Back in August, I shared with you my thoughts on Toxic Baby, the awesomely frightening and ultimately empowering film by Penelope Jagessar Chaffer. It made me change the way I evaluate, buy, and use all the products in our household. One critical lesson from the film and the movement to clean up our chemical-infused environment […]

Martha Stewart Home Office Discbound Notebooks

Diary of a New Green Mom: Progress, Not Perfection
When we last left New Green Mom, she was terrorizing her cleaning woman with non-toxic scrubbers and natural sponge-y cleaning products and lamenting her use and overuse of traditional, chemical-laden makeup and bath products. So did the cleaning lady ever abandon her trusted bleach in favor of the citrus-oil based bathroom cleaners? Will New Green […]
The Odd Life of Timothy Green and the Value of Loss
ou may have heard by now that The Odd Life of Timothy Green is a great family movie. And it is–a movie about a great family. And a good movie in many ways for older children and their parents to see together.
