Last winter, we received an adorable animal humidifier from CRANE to test out. This humidifier made a world of different in our house, especially when my daughter got sick and needed extra moisture in the air to help her breathe. This year, we are testing out the Tear Drop shaped Cool Mist Humidifier from CRANE and I am happy to say that we are giving it a big thumbs up in our house. The one feature about this particular model that I really like is the ability to aim the direction of the mist! Just like the animal one, we … Continue reading →

One such hand-me-down was my sister’s washable breast pads. Being a graduate of an Environmental Science Program, I am always looking for ways to reduce my ecological footprint. I was keen to use these washable pads but soon became frustrated, as they would leak through each night to my pajama shirts. Not only was it annoying to have to wash my pajamas and clothes every … Continue reading →
