I wanted to start a new blog series called "Mommy Mondays" where I talk about all things mommy related, including products that I'm loving, articles that I have come across that seemed interesting, and pretty much anything that can help us mommies. Anyway I realize today is Tuesday but who wants to "work" on a holiday. (not me!)
I have been taking a lot of thought in the household products that I use while cleaning the apartment, cleaning Easton's toys, and even Tank's things. I honestly never thought about it before I just would buy the products that I knew worked best, especially since I am guilty of letting things go until they are really dirty. Does this sound like you too? Well, I have been trying my best now, even more so since Easton is starting to move around and I am facing the hard reality that my son is going to be crawling soon, to find products that are safe to use around him. I am one of those people who always say that I am going to go organic and never do. I actually am going to do it this time. I have become that mother who freaks out at everything that goes into Easton's mouth. I know that it's clean but is it safe for him? So I started reaching and I found a couple of brands that I am going to try out. Right now these are finding that I made on my own through research and within the next couple of weeks plan on trying and will post about my favorites and what I will decide to continually use.
First, I found Babyganics. They are two friends who started the company together and listened to other parents, along with their wives to make the baby-safe products that they now have today. All their products are non-toxic, fragrance free, and alcohol free. I actually already started using the toy & highchair cleaner and actually really like it. I want to start using household cleaning products that they have also and they have everything. From hand soap to laundry detergent, to diapers and teething pods. I love the fact that everything is non-toxic so that means if Easton puts something in his mouth that I just cleaned, I know it's safe.
The next brand I found was Earth's Best Organic. I actually came across this company when Easton started rice cereal. This was the one that we tried out first and he LOVED it. He actually would grab for the bowl to try to eat what was left in it. (too cute!) So I decided to look into this company a little more see what they were al about and wanted to see what other products that they offered. Since I was already thinking about going organic once Easton started baby foods (which is very soon), I thought why not see what they have to offer. I was also thinking about making my own baby food, but that will be a separate post :) I am going to start giving him the stage one foods, which are single ingredient puree foods, my pediatrician told us to start off with green veggies, so that's what we are going to do. yay mushy peas! (yuck) They also carry natural baby body care products, chlorine free diapers and wipes, and an all natural nursery cleaner.
I could not finish this search/post without picking The Honest Company as one of my choices. This is the company that Jessica Alba founded and all about eco-friendly products. All the products they offer are all natural and good for the environment (and home and of course baby!). What I think is pretty awesome that they have "Bundles" for Diapers and Wipes, Essentials (household), and Health & Wellness. These are items that you pay a monthly price and you receive the most items for your buck. They also offer FREE trials for each bundle, so you can pick which ones you want to try out and see what this company is all about. I of course am going to try both the Diapers & Wipes and Essentials bundles and am very excited. They have a very wide variety of products and I think that's why they are going to be at the top of my list! I also think that the designs on the diapers are just the best! Finally "fashionable" diapers! (don't get me wrong I just love seeing the characters of Sesame Street on every diaper..hehe) You know I'm just so excited for those to come in!!
