This is a fantastic book that gives insight in to every question an expecting mother could possibly have!  It is,by far, the best baby shower gift I have ever received!

Going green doesn’t have to drain your bank account.  In fact, going green can do quite the opposite if you make the right changes!  So how do we stay earth-friendly without exhausting our bank account?  Below are 10 sure ways to decrease household costs and help the environment at the same time!

1.  Running errands

Shopping for cute little baby shoes is so much fun!  Now that we have more access to shoe stores online, it is important to know the sizes of shoes in UK and in European sizes as they compare with US sizes.  With this chart, you will be able to shop at any online shoe store and find the size that is right for your little one.  Keep in mind that children’s feet grow quickly and that each brand and style may be slightly off.  I always purchase shoes for my growing little ones that are a half a size larger than what I think they wear.  This is will give you a little extra time between shoe purchases and will ensure that the shoes you buy online aren’t too small.  If they are too big, then you will have a pair of shoes for the near future, but shoes that are too small are of no use.

For me, this product is the best thing to come out since the bottle! They are available everywhere and are inexpensive considering how long they can be used for! I received my first Boppy pillow from a friend of mine a couple of weeks before having my first child. With all the stuff I had received, the pillow ended up in the back of the baby’s closet for an entire month. When I finally saw it and pulled it out, I loved how much nicer it made breast feeding!

It’s no secret that we are all looking for ways to save money.  On average, a family of 4 can spend $500 or more per month in groceries!  With prices increasing, and pre-made foods looking very tempting to the busy eye, how can we all save some green on our grocery bill?
