Seventh Generation Baby Diapers

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008
by Truddle


Hey you guys! My grandma wanted me to write in to tell you about the Seventh Generation diapers we use at our house.  

I have to tell you these Chlorine Free diapers from Seventh Generation are the best! I first tried the seventh generation diapers when I was just a little baby and my grandma bought [...]

Naturepedic No-Compromise™ Organic Cotton Crib Mattress

Monday, December 29th, 2008

A cotton mattress is at the TOP of Dr. Greene’s essential list of must-have products for baby. Baby spends hours every day with his face against his crib mattress, and conventional crib mattresses are made with PVC, filled with polyurethane foam and treated with toxic fire-retardant chemicals.
There are no standards for organic crib mattresses, but [...]

Haba Toys

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

We’ve enjoyed a lot of the natural wood toys and games from Haba, like the Pete the Pirate Game. Silly Goose Toys also carries other Haba games, as well as a whole "Green Eco Toys" section. You can find other Haba toys and games and lots of other natural toys at www.oompa.com/.
Haba uses only maple [...]

BornFree Bottles Gift Set

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Dr. Greene and I both believe strongly that breastfeeding is best. But when baby needs a bottle, for pumped breast milk or formula, BornFree bottles are the best you can choose.
BornFree bottles are made from a safe plastic that is free of bisphenol A, a chemical that has been linked to behavior problems and early [...]

Under the Nile Veggies and Crate

Friday, December 19th, 2008

When a product has a great concept, safe ingredients and a touching story behind it, it’s definitely going to end up on Parents’ Picks!
I discovered Under the Nile products while Alan and I were prepping for a spot on a national TV show. He needed to show a teething toy, and we didn’t have one [...]

Sequence

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

This is one of my all-time family favorites! It’s a touch of canasta, rummy and poker; part strategy, part observation, part luck. I love that people always have fun playing – win or lose.
Sequence fits any size group, from 2 people to a whole roomful if you play with teams. One year we gathered the [...]

Chrononauts

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

This is the ultimate "what if?" game – a virtual “time machine in a box.” The cards are dealt and time marches forward, but what if something happened to change the past? How would that impact the future? There are Paradoxes – holes in the Space-Time Continuum that threaten to destroy the entire Universe. Every [...]

Fluxx

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Ever think you’ve got life figured out then something comes along and changes the rules? Welcome to the theme of Fluxx, another of the Greene family games I love to share.
The rules are simple, and it takes about a minute to jump right in. You take a card and play a card, but the card [...]

Radius Scuba Toothbrush

Monday, December 15th, 2008

Ok, perhaps no kid ever put “toothbrush” on his holiday wish list, but the Radius Scuba Toothbrush makes a great stocking stuffer for the whole family. There are models specially made for lefties and righties. This toothbrush is constructed to fit comfortably in the hand AND encourages proper brushing technique because of the angle. Rumor [...]

Connect Four

Friday, December 12th, 2008

Not to be corny, but I “connect” with Connect Four. I think it came out when I was a kid – I can’t exactly remember, but it was so darn cool. In the days before 3D video games, here was a clever game that was delightfully vertical instead of the standard horizontal. And it was [...]
