Things I'm NOT Putting on My Baby Registry as a Crunchy Mom
Wipes warmer- I'll be using cloth wipes so this won't really be necessary, but even if I was using disposables I wouldn't be getting one. He'll get used to the wipes being cold, learning how to be mildly uncomfortable is okay.
Sound machine- My husband doesn't sleep well with extra noise and it would only get used as night since I'll be doing contact naps in a carrier. If we do decide we want white noise Spotify, YouTube, and countless other apps have it as an option on our phones.
Diaper pail- I'll be using cloth diapers so I'll have a wet bag instead, but I'd still probably just use a trash can with a good lid.
Dock-a-tot/bouncer/swing- I'll be holding/carrying him probably 80-90% of the time and when I want to put him down I'll just put him on a blanket or play mat on the floor. These aren't safe for sleep anyway, so I'd rather not put him in something I have to worry about him sleeping in.
Walker- I've seen a lot about these messing with the way they learn to walk. They're more likely to tip toe/walk on the front of their feet.
Play pen/pack and play- If I lived in a house maybe, but I currently live in a 900sqft apartment. If I don't want him in one of the two bedrooms or bathrooms I'll just close the door, otherwise the living room and kitchen are one big area where I can watch him. I already have baby locks on cabinets to keep the cats from opening them, so there's not much for him to get into.
Bottles- I am getting nipples, but I'm using mason jars for bottles so I just need a couple nipples that fit them. He'll only get maybe one bottle a day so I really don't need very many.
Changing table/cover- I'll probably just change him on the floor or wherever I am. I am getting a few washable mats to put on public changing tables that can be used as play mats later.
Baby food maker- I plan on doing baby lead weaning instead of purees.
Bottle warmer- I'll only use a it once a day so I'll just warm it in a bowl of warm water.
Baby monitor- he'll be sleeping with me and my apartment isn't big enough to need one anyway. I'll easily hear any fussing from a different room. I might find this useful in the future once I'm back on my parents farm so I can garden or take care of animals while they nap, but I also might just have them nap in the shade outside depending on weather lol.
Pacifiers- I'll just let him comfort nurse.
Baby registries are pretty personal. I try to be pretty minimal so these are just things I don't personally find necessary. I could change my mind on some of these once he's here or for future babies.

Hey, I saw an old post of yours about fridge alternatives and the possibility of using evaporation without electricity to keep things cool, and it reminded me of these: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pot-in-pot_refrigerator
Someone might have already shared it with you, but just in case I thought I would send you an ask.
Hey I love this! It can be made out of clay and I can easily test it out! Thank you so much, here's a picture of how it works for the followers:

Todays activity took me to the garden. I sowed some more seeds for the fall - radish, lettuce, and carrots for the third time.
Apparently carrots don’t germinate in temps over 80 degrees. I didn’t find that out until after the second attempt.
I’ll probably do a last harvest of my tiny peppers and giant basil this weekend and then take them out and maybe plant something else for the fall.
Oh and I accidentally grew some pumpkins from the ones I chucked out back last year 🎃

Soft Scrub
I use this all over the house. I have a glass top stove and this is gentle enough to scrub that as well as strong enough for using in toilets and bathtubs/showers.
Soft Scrub Cleaner:
1 cup Baking Soda
1/2 cup Castile Soap
1 tablespoon Isopropyl Alcohol
15 drops Essential Oil (optional, if you use scented castile soap you may not find this necessary)
Mix into paste and store in glass jar, use anywhere you need scrubbing power.

To any of my crunchy/all natural/zero waste/toxinfree type followers: how do we feel about those reusable beeswax wraps and food storage bags? Do any of you actually use them? And do they work well?

Creating a Safe Haven: The Importance of Natural Cleaners in Our Homes
Tumblr media
Hello dear homemakers and health enthusiasts! Today, let's dive into a topic that's close to my heart as both a homemaker and a naturopathic geek: the importance of using safe and natural cleaners in our homes. In our quest to create a clean and welcoming environment for our families, it's essential that we prioritize not just cleanliness, but also the health and well-being of our loved ones. Let's explore the impact of conventional cleaning products on our health, particularly on cognition and toxicity, and discover the transformative power of natural alternatives.
First and foremost, the hidden dangers lurking in many conventional cleaning products. From harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances to toxic fumes and irritants, these products can wreak havoc on our health, compromising indoor air quality and posing risks to our respiratory system, skin, and overall well-being. But perhaps most concerning of all is the impact of these chemicals on our children, who are particularly vulnerable to their effects.
You see, kids have a knack for getting into everything—including cleaning products. Whether it's curious toddlers exploring under the sink or adventurous preschoolers mistaking colorful bottles for toys, the risk of accidental ingestion or exposure to harmful chemicals is all too real. And the consequences can be dire, ranging from mild irritations and allergic reactions to more serious health issues such as respiratory problems, neurological effects, and even poisoning.
But fear not, dear friends, for there is a solution: the transformative power of natural cleaners. By harnessing the cleansing power of nature's bounty—think vinegar, baking soda, essential oils, and plant-based detergents—we can effectively clean our homes without compromising our health or the environment. These gentle yet effective alternatives not only leave your home sparkling clean but also provide peace of mind, knowing that you're creating a safe and healthy haven for your family to thrive in.
Moreover, natural cleaners offer a myriad of benefits beyond their safety profile. They're environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and free from harmful chemicals and toxins, making them a sustainable choice for eco-conscious homemakers. Plus, they often boast antimicrobial, antifungal, and antibacterial properties, helping to combat germs and pathogens without the need for harsh chemicals or synthetic additives.
Let's make a pledge to prioritize the health and safety of our families by embracing the transformative power of natural cleaners. Let's banish harmful chemicals from our homes and replace them with gentle yet effective alternatives that nourish both body and soul. Together, we can create a clean, welcoming, and truly safe haven for our loved ones to thrive in. Here's what I'm using and loving here in the cozy little cabin.
Here's an amazing recipe I created to make your own homemade cleaner at home:
Lavender Lemonade Sparkle Spray:
Ingredients:
1 cup distilled water
1/4 cup white vinegar
10 drops lavender essential oil
5 drops lemon essential oil
1 tablespoon witch hazel
1 teaspoon liquid castile soap
Instructions:
In a clean spray bottle, combine the distilled water and white vinegar.
Add the lavender and lemon essential oils, along with the witch hazel and liquid castile soap.
If desired, add a splash of rubbing alcohol for extra cleaning power and sparkle.
Secure the spray bottle cap and shake well to mix all ingredients thoroughly.
Your Lavender Lemonade Sparkle Spray is now ready to use! Simply spritz onto surfaces and wipe clean with a cloth for a fresh, sparkling finish that leaves behind a delightful aroma of lavender and lemon.
Enjoy the unique blend of calming lavender and refreshing lemon as you clean your home, turning chores into a fragrant and uplifting experience.
Enjoy!
Love, Kimmi
