This is a little bit of a “vent” post. Please don’t tear me apart. I’ve talked about how hard it is to do Christmas without Santa when you have family & friends shoving it down your children’s throats. I used to love Christmas but since having children, I start to dread the season beginning around Halloween. Of all the challenges of motherhood, I never imagined this one.
This week I read an article on Mind Body Green about a woman who hasn’t created any trash in two years. I find that incredibly impressive, and I do think it’s possible, but convenient? For a family of 5? Not so sure for us. (Though a family of 4 did it.)
Post contains affiliate links. Cafemom’s “The Stir” is aptly named, as many of the articles tend to be click-bait and/or pot stirring topics. Their recent 10 most dangerous products sold article was misleading and gave incomplete information. Here’s my take, minus the irritating slideshow and Pampers ads.














Maria wants to live in a world where cloth diapers are the norm and moms can make parenting choices without judgement. When she’s not chasing her 18, 14 and 11-year old kids around, you might find her checking out the latest gadgets, organizing something (again) or exercising in the fresh air.
