I am always on the lookout for chemically free hair and skin products to use on my son. When, I was offered the opportuity to sample and review Hairykids, I jumped at the chance. Hiarykids is a company own by two sisters that live on Saltspring Island. They produce a line of shampoos, conditioners, bodywash/ bubble bath and styling gels that are all natural and safe to use on kids. They are free of dyes, fragrance, paraben, gmo, and sodium lauryl sulfate. All of their products are fair trade, not tested on animals and preserved with all natural ingredients. They are scented using essential oils. The products are also biodegratable and the bottles they are stored in are recyclable. [...]

This is the time of year, when families load up into cars, RVs, and planes and head out on a big family adventure. My husband and I will be taking our kids on not one, but two plane trips in the very near future. Traveling with kids can cause a lot of anxiety for parents, but I’ve found that a little preparation can go a long way, and so here are my tips for traveling with kids. [...] We have two fantastic giveaways on right now! Enter to win: a Bummis Swimmi reusable swim diaper for your baby! Good luck! We also currently have three GREAT discount codes available to our readers: Hank&Cheef is offering readers 10% off of their large men’s single 12×12 Hank&Cheefs and 15% off of their 3-pack Hank&Cheefs. Do you ever get frustrated when you hear about yet another kid product recall? Do you, like me, wish that there was somewhere you could go and check on the safety & green-ness of a product BEFORE you spent the money? Well how cool is this – Green Parents’ List does exactly that (and hooray its Canadian!) [...] Yes, it’s still July, and yes, the beginning of the school year is still five or so weeks away. But time flies when you’re having fun, and for some reason especially when it’s summer. For those of you Back-to-School planning ahead of time, boy do we have a giveaway for you! Mabel’s Labels was kind enough to sponsor another giveaway with the Spilt Milk Moms, and here’s what’s up for grabs: Colourful Ultimate Back-to-School Combo! [...] Both Husbando and I are avid readers and we are desperate to pass on our love of books to Little Miss. We’ve been reading to her regularly since she was born and a couple of weeks ago we discovered her sitting on the floor, surrounded by her books, “reading” to herself (with an upside down book). Her favourite book, hands down, to either “read” or to have read to her, is Look – There’s a Baby by Emma Dodd. Each page of this board book features a different illustration of a baby, and the story is told in rhyme (Look there’s a baby who’s dressed and ready, look there’s a baby who’s cuddling teddy…) until on the last page there is a little “mirror” and the line “Look there’s a baby who looks like you!” That “surprise mirror ending” as the cover proclaims is guaranteed to make Little Miss smile with delight and pause only long enough to sign “more” and read the book all over again! [...] When T-dog was about six months old, he became unbelievably grabby! He would grab anything and everything within reach, and so I sadly retired my necklaces to the jewelry box fearing they would get broken. Therefore, it was with great excitement that I opened my new Teething Bling necklace kindly given to me from Smart Mom Jewelry. [...] My three-year-old son loves board games, which is great because I love them too. Not only do I think playing board games is fun, but I also love that playing a board game with my child is a great way to connect with him. It’s much more interactive than if we played a video game. My entire family is a fan of the games from I Can Do That! Games, and that’s why we were excited to try a variety of their games out recently, including the award winning Curious George Discovery Beach game. [...] Naturally sweetened using cane sugar instead of artificial sweeteners, Tetley Tea Infusions are concentrated packages of syrup which you add to cold water for an instant ‘iced’ tea beverage. There are four fabulous tea-based flavours to choose from: Green Tea, Pomegranate, Lemon, and Blueberry. Each of them is refreshing and delicious! One box contains six 30ml sachets of Tea Infusions, and each sachet has enough syrup to be mixed with 500ml (two cups) of cold water. [...] We recently ran a contest to try out a new Broody Chick product: Bug Be Gone. Twelve lucky contest winners and I got a free bottle of Broody Chick’s Bug Be Gone lotion to test out and give their feedback. Overall the lotion was very well received in terms of keeping the bugs away. Everyone that tried it said that they had no, or very few bug bites, after using the lotion. I went on an overnight camping trip with several teachers, and we all thought that it worked very well at keeping the mosquitoes away provided you reapplied the lotion after an hour or so. [...]
