Please feel free to make comments on anything I post to the blog.  As much as I am hoping to share with you the things I have learned, I know so many of you have incredible insights and knowledge to share.  Together we can educate each other!

Some topics I will be covering include:

  • How the new generation of cloth diapers is so much different from what your grandma used
  • “Green” cleaning products
  • Safe plastic baby products
  • Sustainable and socially responsible choices for children’s clothing
  • Organic cotton vs regular cotton
  • Alternative sustainable materials such as bamboo, hemp, and corn

If you have ideas for topics you’d like to see discussed, please feel free to e-mail me at jheni@littlejumpingbeans.com.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy my blog!

Sincerely,

Jheni, an eco-friendly momma
