All Natural Easter Egg Dyes

We love Easter. The chocolate, the egg hunts, the chocolate.
But one thing that has always bugged us has been the nasty petrochemicals in most egg dying kits. It is fun to dye the eggs, but we were never comfortable with the artificial dyes.

Now, our good friends at Eco Kid Toys, have turned us on to these awesome all natural egg dying kits from Glob paints, available at Kate’s Caring Gifts.

Wide Mouth Insulated Klean Kanteen
Posted on | December 29, 2009 | No Comments
For a lot of different reasons, we don’t like plastic water bottles. They leach chemicals into your water, they create landfill and litter, far too many of them end up in the ocean. And, it takes resources to make them,
Our preference has always been the Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Water Bottles. Klean Kanteen bottles are safe and long lasting, made from food quality stainless steel. But – they aren’t good for coffee.
Not until now. Klean Kanteen now offers INSULATED Kanteens. Perfect for coffee, tea, soup, or any other hot liquid. The wide mouth is great for easy cleaning. They are available in 12, 16, or 20 oz sizes, with an optional cafe cap. Available from Kate’s Caring Gifts.
At last

We think that there is no better gift than organic chocolate. Whether it comes in bars, bites, or luscious organic chocolate assortments, organic chocolate is free of the pesticide residue you will find in conventional chocolate or most cheaper chocolate.
For added benefits, try organic vegan chocolate. Chocolate made with respect for the planet
