While I am not by any means considered an “earthy” mom, I do however find myself on occasion using products that are eco-friendly, especially when it comes to baby products.  So when I had the opportunity to try out Jessica Alba‘s eco-friendly, non toxic baby products called the The Honest Company, I jumped at the chance.

I was recently given a small sample of diapers and wipes to try out and was sold immedialty on how cute, trendy and how eye-catching the packaging was.

Besides its eco-friendly, non toxic baby and home products, what impressed me the most is that the company takes in supporting companies that give back. So I was pleased to learn that The Honest Company donates time, products, and money to a great organization. Their current charitable partner is Baby2Baby.org, a non-profit that supplies families in need with essential baby gear and clothing for children up to age 12.

One thing I really miss when I am pregnant is that delicious glass of wine I used to enjoy at the end of the day when the kid was asleep and I was ready to relax with my husband.  In a few short weeks I will once again be able to hear the sound of wine being poured into my glass.  The question is which wine should I choose as my first post baby wine?  Well the Bordeaux Wine Council has just released the Today’s Bordeaux selection webpage.  If you are curious as to what constitutes a Bordeaux here is your answer: these wines come out of the Bordeaux wine region which is located in the southwest of France near the Atlantic coast.  This page lets you quickly choose from 100 wines that will fit your situation perfectly.  Have a house warming party, a family dinner, a nite hanging with friend?  Well Today’s Bordeaux gives you selections that range in price from $9-$35 and includes red, white, rose, and sweet wines that will appeal to any taste.

Now I have to go on a mission and pick out the one that appeals to a soon two be mother of two that will need a little something to celebrate and relax all at the same time.  I don’t think I will have a problem finding a bottle or two that is just right!
