Trees and Flowers

When I was young, my family would often take walks around our neighborhood... usually after breakfast on the weekend. In my adolescent years, I always thought it was strange that my parents were so intrigued by the ways that people chose to landscape their front yards. Let me tell you, they can wax poetic about some trees.

As you might have guessed, I am now fascinated by all of the trees and flowers that I see when I take Baby Bee out for walks. "Wowa!" (read, flower) she exclaims, just as soon as I push the stroller past the Egyptian lilies outside our building. Something tells me that she will grow to love trees and flowers as much as I do.

Here are some shots of my favorites around our neighborhood:

Totally Honest

Have you heard of The Honest Company?  It's an online company that Jessica Alba founded in 2012.  They specialize in non-toxic, eco-friendly products for the home, baby, and body care.  I ordered their Diaper Discovery Kit (pictured above) about 4 months ago, and have been hooked ever since. 

You would think that safe, eco-friendly products (especially diapers) would be too expensive to buy on a monthly basis. But, I find that they are absolutely affordable / comparable to conventional diapers for about $80/month. The Diaper Bundle option that we have comes with six 36-count packs of diapers, from which I choose different stylish designs. Their fantastic Honest Wipes* are great for diaper changes, cleaning toys, and freshening Bee up after messy meals. I recently discovered that they are SUPER at removing makeup...

We also get their Essentials Bundle, which allows you to pick and choose five household items (from laundry detergent to fruit and veggie wash) for under $40. I especially love their hand soap which has a lovely tangerine scent, and the body oil is great because it absorbs quickly, and has light and sweet coconut fragrance.

The best part is that shipping is FAST--I'm talking next-day service!   

Give them a try!  You won't be disappointed.   

*For a limited time, you get a month's supply for the life of your membership when you order the Diapers Bundle.
