New Link Buttons

Hey everyone! So, I grew up with 2 very health conscious women in my life...my mother and my grandmother. Both went through breast cancer and as many of you know, that is what killed my mother.

We lived in Austin, Texas, until I was 9 years old. We did most of our grocery shopping at The Whole Foods Market, and I miss that awesome place. I am actually making a fun trip to Austin on Monday to spend some time with my cousin Tyffany and do some shopping for items you just can't get where I live.

I always used to think my grandma and mom might be a bit paranoid. Your mind sure does take a dramatic shift when you have kids of your own. I want to do all that I can to avoid pesticides and harsh and unnecessary chemicals in the products we use in our home. Now, don't get me wrong, I am still going to dye my hair and paint my toenails (I painted them black last week and LOVE it!!)

But I think it is important to limit the amount of crap that I put into my kids world...you know, the world that they still stick in their mouths and suck on. :) How does one go about this? I had no idea...

One day when I was still pregnant, I played around on this website that a good friend had sent me. I was shocked at the chemicals that were in some of the stuff I was using everyday. So I bought a LOT of my babycare items according to the "shopping guides" that I found on this website. I don't think we are perfect over here, but I do feel better about the fact that the shampoo, sunscreen, and diaper ointment I use is not loaded with chemicals and junk.

I was just printing off some shopping guides this morning since I want to get a lot of stuff at Whole Foods next week and saw that they had these buttons for your blog. YEA!!! Now I can share the wealth of information and any of you reading can get the same stuff if you want to. :) I just wanted to share the info in case anyone was interested.

I realize this stuff is usually more expensive, but I will see what I find on Monday and let everyone know if I found some good deals. Have a great day, and enjoy playing with the new buttons!
