Doing new things can be scary. When it comes to change in your kids' lives it can be downright terrifying. We’ve all experienced some big lifestyle changes in the past year that thinking about more change might be exhausting. Unfortunately, baby and kids don't stop growing. We want to shed some practical suggestions for some of the key transitions your kids will go through and how to address those those in your home. Change is good but sometimes staying where we are is easier. Or at least more comfortable. When it comes to raising children there are changes and transitions at every turn. In this post we address three common transitions faced by our clients and share how we suggest moving forward with more grace and confidence.

While it may feel overwhelming to commit to learning about what each and every product is made out of, shopping with brands that are committed to safe, nontoxic materials is our favorite #momhack for keeping our little ones and the planet safe. We are always looking for ways to incorporate nature into children’s rooms and spaces. Whether it’s with bringing actual nature into the room via plants that are beneficial to the air quality or using products that we know are free of chemicals. While our adult bodies can (sometimes) withstand environmental allergens and chemicals, little bodies are much more susceptible and reactive. Our goal is to help our clients create rooms that are not only beautiful to look at -- but safe and healthy for our sweet little ones. As a general rule, we suggest avoiding products containing heavy metals, lead, mercury and cadmium, formaldehyde, phthalates, BPA and BPS, PVC, VOCs, PFAS, flame retardants, boric acid and fragrances. Why do we recommend avoiding these? Because they can affect behavior, disrupt endocrine systems, imbalance hormones, and in some cases are carcinogenic. Below are some of our favorite go-to retailers and brands committed to creating things that are good for humans and the earth.
