5 Easy Ways to Go Green For Earth Day

Glass Straws: Are you Ready to Make the Switch?

Back in January my family made the switch from disposable straws to glass straws.  We drink a lot of smoothies around here and we were using plastic throwaway straws every time...adding up to a lot of waste.

I did the math and this is what I came up with... I was spending $1.99 on a bag of 100 straws. We used 3 straws a day, so that bag was lasting us approximately 1 month...so at this rate we were spending around $25.00 on straws a year. And it was leaving 12 plastic bags and about 1,100 straws in the landfill each year. Wow...it really adds up and we sure were doing our part to feed the problem. The glass straws that we wanted to switch to were $12 each, so $36 total. It will take us approximately 1.5 years to make our money back on not purchasing plastic straws and 0 waste left in the landfill!  This info was enough to make us switch for good.

We brought these glass straws into our shop and learned quickly that many other people were interested in making the switch.  These straws have quickly become our best selling item as they are flying off the shelves.  It really excites me to see other people committed to making this eco friendly change.

We now have a variety of straws in the shop from straight to bent to funky to colorful all in 3 different sizes.  These straws are durable and will last you a very long time.

I have had a lot of people ask about giving them to their kids and if they will break.  My girls (4 and 6) have been using them for months without any issues.  We have banged them against the sink and even dropped one on the floor without breakage.  However, they are not indestructible.  I had a straw sitting on the counter on a non flat surface...the straw rolled about a foot on the counter then hit the tile floor and broke.  So, if you have a child that likes to throw things, maybe your child isn't ready for a glass straw...but I would say that these straws would be perfect for a child 3 yrs or older.

So, if you are thinking of making an eco friendly change, these make for an easy and affordable change.  These also make wonderful unique gifts and Mother Earth will thank you for making the switch!

Feature Friday: Organic Cotton Hankies

If you are like the majority of Americans, when your nose is running you reach for a tissue.  You might also grab for a disposable tissue to wipe away tears or dirty faces then throwing away the tissue without even a thought.  Well, let's stop to think about this for a minute.  Where does this tissue come from, how is it made, and where does it go after you are done with it? 

Let's start with how a tissue is made.  Simply put, it is made from trees.  Just like any paper product, trees are cut down then made into anything from computer paper to toilet paper.  Not only does it take trees to make tissues, but it also takes machinery.  So, although it may seem like a natural product because it is made with natural materials, it does require a lot of trees to be cut down and a lot of energy to make the finished product.  And the tissues they make these days seem to always have some kind of scent or lotion added which takes more energy and more ingredients.  Then they are packaged into boxes which also takes energy and resources, then shipped to their destination. 

Now, where does a tissue go after it has been used?  Ever try to save a tissue after you have blown your nose with it?  No, because that is gross.  Ever try to wash a tissue after using it?  No, because it would destroy it.  So, they get thrown in the trash and will spend the next several years hanging out at the landfill.  You  may think that the few tissues you use a year doesn't add up, but it does!  And think about all the tissues that everyone uses and how this adds up!  I couldn't find any data on how many tissues are used each year, but I am guessing it's in the billions!

So, what can we do to stop this cycle.  What can we do to lessen our personal use of the tissue?  Even if you aren't willing to give up the tissue completely, I've got a great solution for you to at least lessen your impact on our Earth. 

Handkerchiefs!  Remember these?  My Grandfather used hankies and I am sure most of yours did also.  Disposable tissues have been around since around the 1920s, so in the grand scheme of things, not very long.  And just like most of the items in our Reusable Section, hankies are making a come back. 

In our shop we carry organic cotton hankies and my family has personally been using these for the past 4 years.  My oldest daughter and I even embroidered a few of these last year to personalize them.

These hankies are so soft on noses and they will save you money in the long run!  Think about all the tissues you will avoid purchasing (and disposing of) by using these pretty little things...saving you time, money, and our Earth!   We offer our hankies in 4 different colors and can be purchased as singles or in a Pocket Pack with 3 hankies. 

If you plan to make an eco friendly change this year, this is a great one to make!

Inspired by Kids: Bake Sale for Japan

Last week, after talking to my kids about the recent tragedy in Japan, they decided they wanted to help.  I was a little reluctant and had the attitude that I would just donate money and that would be it.  But, they were determined.  No matter how many times I told them, I would donate money and we could help as a family, they put their foots down and said, No, we are going to raise money ourselves. 

They got together with their friends and decided on a bake sale for the following Sunday.  Saturday morning, they got together and made several signs to hang around our neighborhood.  Then they baked for hours creating cakes, breads, cookies, muffins, and chocolate covered pretzels (I even got in on the action and made some gluten free muffins and cookies).  The day of the bake sale they woke up early and very were excited.  The girls got together and baked more goodies, hung more signs, and waited patiently for bake sale time.

They spent 2 hours selling their goods and spreading the word that they wanted to help their fellow humans as well as Mother Earth.  In the end they raised $65.00 and learned a very important lesson. 

As a family we gathered around the computer this evening and looked at age appropriate images of what happened and is still happening to our brothers and sisters in Asia.  During this whole experience the kids have been very thoughtful and even shed a few tears for the tragedy that is going on.

We decided to continue with our fund raiser and hope to send a nice sized check to the American Red Cross on Friday March 26th.  Hip Mountain Mama will send a percentage of all sales this week to the Red Cross and as a family we will also donate some money.  We know that our portion will be a small amount towards the incredible damage that has occurred, but every little bit counts and if we all do our part, we can make a difference!

If you are interested in donating money to this cause, here is a blog post I wrote last weekend with links to 8 different organizations that are taking donations to help!

Sisterhood Review: Soap Nuts

With my three crazy Spawn, I think we all knew that a post about nuts was coming. It was inevitable. There was just no stopping it.

I mean, they get their clothes so dirty! So when I saw the new Soap Nuts from Hip Mountain Mama, I knew I had to try them! (Why, what nuts did you think I was talking about???)

I have made my own detergent before. It's cheap and easy (and made me feel like a virtuous hippie), but it does take some effort. Even though it's minimal, that may be energy I am not willing to spend on laundry. Enter Soap Nuts: these funky looking little dried fruits mainly from the Himalayas.

Ok, these babies are not winning any beauty contests.  

They couldn't be more easy to use- you simply toss them in the washer in the included cotton bag, and wash your clothes! The saponin in the outer shells of the fruit naturally and gently cleans your clothes. They've been used for centuries but are just now becoming popular in the US, and I can see why. Biodegradable, organic, compostable- they're really an amazing detergent alternative.

I used my Soap Nuts in a cold wash even though a warm is recommended when using the nuts straight (wow, does that sound weird). My laundry came out smelling exactly how I like it- like nothing! I did purchase the Lavender Essential Oil to test though, and it gave the laundry a fresh, light scent. And while your laundry smells fresh, the nuts themselves smell kinda funky (you know I am enjoying writing this post!). The few drops of oil on the bag covered that up.  If you are looking for an alternative to traditional detergent that you can feel good about trying, then check out these nuts! You can get a sampler bag for only $2.49 to try out, and I have used that to wash 3 loads now- all with spectacular results.

Feature Friday: Eco Friendly Eating On The Go

We seem to always find ourselves out on a hike, a camping trip, or a day at the river and everyone wants a snack. So needless to say we have fallen in love with our SnackTaxi Reusable Sandwich and Snack Bags. They are so cute, convenient, and are something we couldn't live without.

They make bringing food on the go so much easier and they help to reduce waste of plastic baggies. There is no reason to throw away a plastic zip-lock bag after every snack. The SnackTaxis are easy to use and easy to clean.

We take them almost everywhere. They are great for picnics, hikes, camping, trips to the park, school or work lunches.

My daughters love having their very own   Organic Cotton Lunch Bag that they decorated themselves.   The organic cotton reusable lunch bags that we carry at Hip Mountain Mama are the perfect size for school lunch or for an adult to take to work. We let our kids personalize their bags with fabric paint. It is a fun family project and in the end everyone has their own reusable bag. (Here is a post I did on using these lunch bags as party favors at a child's birthday party) 

Enjoy :)

Festival Time With Kids: 10 Tips

Andy and I are big time festival goers each summer...before kids and after kids.  Before we had children we enjoyed the freedom of hitting the road, exploring new places, meeting kind folk, and seeing live music.  There is nothing like leaving responsibilities behind to enter the festival world....where livin is easy, people are happy, the energy is contagious, and good vibes surround you.  If you have never been to a music festival, I can tell you it's like nothing else..I often think if real life were like this, maybe there wouldn't be so much hate in the world.  Festivals are much like going to a concert, but your connections with other people, mother earth, and all of your surroundings is so much stronger. 

Now that we have children we still attend festivals and enjoy all that comes along with it, we just do things a little different.  We may only go for 1 day instead of 2, or go to festivals closer to home, or leave early even though we really want to see a certain band.  We are very aware of our children's happiness and needs and make sure to show up prepared for anything.  Instead of a small bag filled with sweat shirts and water we now walk in with multiple bags filled with clothing, food, water, blankets, toys, child carriers, sunscreen etc.  Just because you have children, doesn't mean you need to miss out on your favorite festivals.  Sure, there are times when you will want to leave the kiddos at Grandma's, but seeking out family friendly festivals and going prepared can make for a super fun time that your kids are going to look forward to each year.

I set up a Kid Festival Gear Section in our shop filled with products that we always take with us and have created a check list below for folks who plan to attend festivals with children this summer.  We have been taking our kids to festivals since they were babies and although it is a different experience, we still love it!  *Be sure to check out our list of family friendly festivals! 

1.  Clothing & Sunscreen:  Always bring extra clothes for the kiddos and dress them in layers.  The day may start out sunny, but there is always a chance for rain or cold weather and a cold child is not a happy child.  If you start them out with flip flops, make sure to bring socks and shoes as a back up.  I always bring a few pairs of kid leg warmers as they can be worn on legs and arms.  Think about all scenarios..it is unlikely, but if your child spills a drink on themselves, you will want an extra t shirt...eliminate all reasons for your child to be unhappy and wanting to leave.  Even if you don't usually wear sunscreen, a day at a festival is a time you are going to want to wear it.  Spending all day in the sunshine can leave you and your children with a pretty bad burn, so find a natural sunscreen and slather up!  Hats are also a great idea!

2.  Shelter:  We have never done this, but I have seen many families who will set up a little tent or shelter for their children to go to. This provides shade and a safe place for them to go to.  If your child needs to nap during a festival then this is a great option.  We always bring a blanket so we can have a designated place to call our own.  This helps our children feel safe and comfortable.

3.  Show Up Early:  Again, this is not something we do very often, but if you want to set up a shelter and get a good spot, then showing up early can make all the difference.

4.  Food/Drink:  Make sure to bring tons of snacks that your kids enjoy.  I usually sneak in a few suckers or some other treat to give them at some point in the day.  If your kids are like mine, they will be telling you they are hungry all day long and you will want to be prepared.  There will be vendors selling food, but it can be pricey if you purchase all your food from vendors.  We plan to eat one meal purchased from a vendor during the day, allowing the kids to choose, then eat from our snack stash the rest of the day.  Make sure your kids drink enough water!  My daughter got dehydrated a few years back after a festival and we have not made this mistake again.  Pay attention to what your children are drinking and if you don't think they are getting enough fluids, make them drink water.  We bring in several water bottles from home and if they run out there is usually a drinking water station where we can refill them.

5.  Ear Plugs:  If your children are really young, sensitive to loud sounds, you plan to take them close up to the stage, or just want to take extra precaution, use ear plugs. 

6.  Child Carriers:  These are a must!  We have used our Ergo and Moby Wrap carriers at every festival we have been to since we have had our kids.  I even carried my 6 year old in a carrier last summer.  Trust me, these are a life saver at festivals, especially if you have a child under 2 years.  I recall one summer at Rocky Grass, Sienna spent 90% of her time in the Ergo on Andy's back.  She had her naps there, danced along with Andy, and took in all the sights, all while safe and snug on daddy's back. 

7.  Camping:  If you are camping at festivals, make sure to bring along a few special comfort items for your kiddos.  Some kids are fine anywhere and everywhere, and others not so much.  You know your child and know if they are going to be OK with being away from home in a somewhat crazy environment for a few days.  Some kids may need some down time during the day or in the evening.  Bring their favorite books, toys, blanket, journal, or comfort foods.  Take cues from your kids on when they may need to leave the festival and head to camp for an hour break.   In some cases it might be wise to camp off site.  Often times camping on site at festivals can be loud until the wee early morning hours.  At certain festivals with kids it is smart to find a campsite close to the festival, but away from the chaos. 

8.  Be Responsible:  Getting crazy and wild is something that a lot of folks do at festivals.  While most of the scene is very happy and peaceful, there are folks who will get out of hand.  It is your job to take care of your kiddos safety and to realize when you may need to remove your family from a situation.  Take care of your child's needs first.  There have been several times when we have had to leave a festival hours before we wanted to because our kids had just had enough.  Yes, we missed out on a few things, but it is more important to make sure our kids are taken care of and happy...if you push them, they may get a bad feeling about going to festivals and not want to go back.   

9. Potty Time:   If your child is still in diapers make sure to bring plenty of extras.   Bring some sort of blanket or changing pad, wipes, and a bag for dirty diapers.  If your child is potty training, bring extra clothes, and take them to the potty when you feel it is necessary...or put them in diapers for the day and hope it doesn't ruin all your work :)  If your child is potty trained, then, yes, you will have to use the porta pottys.  I have 2 girls, so I take them and as unpleasant as it is, it is just a part of the experience.  These days most festivals have little hand washing stations outside of the potty's with soap and water or hand sanitizer.  If you are not sure if this will be provided, throw in a little bottle of hand sanitizer. 

10.  Have Fun:  Yes, there are many things you will need to think about when bringing a child to a festival.  But, don't stress!  If you set out to have fun, go prepared, and don't push your kids to do more than they want to, everyone will have a blast.  Have special things that the kids get to do only at festivals.  Maybe they get to eat a certain festival food, or get to wear a certain costume, or get a new toy or get to jump in the bouncy houses (many family friendly festivals will have a few fun things just for kids).  Make it something they will look forward to and want to go to.  Invite friends that have kids the same ages.  If my kids have friends with them, they will enjoy the experience so much more.  And don't forget to document the event with photos! 

Happy Festival Season!

Festival Time With Kids: 10 Tips

8 Ways To Help Japan

When disasters occur the magnitude of the one going on right now in Japan, I have a very bad habit of waiting a few days before processing it.  I remember on 9/11 I was at home getting ready for a hike when I heard the news.   I went on my hike anyway with many thoughts going through my head, hoping it wasn't as bad as it seemed....after all I only caught a few minutes of footage so didn't really have an idea of what was going on.  While I was enjoying a peaceful hike thinking about last minute wedding plans for our wedding in 11 days , thousands of people were scared for their lives, or dying, or worried about loved ones.  It all seems very selfish in hind site and it did take a couple of days after this to watch the footage before it actually became real for me. 

With the tragedy going on right now, it also took me a few days before actually diving into it and processing it all.  We don't have TV so turning on the news is not an option at our home.  I saw posts through social media and have been thinking of this disaster ever since it happened, but it wasn't until this morning that I felt ready to watch the footage on the Internet.  After watching the footage, there is no turning back...the world must come together in any way we can to help these people who have lost their homes, loved ones, their sense of safety and hope.  We need to give them hope, love, prayers, money, and whatever we can think of!

I wrote a post last week all about not waiting for a natural disaster to occur before you start realizing what is important in your life.  Now that one has occurred people all over the globe have a new perspective on life.  Hold your babies tighter, love your friends a little stronger, treat mother earth with all the respect in the world, help a neighbor, and live your life as your true self.  Leave all the pettiness behind, agree to disagree, and treat every living being with love and kindness.

Feature Friday: Matching Mother Daughter Tops

We have been graced with Spring weather here in Colorado and we are just loving it!  Of course, we will still get some snow before Winter is over, but it is fun to throw on a tank top and flip flops in early March.  If you aren't familiar with Colorado weather, I am telling you, it is so awesome!  You really never know what you are going to get and it is always changing, but one thing we can always count on is we will have sunshine almost every day of the year (approx 300 days per year). 

So with the sun shining at a lovely 64 degrees, the laundry hanging in the back yard, the windows opened, it seemed the perfect day for Sienna and I to put on our matching Sunshine Tanks! 

The matching tanks we have are both fair trade and hand made with a lot of care and love.  The Mama tank works great with skirts, jeans, leggings, and even with a long sleeve top underneath during the Winter months. It features beautiful hand embroidery, lace straps, and 2 pockets.  Our Child Tank/Dress can be worn as a top or dress and will appeal to a child's fun loving nature. It also has hand embroidery, 2 pockets, and pretty lace straps. 

My girls and I don't have many matching outfits, so it is really fun when we get to dress a like and they get such a kick out of it. 

We carry our Mama Tanks is S, M, & L and we have the Kid Tank in size 2T and 4T.  The nice thing about the kid tanks is that they will grow with  your daughter.  They have the same elastic across the back that the Mama tank has that will stretch as she grows.  And the length works great as a dress, then as they get taller can be worn with jeans as a longer tank top. 

Purchase both our Kid Sunshine Dress and  our Mama Sunshine Tank  for only $42.98 and we will throw in a Hip Mountain Mama Sticker and Hip Mountain Mama Water Bottle!
P.S. The pants I am wearing in these photos are our 3 Tier Groove Pants.  We have a few pairs left and they are ultra comfy!

If you follow our Facebook Page or Twitter I am sure you have noticed that I post a few quotes a week on there.  When I find a quote that resonates with me I like to share it...after all, what is a good quote if you don't share it.  I come across hundreds of quotes on any given month and when I see one that really pops out or makes me feel a certain way, I grab it, I write it down, I put it on my inspiration board, and I share it on line.  I have thought about making a little book of my favorite quotes to give as gifts, and may do this one day, but for now I just love having avenues such as facebook, twitter, and blogs to inspire each other. 

I wanted to share a few of my favorite quotes with you here and hopefully you will share your favorite quotes with me in the comments.  Let's inspire each other!
