Before I got pregnant I considered myself to be moderately cautious about products, but didn't put too much time or effort into what I brought in my home. My first rabbit hole began with picking a prenatal vitamin...and after that, I researched everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. When I researched prenatal vitamins I realized that most do not contain everything you and your baby need for a healthy pregnancy, and on top of that - they aren't all bioavailable. Which got me thinking, if the vitamins advertised for moms and readily available in the stores aren't going to provide my daughter with the best building blocks for life, then what else am I missing? So my research journey continued with everything from diapers and baby food to clothing, cookware, water, and more. 

I noticed that lots of products are labeled "non-toxic" or "green," but they don't always list why they give themselves that label. Are these products truly cutting out every chemical I want to avoid? What are the certain chemicals I should be looking out for? Why am I avoiding these chemicals? Oh great, now I have to read a 20 page research report? Do I have time for this? 

I could not find a resource out there that gave me everything I was looking for in one place, which is why I created this website. I want to provide moms with a site they can go to that has everything they need in an easily digestible format. I will provide you with the major chemicals to look out for, a short description as to why they are important to avoid, and higher quality products that avoid these chemicals. Studies behind all of these statements will be linked as well if you would like to take a deeper dive. Please feel free to reach out to me with questions, concerns, and suggestions. I hope this site makes your journey to non-toxic living easier!
