We all do the best we can to be environmentally friendly so I won’t preach to the choir here but there are a few products that have come into my life recently that I have to share with you. The first is the Bobble.  These BPA free reusable water bottles come with a replaceable carbon filter which helps remove contaminants from regular municipal water.  I usually take my SIGG bottle with me when I fly and fill it up at a drinking fountain before I board the plane but airport water always tastes gross to me.  Most municipal water is fine but for me it’s a taste issue and the carbon filter eliminates taste and odor. It doesn’t hurt that it’s got a cool design either. Buy yours here for $9.95.

With the new babe I am amazed at how much laundry we do. It had actually started bothering me how much water, detergent and energy I’ve been using up for such tiny clothes. So I was so excited when Method, one of my favorite brands, came out with Method Laundry detergent. The small bottle is made from recyclable material and holds enough detergent to wash 50 loads of laundry!  Their formula is biodegradable and 95% plant based so it won’t pollute the waterways, it’s hypo-allergenic which is nice for the babies skin and it smells great! Next up is a clothes line for the backyard so we can reduce our energy cost.  You can find out where to buy Method Laundry here.

I have lost so many brain cells since giving birth and as the hubs is fond of saying, “coffee makes parenting possible”. How true that is but so is having a handy dandy list to get you going in the right direction once you have that coffee coursing through your system.

This clever Feelgood List™ from Up Up Creative is exactly what I need.  It’s hard to stay motivated to do things for yourself when you are so sleep deprived. Having my own feelgood list sure would help, because some days I can’t even remember that I need to shower! Create your own list and see more printed matter from Up Up Creative here.

I thought I was hungry all the time while I was pregnant, but now that I’m nursing I’m positively ravenous.  With the mental exhaustion from the lack of sleep things start to go by the way side real quick, like keeping organized and remembering to feed yourself.  One of these cute and convenient lunch skins reusable sandwich bags would make me feel like I have it together and would be easy to toss in my diaper bag for when I’m on the go.  Now I just need to find the time to make that sandwich!
