I thought he was crazy until I tried it! Just a thought!<br /><br />Good luck with your arrival, and on your green living! Wished I had been this conscious when I had mine 14 years ago! <br /><br />your follower, Tammy in tuscanyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422409496148630282.post-53688364368280194552011-09-03T08:46:18.830+02:002011-09-03T08:46:18.830+02:00It sounds like you have approached this very sensi...It sounds like you have approached this very sensibly. I am no expert but I like shag you have done. In Australia we have quite a few natural options for baby bath care are so on. Locally I have bought handmade soap made from goats milk. Maybe there are some options like that on Italy too?<br />Very exciting!!

Either it's hard to find or it's way too expencive that can't afford that. Second-hand is good in clothes, getting things from the friends and fanily too! <br /><br />In Finland I did love the fact that we have many great fleamarkets where you can buy clothes in good quality so cheap. I'm missing that in France actually.. We have fleamarket on our square every sunday, it's freaking expencive! <br /><br />I hope you are feeling good and soon seeing some pictures! :)<br /><br />xx Sinisiniannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127068744018350518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422409496148630282.post-44088912634435152602011-09-03T02:14:38.914+02:002011-09-03T02:14:38.914+02:00Hi Sarah Elizabeth

I think you’re right, the best way in finding eco friendly clothes is to find second hand ones and some of the pieces I’ve loved the most that Grace has worn were hand me downs. While not all my purchases are ‘green’, I do stick to just the basics, in fact I’m a bit worried as I don’t really have many clothes for bub #2 given that I’m having a bub in a different to season to my winter baby Grace. There is so much out there to buy that it can be rather overwhelming for parents, but really, not much is needed initially. We found our baby carrier fantastic and a Moses basket is great for those early stages. It’s so lovely to be able to share this stage of pregnancy with you and I look forward to being able to share more once our bubs arrive!! Hope you’re feeling well, big hugs... <br /><br />Amanda xxAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14697932926715802541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422409496148630282.post-74517588536361539522011-09-02T21:35:19.350+02:002011-09-02T21:35:19.350+02:00Vastly different from when I had my daughters in t...Vastly different from when I had my daughters in the 1980's.
