• Biodegradable Picnic Ware: Please Put Litter in Any Place

  Normally, we'd never suggest that you and the family toss your picnic ware into a lake or leave it behind on the campsite after you're done grubbing -- but that sort of thinking goes out the window (as opposed to into the landfill) when we're talking biodegradable picnic ware.

• This Mother's Day Get Her Shoes . . . and Them Too

  I never latched onto the "Mother's Day as shoe giving holiday" until now. Yes, moms like shoes (so do a lot of dads for that matter), but we need shoes in which we can run after our kids.  Wouldn't you know they'd come out of a place known for taking the adventure off road?

• Big Green Box for Your Old Dead Batteries

  If you don't have easy access to a community recycling center, it can be tempting just to trash the seemingly never-ending stream of spent batteries from the kids' toys. But with the Big Green Box, you can recycle not just batteries, but also potentially hundreds of dollars' worth of pooped-out electronics, without leaving your doorstep. Read More...

• She's Got Curves

  The pile of kid's water bottles on the sidelines of the soccer field gives me the willies. I'm not a germophobe, but have you ever noticed how many kids drink from the same exact bottle?  No wonder they all come down with the creeping crud simultaneously! Your kid won't be letting anyone else get their grubby hands on their new bottle from Total She's Sheco line. Read More...

• Calling on Your Little Garden Chick

  The Obamas have got good common sense on their side with their new garden at the White House, but no one ever said gardens can't be good for the Earth AND good plain fun.

• Keeping Kids AND the Earth Well in One Fell Swoop

  We're all about going green in our house (in every house these days, hopefully), and that means saying bye bye to bottled water.  So how do you know the water your kids are getting is clean when you're doing a refill on the go?

• Taking the Mud Off Piggy Toes - And Leaving the Toes

  My daughter is such a little girl this tomboy mama has to shake her shaved head sometime. But there's nothing like a good old-fashioned girls' night with the toenail polish and a chick flick (while Daddy's banished with his XBox - like he's REALLY complaining).   But I've never been comfortable taking polish off her sweet little toes with a bottle of something that smells like it could have been dropped out of a chopper in Apocalypse Now.  Read More...

• Stack Diapers in Style

  I don’t know why I never got a diaper stacker. It allows for easy access when changing wiggly babies and this one actually adds a little design drama to the room.

• Eco for the Next Generation

• Sign of the Times: Eco Dollhouse

  I’m a bit cynical when it comes to marketing green products to children. I’d like to think it’s educational, but sometimes it’s really just about marketing the “it” topic of the moment to parents. Cynicism aside, kids should be learning about green living at an early age and I love this eco take on the traditional dollhouse. Read More...
