It's been waaaaaaaay too long!!!!

I am soooooo sorry for the long lapse in updates I have been in the process of relocating to the fabulous NYC and unfortunately have been to busy to blog.....Here is a brief recap of our Summer. Yes I just said summer and on a day like today I wish it were still here.

This Summer my daughter joined the Green Camp down in battery park, they visited various green restaurants, a bicycle recycling plant, and built their own mini solar cars. overall my daughter gave them an A+ for the exciting trips and fun activities and I gave them an A+ also for the price!

Baby Step of the Month!!

Yesterday I went to the Library with my daughter. We often go to the library, Chapters or Barnes and Noble when we are in New York because we are both book lovers. But I have to say my experience was very different, I began to take a real look at our local library and what I found was amazing......they had movies you could take out, music CD's, classical music, jazz, pop, country you name it. But what I loved was they had all the updated magazines I literally saved myself $30 WOW! My daughter was able to take out thirteen books and the savings there was amazing as well.
Take time to visit your local Library it is filled with many activities to do with your child and it's good for the environment!!

Rattle and Hum!!!!

I said let me see you shake a tail feather......shake it! shake it baby! Okay your probably wondering where I'm going with all this, I found this adorable website http://www.blablakids.com/ and they had the sweetest knitted bird rattles with names such as Octavio and Sonatina. I also loved the mobiles Whale girl Elephant, Catch me if you can and the whimsical blue birds. They are completely washable and the Perfect gift!

From Delicious to Weelicious

Now there is a new alternative to pureed squash for dinner and pureed pear for dessert for your little one....http://www.weelicious.com/ shows frazzled moms how to make a wee feast for your wee little beastie, free from preservatives salt and sugar. How does Mediterranean Medley and Mango Creamsicle sound! Yum! Yum! for your Tum! Tum! The best part is there is no packaging so that's one less piece of trash in our landfills.

I'm Baaaack!!!!

So sorry I was away for sooooo long but I have returned with an armful of green goodies!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend!

Dough Ray Me So Fa La Tea......

I have found the best green play dough and paint for children that will keep mother's happy and children busy for hours. The organic play dough by over the Rain Dough (love the name!) is 100% plant based coloring, 80% organic ingredients and comes in six kid friendly flavors: Berry Pink Peachy Peach, Cinnamon Brown, Lemony Yellow, Vanilly White and Purpley Grape. I found it on http://www.ecostylebaby.com/. The natural finger paints for kids is derived from vegetable dyes and has no VOC's petro chemicals or other harmful ingredients. Now we just need eco friendly glue!

Let's Get Trashed!!

I love this compact little island that holds all things trashy!! Let me break down some of the fantabulous features Trashy has: A free standing kitchen island with optional butcher block top and towel bar, while housed inside are drawers for waste, bags, recycling , compost and a spot for hazardous waste such as CFL bulbs and batteries. It is made from sustainable materials and I feel a must in any home. Visit http://www.gettrashy.com/
