Hi. My name is Kristen.
Not too long ago I ran away to Hawaii and got married. Not too long after that I found out I was pregnant. Pregnancy has always kinda freaked me out. And now that it is here I’m kinda freaked, but kinda excited.
In all things I want to do what is best for my baby. And it seems like a really great time to get more ecologically and socially conscious. At the same time most days I don’t even have the energy to brush my hair. It seems like there is a lot of scary information out there and a lot of things you can waste your money on trying to do the right thing.
So I invite you to join me on my quest to sniff out the truly baby-friendly, earth-friendly, and socially responsible products from the hazardous, overpriced, and green washed garbage that we are bombarded with, while keeping in mind what is realistic for new and expectant mothers. I may not have all of the answers, but I am committed to finding them.
I like to read, research and ask “why” a whole lot. I am cheap and will only splurge on something if it is really worth it. Hopefully all of my pregnancy and baby misadventures will be of use to other mommies out there who are looking for some practical answers on living in a conscientious way while understanding that some days it might be all a new or expectant mom can do to brush her teeth in the morning. Pregnant women and mothers have a target on their backs for marketing gimmicks so with some humor and a TON of research I will try to sort the wheat from the chaff so you don’t have to.
I live in Los Angeles with my husband. We had our first child in the beginning of 2010.
