“You’ve heard of the Texas-sized island of trash swirling in the Pacific? I’m sure there’s at least a Delaware-sized dump of single socks, lost mittens, sunglasses and tiny baby barrettes out there somewhere too.”
Barrettes and clips are a nearly inevitable part of parenting a little girl. Unless you resort to a pixie cut - and [...]

I don’t know a single mother who doesn’t bristle even the slightest bit when someone beams at her daughter and comments, “What a handsome young man!” Even mothers who’d sooner put lipstick on a toddler than dress their daughters in pink ruffles find ways to identify their little girls as…well, little girls.

These products are made with families in mind - no harmful chemicals whatsoever. And they actually work and smell great, while still being 100% safe for our kids.

When we choose to purchase anti-bacterial handsoaps, our aim is to ensure that our kids are going to be safer. But what many parents know is that a potentially dangerous chemical called “Triclosan” is one of the active ingredients in these products.
CleanWell, a dad-founded company inspired by a boy with an immune deficiency disorder, has [...]

Thanks to flu season and all the other lovely germs that seem to flourish in the cold winter weather, most of us parents are handwashing freaks. And rightfully so. Handwashing is the number one way to prevent the spread of germs.
