What is EMF Radiation and How Can We Protect Ourselves?
Exposure to radiation carries two types of health risks; those typically associated with low level, long term exposure, such as cancer and DNA mutation and those from short term, high levels, acute exposure including burns and radiation sickness. A few years ago, I had no clue what EMFs were. Just being honest. It’s not something that I think about on a daily basis. When I started researching I realized something. Technology has greatly improved the way that we live and communicate it has also introduced us to EMF radiation on a regular basis. By making smart choices about EMF radiation protection, we can make our homes safer for ourselves, our…

Still drinking tap water? STOP! Do this instead.

I know that even though I am feeling suppperrrr tired from a long night of no sleep (thank you teething!) I’m super pumped because we finally got our Crystal Quest under the sink water filtration system installed! It has taken me months to get an electrician and plumber to our house to do the job – I started the process during their “busy season” of course! I’ve wanted to do this for quite sometime now.

The Real Deal on “Greenwashing”

Why You Need A Naturepedic Mattress
This post is in partner with Naturepedic. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. I am SO pumped about this feature because it’s a biggie. The need for an organic mattress never occurred to me until I started looking into options for the kids. To be honest, Derrek and I were given a mattress as a wedding gift from his parents so we didn’t get to pick that out. I didn’t care about any feature for a mattress other than was it soft enough for me. I cannot stand a hard mattress. Derrek on the other hand loves a hard mattress. The…
