Faves

Here I will post about things that I love with pictures of the product.

Sunscreen:

I, like you, don't enjoy a sunburn, and I certainly don't want to see my children suffering from one either.  I have used all sorts of organic, non-toxic sunscreens over the years and have finally found my fave.  I absolutely LOVE Goddess Garden Organics Sunny Kids Broad Spectrum Sunblock.  It's wonderful because most of it's ingredients are organic,  it doesn't burn if it gets in your child's eyes (which for me is huge), it is broad spectrum and the spray makes it easy to apply.  Yes, it's thick but easy to rub in. When I put it on their faces, I squirt it in my hands and then apply it.  Most other organic sunscreens are in a tube and are really thick and difficult to put on.  For us, this one is great because when your toddler is squirming away from you you can spray it on, pin them down and rub it in easier.  It also protects for long periods of time out in the sun.  The only thing is that you will need to reapply after 40 minutes of playing in the water, but I would do that anyway.  You may find mixed reviews online, but, for us, this one wins.  Sunny Kids Organic Sunblock



Dust buster:

 Did you grow up with one of these things?  I did it and I'm bringing it back.  This thing is awesome!  I love this dust buster for so many reasons. It's so great to have for those small little bits of whatever that are on the floor that your crawler is sure to pick up and put in their mouth or for cleaning up the mess they make during meal time.  This dust buster will pick up those dry and wet messes.  It's fantastic!

Hair brush:

Check this out ladies and gentlemen with long hair or those that have children with long and/or curly hair that is impossible to brush or comb through!  This brush is ridiculously amazing.  I don't know who came up with the design, as this brush just looks like your ordinary brush, but I promise you it is, in fact, extraordinary!  Both my 2 year old daughter and I use it and we have no tears and are able to brush through wet or dry hair with total ease.  It is truly an incredible hair brush that, I believe, anyone with long hair must own.   The Wet Brush 2 Pack on Amazon

Household wipes:

                             

Have you ever used one of your child's baby wipes to help clean up a mess in your house other than a dirty diaper?  I know I have...at least 100 times!  The only problem with those is that they don't disinfect the way that these do.  I love that they are safe to have in my home with my kiddos running around and they clean up messes quick.  Seventh Generation Disinfecting Multi-Surface on Amazon

Favorite App for the 1st year:

This app is awesome!  It has been so helpful and the best part is my hubby, mom, the nanny and I all use it from different devises (iPhone, iPad and android) and can log in anytime from anywhere.  It is easy and intuitive!  And it's great for parents of multiples because you can have all your children listed.  It's keeps track of breastfeeding, sleep time, poopy diapers, doctor appointment info, milestones and so much more!  Definitely worth checking out here or download to your phone from the app store.  Baby Connect

Environment and Family Friendly Products:

Norwex is a fantastic company that sells microfiber cloths, floor mops, bath towels and many other products that are environmentally friendly and tough on dirt while toxic free and safe for your home.  My favorite products are the dry/wet mop which is like a swiffer but reusable and more efficient, the glass/mirror cleaning cloth because you only need to use it with water and there are never any streaks left behind, the baby towel/wash clothes because they are super soft and the dust glove because it easily picks up dust and you don't need to use any sort of cleaning solution with it. To learn more you can visit their website Norwex  I know a helpful distributor.  Her name is Gloria Bradford and her email address is cleaningforcauses@gmail.com.  She donates all commissions made from purchases to Friends of Joshua Orphan Care in Malawi, Africa.
