Highchair Cushion Cover

LiberatedMind.com — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 09:43:16 +0000

We recently bought a brand new, lovely wooden highchair from Keekaroo for our little man. It is a wonderful highchair that grows with baby, as the seat and foot rest are adjustable. The belt buckles and removable food tray are a must for us, as this chair is often used by baby in the kitchen …

Chic Wood Play Gym for Baby by Finn + Emma

LiberatedMind.com — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 09:09:19 +0000

What a neat idea from Finn + Emma! When my little guy was in the laying down phase, I was so close to buying some “Made in China” plastic contraption for him to lie beneath and oggle the plastic toys… but alas, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it and kept my “no plastic” …

Mrs. Meyer’s Automatic Dishwasher Detergent

LiberatedMind.com — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 09:07:37 +0000

I want to share with you a great product I have been using for over a year. When our household transitioned to a toxin free, chemical free zone, an obvious place to examine was the soaps that came in contact with the dishes we ate and drank from. Even though soap gets washed off, we …

Fun with Babyproofing: Cardinal Gates

LiberatedMind.com — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 12:34:48 +0000

My almost 7 month old decided to crawl, then pull himself up on furniture, and then furniture walk all in the span of 5 days, so I am scrambling to babyproof. I ordered the awesome Duragate from Cardinal Gates that is all metal and has NO plastic parts (hurray!). I also got the extender so …

Merry Muscles Review

LiberatedMind.com — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 10:35:26 +0000

After a few months using the Merry Muscles baby exerciser, it’s time for a product review! Before buying the Merry Muscles we had a Fisher Price bouncy vibrating seat as well as a table top take-along swing. They worked pretty well, but as baby got older he didn’t fit anymore in the bouncy seat and …

GoodWood 3D Imagination Blocks!

LiberatedMind.com — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 10:49:10 +0000

These blocks from GoodWood caught my eye as a great alternative to the standard boxy blocks for children to play with. These would really challenge any child's creativity! I want to play with them :)

Inflatable Bouncy Houses have Illegal Levels of Lead

LiberatedMind.com — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 18:08:33 +0000

From Inhabitots: “While bouncy fun may sound like a great plan at a kid’s birthday or other child-minded event, bounce houses are anything but fun when it comes to your child’s health and safety. This summer an in-depth investigation by the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) prompted lawsuits to be filed by CEH and the …

5 Steps to a Non-Toxic Lifestyle

LiberatedMind.com — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 15:13:14 +0000

Being pregnant has caused me to reflect on how I’ve limited my daily exposure to chemicals and toxins to protect my growing child. Before becoming pregnant, I had made a serious effort to limit my exposure to chemicals for my own long term health. A side benefit to this was knowing that my body would …

Organic, non-Alcohol Mouthwash: PerioBrite

LiberatedMind.com — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 13:50:15 +0000

After realizing that even our "alcohol-free" ACT mouthwash contained PEGs and other harsh toxicants, we decided to try [amazon ASIN="B000I4C22C"]PerioBrite Mouthwash[/amazon]. What a punch! It is arguably more intense than any alcohol filled mouthwash. Ingredients include Echinacea, Green Tea and Olive Leaf, Peppermint, Clove, Oregano and Thyme.

A New Years Resolution to Healthy Armpits

LiberatedMind.com — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 13:26:38 +0000

Armpits are a common conundrum among health nuts like myself who have decided not to use deordorizers with chemicals and metals in them. So many armpit products today advertise as an "anti-perspirant". But do you really know why they work or how?
