To Blog or Not to Blog?

I am starting this blog with some hesitancy.  I have considered starting a blog many times in the past but stopped myself as soon as I thought about the time that it would drain from my already hectic schedule. When I woke up this morning, I realized that I absolutely love sharing all of the great baby gadgets that I encounter.  One thing I definitely did not realize before becoming pregnant was that there are about as many different choices of pacifiers in this world as there are children.  This statement does not only apply to pacifiers... unfortunately it applies to about every baby necessity under the sun.  This is crazy making for new moms because you realize that not just ANY pacifier is a good pacifier.  All of the sudden you are forced to decide what type of parent you will be... are you going to breastfeed?  Are you concerned with environmental toxins? How concerned are you about these toxins? Are you going to use a pacifier at all?  How much am I willing to spend for a pacifier?  Should I go with an orthodontic pacifier?

After you do extensive research on pacifiers, you realize that there are only a few of the seemingly MILLIONS that are any good.  You decide on a Natursutten Rounded Rubber Pacifier and wonder "Why am I buying a pacifier made in Denmark?  Haven't Americans figured out that plastic is bad for babies!"  The next day you wake up and start all over again with the next product on your list.  Bottles...should I go with glass or plastic?  Or stainless steel?!

I have decided that I am a very heavily leaning Eco-friendly mom with many exceptions daily (I drive an SUV... there is no way my rear facing Clek Foonf and Bugaboo Donkey would fit in a Hybrid Honda).  I have many favorite products to make everyone's life a little easier, organic baby food recipes, and tips that I will be sharing daily (or as often as my aforementioned hectic schedule permits)!
