CLOSED...Bye Bye Bugs Review + EcoMom $15 Gift Certificate Giveaway

Marlie spends a lot of time outdoors at her Montessori school and on trips with us to the park. It seemed she always came home with insect bites. I was afraid to use anything with DEET, but I was also afraid not use something for fear of diseases like West Nile virus.EcoMom is an invaluable go-to source for safe, effective and eco-friendly baby products. So I was delighted when I received a bottle of Bye Bye Bugs for review. It is made with essentials oils that naturally repel bugs. It was a cinch to apply thanks to it's spray pump design. Marlie put this product to the ultimate test last week...working in the school garden and visits to the Arboretum and State Fair on Saturday (lots of insects in the grass and flying around). She did not get a single bug bite after I used Bye Bye Bugs. I am going to have to borrow it next time because I get eaten alive!

There is stuff for mommies and daddies too at EcoMom. I saw several items that I would put on my wish list (like a certain scrumptious sustainably-produced cashmere sweater). It gives me peace of mind knowing that anything I buy at EcoMom meets a rigorous test for health and environmental safety. Not only does EcoMom carry green products for the entire family, but the company is also a crusader for eco-conscious living. The website is a wealth of information on everything from to how to make healthy snacks for your kids to Green Halloween tips. In fact, there is an EcoMom community where parents can connect, seek advice, share resources and support each other in raising happy and healthy children.
