Sunday, May 23, 2010. The Infamous Baby Checklist - Printable Version. I've just moved twice within two weeks (once from Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota to our home base of Rochester, MN and again from Rochester to Larned, KS, the new home base)! From different sources of the things we'll need for the new baby. Today's entry is just the checklist - in case you want to print it off. Next week's entry will be infused with the great info I got from moms and ideas for going green. I found a ...

Friday, October 8, 2010. Sew Your Own Nursing Cover. Life with the baby has been excellent so far and I've decided to really embrace my domestic side by taking on a sewing project! I am breastfeeding, and while it has been a lot harder to master than I expected, we've been able to overcome the various challenges so far (thanks a lot to the babycenter.com breastfeeding board. And La Leche League. It's completely worth sticking through the tough moments. I used these instructions. For fabric, I would have ...

Eco-Kid: October 2011
http://eco-kid.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 8, 2011. I wanted to use more natural, chemical-free cleaning products around the house, but also had no idea where to find borax in a grocery store (I still don't! Then, I found this recipe, which works in a pinch and couldn't be easier to make. The best part is, you can make a lot because it stores indefinitely. 1/2 cup white vinegar. 1/4 cup baking soda. Mix everything together in a spray bottle. By Annie Berthold-Bond and recommend it! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Welcome to Eco Kid!

Saturday, July 30, 2011. Diaper Rash Cream Or Lack Thereof. I'm sticking with the toxicity theme from last week. When Alison was just a few weeks old, she started getting some diaper rash and we did what we were told by everyone to do: use Desitin. It works, what a great product! If you're using cloth diapers. Check out this site, which rates various brands of diaper creams based on their compatibility with cloth diapers:. Http:/ www.pinstripesandpolkadots.com/diaperrashcreams.htm. For $2.44, I bough...

Eco-Kid: September 2010
http://eco-kid.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 7, 2010. The wait is over! Alison Savannah was born 9/2/10 at 3:16am! She weighed 7 lbs, 14 oz and was 20.5 inches long. Technically I'd been in labor for 21 hours after my water broke, but things were not moving along as we would have liked and we ended up having a C-Section to avoid the risk of infection that sets in after your water has been broken 24 hours. We're both doing great! Even though I'm pretty sleepy, I think we got off pretty easy (so far)! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Eco-Kid: August 2010

Wednesday, August 18, 2010. Homemade Baby Food in Ice Cube Trays. Even though this baby won't be eating solid foods for at least six months (no, she's not born yet - six days until my due date! I've started to think about what I can feed her when the time comes. I plan to make my own baby food and got a food processor from a friend as a baby shower gift. I love that I've already been able to use it to make hummus. If you don't have ice cube trays already, they make some with lids just for baby food.
