Chemical Free Baby
Chemicals are everywhere, they're completely unavoidable in today's society. It seems you can't even turn on the television these days without hearing a warning about something else that causes cancer. Because of this, Ive made it one of my goals as a mom to use as many chemical free products as I can.
This however has proved to be a bit of a challenge. Even the products that are labeled organic all natural can contain some questionable ingredients, and a lot of the time the products that I try out just don't cut it. It can be very hard to find that balance between good and good for you. I have however found a few great products on the market.

Bummas Cloth Baby Wipes
Bummas are re-usable, Eco-friendly, highly absorbent cloths designed to keep sensitive baby bottoms dry, fresh and chemical-free. The handy 5x7 terry cloths are super soft and durable. They will last throughout your child's diaper stage and come in handy even afterward. I love everything about Bummas! They are washable, multipurpose, and prevent diaper rash which makes things a lot easier. The reason I said I wish I would have had them from the beginning is because we had a lot of diapering accidents all parents experience with a newborn boy. If you change diapers I highly recommend Bummas to keep those bottoms dry!
Ringley Teethers
RiNGLEY is a Canadian made natural teether that combines two efficient teething tools: untreated Canadian Maple and 100% organic cotton terrycloth. These materials provide two very different textures that enable children to satisfy their teething needs.
RiNGLEY's design allows your child to easily grip the ring and cloth. RiNGLEY can be used wet or dry and easily reaches around a child's gums and teeth.
RiNGLEY was designed with a child's development in mind. Since infants learn through tactile stimulus, touching and putting things in their mouths, the need for a product made without harmful chemicals and dyes is important. RiNGLEY is an organic and natural toy for babies to chew and teethe on.

Baked Ham with Honey Mustard Glaze
This ham recipe is perfect for Sunday dinner, its reasonably simple and super yummy.
- 1 large ready-to-cook smoked ham, about 12 to 16 pounds
- Glaze:
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup or Lyle's Golden Syrup
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon prepared Dijon or gourmet mustard, your favorite
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
Preparation:
Heat oven to 325°. Line a roasting pan with foil. Wrap the ham in foil, keeping the ham fat side up; place it in the baking pan.Bake for 18 to 20 minutes per pound, or until a meat thermometer or temperature probe registers about 145°.
Meanwhile make the glaze. In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, mustard, and vinegar. Stir over medium-low heat until smooth. Add water and bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring, for 1 minute.
Remove the foil from the ham and remove excess fat. Score the ham all over the surface, creating a diamond pattern. Return to the oven and continue baking to about 155 to 160°, basting with the glaze mixture frequently.
