Green Works: Simple Tips That Work!

Becoming a Green Momma

When I found out that I was pregnant, I started making lifestyle changes, so that I could provide the safest environment for my growing baby.

I was much more careful about what foods I ate, the air I breathed, and the products that I used. So when I started putting together the baby’s room, I knew it was important to make it “Green” too.

Green It Yourself!

You’re heard of DIY {Do it Yourself}, now you can learn to GIY {GREEN it Yourself!}I love this video, The Kids Room Tips Green It Yourself video on the Green Works Facebook page, since it gives new parents tons of great tips on how to set up a safe nursery.

Think about it, you put Mr. Yuck stickers on your cleaners, keep smokers away from baby, so why would you let chemicals around baby by using toys with BPA or paint with toxic chemicals?

My Favorite Tip

When I wanted to paint the baby’s room, I knew I wanted a No VOC Paint for the bedroom, and was surprised that none of my friends or family had even heard of that before!

FREE Kids Games: Educational AND Fun!

Have you tried Kabongo yet??

This is SUCH a fun program, and my nephews love it! And I love that it’s helping the older one remember what he learned in school while he’s out on summer break, and it’s getting the little one ready for Kindergarten next year.

It’s meant for kids ages 4-7, which is darn perfect, since our boys are 4 and 7! The 4 year old struggles a bit, but really loves the challenge of it, and I feel like he is making lots of improvement. Kabongo Rocks!

The 7 year old is already a pretty advanced reader, so I’m not sure if he learns a ton of NEW stuff, but it helps reinforce what he knows.

“Free reading games for kids! GoGo Kabongo develops cognitive skills that are essential to reading. Fun, educational children’s games will build confidence and stay challenging with auto-leveling games that advance at your child’s pace. Discover three different games in each habitat, each with six levels.”

Sounds great, right? So get your little one’s signed up today, and take advantage of this FREE offer!

My Favorite Kids Water Play Stations and Tables

Summer Toy Shopping

I’ve been searching for some great new toys, something fun for outside, that will be great for the baby, as well as entertain my 4 and 7 year old nephews.

These water play tables seem like just the thing to keep them busy and out of {too much} trouble. But what a tough choice… There are so many great ones!

Advice?

If any of you have used one of these and have some feedback, I’d love to hear it! And if you’ve been looking for some fun new summer toys too, check out my favorites…

The Little Tikes Anchors Away Water Play Table is just so, so, so fun!! And it would be a perfect addition to our HUGE Pirate Birthday Party coming up soon….

*****

I really love the little ferris wheel-type feature on the Little Tikes Spiralin’ Seas Waterpark, and I think that the kids would have a ton of fun with it!!

*****

This Step2 Play Up Adjustable Sand & Water Table table is a great price, and I really like the umbrella over the top. We don’t have much shade at all, and I’d love to keep baby out of the sun!

*****

Your Thoughts?

My little girl will be a year old next month, so I’m excited to start getting her more “Big Girl” type of toys, and she LOVES playing with her older cousins!! I can see all three kiddo’s having a lot of fun with these…

What do you guys think? Do any of you have one of these? If so, do you love it?? Or do you have another great suggestion I should check out??

Thanks!!

Keep Kids Safe in the Dark!

Have you heard of Glow Grips?

I actually think that this is a pretty cool idea. If you have little one’s in the house, and any type of steps, this could be really great in helping keep them safe at night.

Details:

As Seen On TV Glow Grip – Glow In The Dark Super Grip Traction Strips. Instantly Bonds to Most Surfaces – Just Peel, Press and Go. 5-year Glow Guarantee! Only $19.99 + S&P. Click Here to check them out!

Why are they cool?

I can see these being really great for a few different uses here at my house, and am going to buy a couple of sets…. I thought you guys might be interested too. I’d never even heard of these before today!

One set for my patio steps. They’re concrete, and I haven’t found any type of solar light that I could attach easily. These will be PERFECT. I like that they not only light up, but have traction too, perfect for slippery feet from the pool.
On the steps from the living room to the kids rooms. There is a set of 4 steps that go up to the kids rooms, and my nephews have tripped more than a couple of times coming down to get a drink of water or use the bathroom at night. These will be super helpful!

So, check ’em out, and let me know if you’re excited about them too!
