Breeders: School Daze

March 2010


It seems like just yesterday, my son took his first steps and spoke his first words. Well four very short years later and his stay-home-with-mamma-in-the-afternoon days are coming to an end.

Breeders: Making small footprints smaller

November 2009 Issue

Kermit is right; it's not easy being green. By now, we realize we must reduce the amount of junk we purchase, limit the trash we produce and recycle as a last resort.

This is much harder once you bring a child into the world. Diapers alone wreak havoc on landfills. And, don't get me started on the pre-packaged kid snacks and food that are covered in layers of plastic, foil, and cardboard. (Suck it, Lunchables!)
