Last minute Eco-Friendly Gifts for Tots!




Want to find a last minute gift for your baby or toddler and be Eco-Friendly?? There are options!! I have found several at Giggle.com I really like Giggle's options available for babies and toddlers that are non-toxic. Each item is rated by Giggle's own criteria system to help you choose what is best for your child. I had my baby registry at this store and found them to be above and beyond compared to other stores. Many products are made from Organic Cotton, Replenishable Rubberwood, or Recycled Materials.

Pictured above are 2 of Brooke's favorites!! The Baby Bjorn Babysitter Balance is a must!!! We found this to be so useful for going to the beach or by the pool because it folds flat and is made from organic cotton. The Jungle Playmat speaks for itself! It is the ONLY mat I have found on the market that is made from organic cotton. The monkey and elephant are also removable so I can use them on the stroller as well!! She loves this mat and I have been able to wash it on the gentle cycle.
Happy Shopping and Merry Christmas!!

Eco-Friendly Gifts Galore!!!



Looking for a unique gift this year??? Want to get something useful or thoughtful?? Why not find an Eco-Friendly gift this year instead of a tie or a sweater. There are several websites that can help you find just the right gift and have it in time for Christmas.

Try Gifts.com

The Ultimate Green Store.

There is also Green Depot.com They have recycled gift paper, ribbons, gift tags, packing materials and unique gifts.

If you want to send a food basket, Pristine Planet has great options!!

If you don't want to wait for shipping, I found Eco-Friendly Gift bags at Kmart!!! As well as an Ecosmart/PVC free computer bag and backpack!! If you look hard enough you can find an Earth Friendly gift. Or you can always bake someone cookies, fudge, or make a card.

If you are looking for a gift, try to find something made from Organic Cotton or Bamboo that is carried at Target. Most stores carry these types of items now. Even Walmart has options.

Happy Shopping!!!

LEED Certified/Eco-Friendly Hotel- Viana Hotel and Spa, near NYC



Over the past 2 months we have stayed at 4 hotels. Why you ask?? The first was business related. The other 3 hotel stays were because of a boiler replacement gone wrong. I have to say that finding an Eco-Friendly Hotel is becoming easier than I thought. My favorite hotel thus far was the Viana Hotel and Spa in Westbury, NY.

It is a new LEED Certified hotel. It doesn't have that offensive "New" smell due to the off-gasing of chemicals in carpet and paint because they have used Eco-Friendly materials in the hotel. Anyone who has chemical sensitivities will greatly appreciate this hotel. The towels are bamboo and the cups in the bathroom are GREENWARE biodegradable. The parking lot is made from recycled tires so the new black top smell isn't lingering. The hotel even has Feng Shui design.

We stayed in a suite with a kitchenette which makes life so much easier with a child. There was a whirlpool tub and a shower in the bathroom. There was also a great amount of storage space in the suite as well. I could have just moved in permanently! With 2 flat screens and a 3rd in the bathroom, I know my husband could have stayed longer!! When we stay at hotels, we always put the DO NOT DISTURB sign on the door to avoid the housekeeping crew. At the The Viana Hotel and Spa, we welcomed them because they use Earth Friendly Products, so no toxic fumes!!!!! I can't say enough of how impressed I was with this hotel's effort to be GREEN and ECO-FRIENDLY. My husband even spoke with the chef to check that they had Organic Eggs to feed our baby for breakfast!!! How rare is that??? If I only had a nanny I could have taken advantage of the Hotel Spa!

Next time you need to stay at a hotel, why not Google one that is Eco-Friendly? More and more are going GREEN. Maybe something else will force us to go to a hotel and we will stay the Viana Hotel and Spa again!
