I am incredibly excited that Frigidaire and our friends at Mom Central have chosen me to share my experiences with some exciting new appliances with you.

These new appliances save three things I care about: money, time, and the earth’s resources…

loth diapering is environmentally-friendly and costs less than using disposable diapers, but the majority of moms still use disposable diapers. You’ve probably heard stories from your mother or grandmother about the hassle of using traditional cloth diapers. For me, that was a factor in choosing disposable diapers.

For Mother’s Day, how about an eco-chic gift that also helps women in impoverished areas avoid or overcome slavery?

Children are natural ecologists. They love to play outside and appreciate the joys of discovering rocks, plants, and animals along the way.

What they need a little help with is conservation–learning to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Shutting off the lights, taking shorter showers, and opening a window instead of turning on the air conditioning are all ways that even the littlest person can make a difference.

The Plan Toys Green Dollhouse aims to introduce children to sustainable living through a concept dollhouse. Every aspect of the Green Dollhouse helps children learn how people can co-exist with their environment in a more eco-friendly way…
