I just finished reading "Label Reading: How to Skip the Hype and Find the Truly Safe Products" by Dr. Marny Turvill in this month's Family Time Magazine. The article describes the many unsafe ingredients that are in a number of products today. Fortunately, the author provides resoures on how to buy truly safe products for you and your family. Reading the article is not going to automatically make you a green shopper, however, the more you read about "green" products the more you just know and the more critical a shopper you become.

Having Faith
Book Review
I just finished reading "Having Faith: An Ecologist's Journey to Motherhood" by Sandra Steingraber. The book was recommended by my labor doula after the birth of my first child and that child is now almost 5 and I've just now gotten around to reading it! However, I'm so glad I did. The book is a wonderfully lyrical description of one mother's journey through pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding. The book is a little dated as it was written in 2001, however, I still found the historical and biological information fascinating, especially the information in Chapter 12 which describes the intersection between the food chain and environmental toxins and the impact on breastmilk. The book is not like anything I've read in other pregnancy books (and trust me I've read a lot!). You can find the book at www.amazon.com.
Quote of the Day
Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. ~Elizabeth Stone
