{Ginormous} Green Giveaway

You would have to be living on another planet if you haven't felt bombarded with all of the messages of late about going green, eco-living, lowering your carbon footprint, etc...the message is important but I have to say, it has felt very overwhelming at times. As a mom, there are enough things to worry about and take care of! But, I do feel that I should play a part in it all and am trying to make small and necessary changes here and there. And I've learned that it doesn't always have to feel like a sacrifice. Case in point - check out all of the fabulous items below - gone are the days of burlap, drab organic fabrics. These mom-owned businesses are doing their part by offering {stylish} green and organic products for you and your family.

To help you get started in your quest to green-ify and in celebration of Earth Day, on April 22nd, we are hosting a Ginormous Green Giveaway! You're not going to believe all the green goodies we've grabbed for you! {Alright, alright...enough with the alliteration of G's...can you tell I'm excited?} Over $400 worth of goods to one winner! Here goes...

Motherlove Nipple Cream from Motherlove Herbal Company. Retail Value $15.95

The only nipple cream USDA Certified Organic. All ingredients are safe for ingestion, so it does not need to be washed off prior to nursing.


I cannot say enough good things about this product - I have told so many mama's about it. If you are breastfeeding, you know you need a product like this, because you are bound to have some sore moments. My sister turned me on to this product, because she used it on her son's chapped cheeks. So, I have continued to use this product for diaper rash and it works so well - very healing.

Great giveaway!

I clean with baking soda and vinegar. I put vinegar in spray bottle and baking soda in an old salt shaker to sprinkle on surfaces. I also use cloth rags and napkins instead of paper.

We attempt to recycle every chance we get from boxes, to glass, to reusing bags. It's hard sometimes being a parent to recycle properly because my daughter who is five hasn't quite got the concept and always being on the go. Thanks for getting the word out!
