Cloth diapers can be a great resource if you have a little one with sensitive skin as disposable diapers can sometimes cause major irritation! But washing cloth diapers correctly also goes a long way towards preventing discomfort for you and your baby. Because there are so many types of cloth diapers made from everything from bamboo to cotton, hemp to wool, it is important to follow the washing instructions that come with your particular brand carefully. What works for one brand may not work for another! That said, here are a few tips for using Mountain Green to get the most from your cloth diapers: Read the rest of this post»

How a chemical that is toxic to humans and damaging to the environment has turned
soap from cleaner to culprit.

It’s an especially endearing sight to see children washing their hands. As adults, we feel we are doing our job well, teaching a vital skill and keeping our children healthy.

It is unhealthy for children and other living things. Read this week’s article for more info. And go ahead – tell your friends and neighbors.

I hope you take advantage of this offer- candy cane foamy hand soap is fun for kids (so they like to wash!) and completely non-toxic! Read the rest of this post»
