β β Last Week's Most Read Articles βMindfulness Exercises to Reduce Anxiety in Kids β βDetox Your Pet's Environmentβ Pets aren't living as long as they used to... and many of them suffer with everything from allergies to cancer. The two main causes seem to be food quality and the indoor / lawn toxins they're exposed to. Even if you don't spray chemicals on your own lawn, every time they go in someone else's, there is potential exposure. And they're tracking pesticides back into your home. Here's how to limit your pet's exposure to the toxins that might be making them sick. β βMattress Brands Caught Lying About Their Certificationsβ We update our guide to organic mattresses a few times a year. Instead of adding more trusted brands, it feels like we're always expanding the avoid list π© The list is getting so long, we're considering a separate article on the companies that have been sued for false claims. For now, you can find those details here. If you're in the market for a new mattress, you can skip all of that and go straight to these two brands. They're the only ones who have all the proper certifications for every step of their supply chains. βNaturepedic - GOTS and GOLS certified and made in the U.S. with a 25-year warranty. Use code Greenchild15 to get 15% off the purchase of their top-rated, certified organic mattresses and accessories. βObasan - GOTS and GOLS certified and handmade in Canada in a carbon neutral facility. They also have a very elaborate customization process. And with any adult mattress purchase, they offer two free organic pillows with code GREENCHILDMAGAZINEBED. β βBringing Montessori Education Homeβ As a mother of kids who are both Montessori educated and homeschooled (with high school dual enrollment added to the mix), I loved this conversation with Montessori educator turned homeschool mom, Jordan Gurganus. She shares her decision to move from the classroom to homeschool and how she brings the Montessori method into their daily routine. β As always, feel free to reply. I always love hearing from you!
