What a great week to get back into reading about all things pregnancy, birth and baby! Lots of neat developments for families who are seeking fertility treatments, a possible breakthrough to treat pre-eclampsia, and another biological explanation about why those Sweet Peas just don't sleep through the night when they are newborns (another one in case you needed to remind yourself that your sleepless nights are just "for now" - they do eventually get really good at sleeping!!)

One of the principles we teach in our Bradley Method® classes is to avoid harmful substances. Whether you are TTC of already pregnant, it is important to think about your environment and reduce your exposure to chemicals, preservatives and toxins to the best of your ability. Here are some of the ways our family and our students have made small changes that are making our homes and nurseries non-toxic for our pregnancies and our families. Scroll down to the end of the post for descriptions and links if you want more information about the pictures below: 1. Pregnancy pampering with "safe" nail polish 2. Locally-sourced organic, preservative-free face soap and shaving soap 5. Fast food doesn't have to be junk food! 6. Grow your own pesticide-free food 9. Here's a Sweet Pea wearing his sun-dried cloth diapers along with his chemical-free diaper station and baby soap. Read more about greening after the Birth-Day on our sister blog, Sweet Pea Families. How have you greened your home, school or workplace? What was your motivation to make a change? Please leave us a comment - it will be moderated and posted. 1. Read about the nail polishes we use HERE 2. You can learn more about Zoaps HERE - we use her green tea face zoap and the shaving zoap - bonus: they're vegan! 3. Kate S. says: "Fabric paper towels (purchased through a co-op from a WAHM, but will be making my own from now on!!) and my soap nuts that I use for laundry. Forgot to include my wool dryer balls in the picture." 4. Kate S. says: "DIY dish soap, All purpose orange cleaner, glass cleaner, vinegar (which cleans stainless steel!), foaming handsoap (and DIY dispenser), bath salts, deodorant, vicks-like chest rub, toothpaste, tooth powder, powder foundation, bronzer, blush, mascara, and eyeliner. Everything is in glass except the mascara, blush, foundation, and bronzer. Those are in the containers my old makeup was in." She's making the journey to a non-toxic, natural household including the beauty of oils (essential oils!) 5. Read Chipotle's commitment to local, organic, non-GMO sources HERE. 6. Read more about our Tower Garden and the other foods we grow HERE. 7. Find your local farmer's markets HERE. 8. Find out about how we greened our nursery HERE: we use cloth wipes with a non-toxic cleaning spray, and organic cotton wraps from Imse Vimse with Chinese pre-folds. 9. Here's an SPB Sweet Pea with wearing his cloth diapers; drying in ths sun saves energy, deodorizes, and uses UV rays to sanitize them. Mama is using cloth wipes from Shannon's Cloth and More, and she is making her own bum spray. Dr. Bronner's is another great green choice for the nursery and the whole family.

These are probably going to keep being evening editions - thank you for your patience as we ramp up posting again in the New Year.
