Have you noticed how many websites and blogs there are? It seems like everyday I get a new email asking me if I’ve seen this site or heard of this blog. It’s overwhelming at times but way cool to see all the great content and information on motherhood, parenting, the environment and life. I love [...]

Remodel or Cover it Up?

greenandcleanmom — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 12:55:30 +0000

My home is 26 years old and when we purchased it from my mother-in-law we did some remodeling to make it ours. There are things in the home I’m not crazy about but it is an older home and I didn’t pick out the woodwork, closet doors, window frames, etc. That’s what happens when you [...]

greenandcleanmom — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 12:02:32 +0000

Halloween is over and the next holiday that my son starts to talk about is Christmas. Not that Thanksgiving isn’t important but really he doesn’t like turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and pie and he gets bored with football on the television. Are family celebrates thanksgiving with gusto but for my son, Christmas is what he [...]

What does organic, romantic and bathtime have in common?

greenandcleanmom — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 12:00:18 +0000

Bathing my children, it’s a nightly routine. It’s calming for the children and for me, I like to have the children smelling clean. Sorry, I just do. I always took a bath nightly and so do my children. They bath together and we don’t use very much water, so were conserving. Using a non-toxic, gentle [...]

Plastic Grocery Bags: Everyone has some!

greenandcleanmom — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 12:00:41 +0000

I know that the proper green phase is “reduce, reuse, recycle” and that they are in the order of importance. So the best thing would be to use less plastic grocery bags. And we do – a lot less. However, I do not think I will ever get my husband to take a cloth bag [...]

Speedy Delivery by Mr. McFeely

greenandcleanmom — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 12:01:41 +0000

My new position as a Great Start Parent Coalition Coordinator has already connected me with some amazing people and opportunities. From parents telling me their stories about how important early childhood education is to hearing Steve Covey speak. Friday I was able to meet Mr. McFeely, the character that delivered the mail to Mr. Roger. [...]

Chemicals and Children

greenandcleanmom — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 00:20:53 +0000

Seventh Generation recently hosted a evening with Dr. Greene (love him) and the Environmental Working Group (love, love, love them) in Boston to talk about chemicals and our children. Talk about an important discussion. I sure wish I could have been there. No worries, I can watch the full WebCast and get the low down [...]

BPA FREE Giveaway from The Soft Landing

greenandcleanmom — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 16:00:12 +0000

Giveaway has ended! Congrats to comment number 42! The BPA and plastic issue…it’s too much. The information is right in front of our faces and we still have a ruling from the FDA backing it, despite the flawed reports. The Smart Mama just wrote a post all about the FDA and whether science and the [...]

What’s For Dinner?

greenandcleanmom — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 12:00:09 +0000

While I enjoy cooking, I must admit that I find it hard to come up with a healthy, locally grown, appetizing dinner every night. The pressure! And add to that three kids who have different tastes, a super healthy husband, and me working too… So what is a girl to do?? I have some tried [...]
