the 28 billion pounds of edible food thrown out annually.
