Vicks VapoRub May Pose Risks to Children’s Health Try This Natural Option Instead

Posted on Monday, February 8, 2010 by Jen

What former child doesn't associate being stuffed up and sick as a kid with the smell of Vicks VapoRub? I remember running away from my mom and when she finally caught me, turning my head away as she painted my upper lip with the eye burning, stinging goop. Did it help? I don't know. Maybe the stinging and burning distracted me from my ailment...

There is nothing more exciting to a parent than watching their child grow and achieve milestone after milestone. As a new mom myself, I eagerly anticipate my son’s first smile, first word, first step. To help him be as healthy as possible, he has his spine checked regularly.

Back to Cloth for the Rest of “Diaper-hood” Thanks to Sweet Pea

Posted on Wednesday, December 16, 2009 by Jen

When I had the twins, I used cloth diapers a lot of the time from when they were around 3 months until they were around 9 months. My diaper of choice at that time was Sckoon Organic Cloth.

One such brand is Sweet Pea Cloth Diapers.
