Dangers of Early Exposure to Common Chemicals

I started this blog many years ago to help warn unsuspecting parents of the dangers in everyday products. As I've met people over the years, I've realized how few parents have this information. Which is odd, because the research is out there, and almost everyone has the internet to rely on for information!
I've just read an article from Silent Spring Institute that discusses how early exposure to common chemicals may affect breast health. Simply put, we need to pay more attention to what we are doing now, especially with our children. What we do now can affect their chances of future breast cancers. (And if you think your sons are immune, they are not... early exposures can lead to enlarged breasts in men and boys.)
Here is the article.
Here is a link from the article on steps you can take to reduce your child's exposure.

Natural Mosquito/ Bug Repellent

Just got in a new batch of the best mosquito repellent in the world! Perfect for the whole family, including your natural baby, I was reminded how awesome (and necessary!) this product is when I was around a DEET containing product and it made me cough. Also made my throat itch. Not good. Our mosquito repellent does not have to be washed off. It has a pleasant smell, and most importanly, IT WORKS! Check it out here:
