The Most Natural Clean! (Giveaway Added!)
Published on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Valerie. Congrats! If I told you that I could use plain water and a microfiber cloth to get everything from my son's high chair to our stainless steel refrigerator clean, you'd probably either laugh and think I'm crazy, or lift an eyebrow with intrigue. I hope you're doing the latter! I don'... Read More » -

Skoy Cloths
Published on Thursday, March 19, 2009 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Crystal. Congratulations! While cleaning doesn't necessarily excite me, innovative, eco-friendly cleaning products do. Have I told you about my extreme dislike for sponges? I think they're gross. Those little grooves are certain to hide all kinds of icky microbes AND they fall apart whe... Read More » -

Eco-Friendly Toys by Hosung NY
Published on Thursday, March 19, 2009 by caryn We took my son to Toys R Us a week or so ago to find him a toddler bed (that story is definitely best suited for another post). This wasn't his first time, but it was definitely the first time he actually had an opinion about the toys. He spoke to Elmo...LIVE, lunged on an Elmo chair, and WOULD NOT leave the "Wonder Pets" aisle. After much protesting, we walked ... Read More » -

Clean Your Floors the Eco-Friendly Way…...
Published on Monday, March 16, 2009 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Lisa P. Congratulations! In my house, the three-second rule doesn't usually apply. Being a NICU nurse, we throw away everything that comes in contact with the floor, even if it's just for a second. Being that this is ingrained within me, I don't make it a habit of eating or giving my so... Read More » -

Get Clean with Shaklee
Published on Thursday, March 5, 2009 by caryn This giveaway is now closed! Thanks so much for stopping by! The winner is Jackie. Congrats! Cleaning, in and of itself, is not high up on my list of "fun things to do," and when you add in the smells and the chemicals, I just find myself despising the entire process. That's not to say that I don't like a clean house...it's just the process of getting the... Read More » -

Remi-D
Published on Friday, February 27, 2009 by caryn I'm a mom and a neonatal intensive care nurse which means I can be pretty paranoid about germs. Our entire household has finally gotten over weeks of being sick (we just kept giving it to each other over and over again) but cold and flu season is not over yet. I carry hand sanitizer and wipes with me everywhere (they're in my purse, the diaper bag, the car) in... Read More » -

When my son was a baby, he had chronic diaper rashes. We have been through every diaper company...even some lesser known eco-friendly diaper companies. We happened upon Seventh Generation and decided to try their Chlorine-Free Diapers as a last resort ... Read More » -

Book Review: Curse of the Bone Pirates
Published on Friday, January 2, 2009 by caryn Do you know what I love about books? They do everything from teaching a preschooler their ABC's to transporting a tween to a far away land. I recently reviewed Curse of the Bone Pirates: Nui Island Eco-logical Adventures. This is the first of the Nui Island Eco-logical Adventure Series, and I hope it's not the last. While it's geared towards tweens ages 9-12,... Read More » -

Green Goes With Everything
Published on Wednesday, December 17, 2008 by caryn Up until a couple of years ago, I had never heard of phthalates, BPA, or parabens much less their impact on the health of my family. I have always tried to be as natural as possible by eating healthy and avoiding unnecessary chemicals. When I got pregnant with my son two years ago, I ended up on bedrest at 17 weeks which gave me too much time and not enough to do.... Read More » -

Going Green With Irene
Published on Monday, December 15, 2008 by caryn Going green has never been easier than now. I absolutely love finding and highlighting companies whose aim is focused at eco-preservation. Don't you wish you had someone who could show you the "green" ropes and walk you through achieving an environmentally-friendly home? I was recently introduced to Green Irene, a company whose aim is to help your family attain a... Read More » -

Ho Ho Holiday by FLOR!
Published on Monday, December 15, 2008 by caryn Modular flooring has been setting the trend this year. I love the ability to alter the look and feel of a room with the switch of a rug! Since the hazards of conventional wall-to-wall carpet are numerous, it makes eco-sense to stick to hardwood or laminate and use modular rugs as decor accents. FLOR's innovative, fashionable, and functional modular carpeting opt... Read More » -

Tis’ the Season to Be Clean (and Green)...
Published on Tuesday, November 25, 2008 by caryn My husband absolutely insists on having a clean house. I, on the other hand, am not as keen on the actual process of cleaning. Somebody has to do it (i.e. ME!) and cleaning is always so much better when you have the right equipment (isn't that true in life?). This holiday season I'm so proud to be able to open our very own home for the first time to friends ... Read More » -

Green Me Holiday Gift Ideas: Natural Pod
Published on Tuesday, November 18, 2008 by caryn I love shopping for my son. The look of pure wonderment as he says "wow" when I open up a box (usually a toy) is the most precious, priceless experience. With my love for all things green, I'm always looking for products that are good for my son and good for the environment (it must be green week here on Rockin' Mama). Natural Pod was grown out of a desire for ... Read More » -

Green Me: Pacific Shaving Company
Published on Sunday, November 16, 2008 by caryn One of the things I don't particularly enjoy is shaving. I know we all have to do it (unless you live in Europe where you can go au natural), but it's so time-consuming and messy! Gone are the days of leisurely 20 minute showers (it's also not very green of me to do so), so nicks and cuts pretty much go hand in hand with the 2 minute quick-shave! I recently had...

Green Me: Fun in the Sun with KINeSYS
Published on Thursday, October 23, 2008 by caryn The temperature in my car this morning read 95 degrees. Yes...that's not a typo. It's nearing November in Southern California and apparently nobody told the weather control systems that it's fall...which means the temperature should be falling! Regardless of how hot it is outside, we should all wear sunscreen on a regular basis to protect against one of the most... Read More » -
