I am always looking for ways to incorporate “green” into our family life and home. When I stumbled upon Green Girl’s Guide, a site run by Laura Mount and Karen Mount, I got pretty excited! These two moms are full of great tips that fit well into family life including “green finds of the week,” recipes, lists of eco-boutiques etc—all done without wagging a finger at you for how green or not green you may be—it is wonderfully conversational with the idea that we’re all in this together, here are some great tips we’d like to share! Love it!!!
Check it out…particularly this recent post on the lead content in hoses—scary!!! Alternatives are given, so you aren’t left concerned and trying to figure out which product is a better choice. Thanks moms! You do the research so we can be informed and zero in on what is safest for our families and environment!
Soon they will be carrying the wonderful reusable Envirosax! We’ll be sure to give you a run-down on this great product and let you know when you can get your hands on one of these hip, multi-purpose reusable bags.

Ali Wing, giggle CEO and founder, always says “We do the homework so new parents can giggle.” And giggle I did when I looked at all of the wonderful, unique, and chic items available at egiggle.com for new parents and their babies! And they really do their homework—check out the giggle criteria for each product–what a snazzy way to inform consumers!
I requested a couple of items to see in person, and they are fabulous!!
I got the chance to check out the Decortive Wood Wall Panels (set of 4), and boy are they a treat!! Covered in a wonderful modern pattern, they attach to any clean surface so that you can custom decorate your nursery or playroom! I am a person who gets bored easily, so being able to change the pattern upon the wall is perfect for me! The older your child gets, they can have fun deciding where they want them placed on the wall too!
I also got to see two of the lovely aprons they carry for the mini-person in your life!
The first one is by Mimi the Sardine, and it is adorable!! Covered with cute little graphic bugs and an environmentally sound, non-toxic acrylic coating that meets the Oeko-Tex 100 Standard, it is permanently water and soil resistant—best thing—it is sooooo soft, and not at all stiff!! Wipe clean or machine wash! Great for your mini gardener!!
The second apron is the Organic Cotton Veggie apron by Under the Nile, and I wish you could feel just how soft it is! This fair-traded organic product would be wonderful for your little gardener, or veggie washer!!
The fact that all of these wonderful high-end products are bundled together in one hip and chic store, and that the homework is done for you has loads of Mom Appeal!! Mama Jen
