Kids Resources

Free Resources to Keep Kids Sane At Home

I don't know about your household but its been two weeks of hair pulling, toy grabbing, shouting and tantrums over here. These resources sent over from friends and family have been a lifesaver and have successfully kept my kids busy for at least 2 hours each day. That doesn't sound like much but I'm telling you, it feels like gold at the moment.

Predictably so, my daughter's favourite is story time with princesses hosted by Forever Fairest. She's also been attending math classes with Luna Lab, listening to Alice in Wonderland through Amazon and learning about bunnies and lions through Scholastic classroom.

I've compiled my resource list below that hopefully you may find beneficial for your little ones (and you!) too. I hope to keep adding to the list as I collect more.

Stay safe and sane!

Synthetic Materials and Your Pets

par Jennifer Liong mars 29, 2024 6 lire la lecture

Health & Wellness How To Shop Pet Friendly Tips

When it comes to our pets, we have a strong sense of responsibility to keep them safe, happy, and healthy, just like we do for children. However, corporations, even our government, do not see our pets the same way that we do.

Our pets are exposed to way more synthetic materials and chemicals than we are. The regulations for pet products are not as strict or enforced as much as they are for humans. It can even be difficult to trust the products that you are buying for your pets.

Are Humidifiers Only Adding Moisture To Your Homes Air?

par Jennifer Liong mars 18, 2024 6 lire la lecture

Expert Bio Health & Wellness Tips

Author: Jaclyn Howden. Humidifiers are a product that consumers have been told to buy if you have a variety of symptoms or irritations that the dry winter air causes. Unfortunately, what we aren’t told as consumers, are the potential dangers of what could happen if there was improper usage of these products. The possibilities include getting sick, or worse; you or your loved ones could develop lung diseases!

How Toxic Are Synthetic Rugs To Us And The Environment?

par Jennifer Liong février 27, 2024 7 lire la lecture

Earth Month Health & Wellness

This blog is only a fraction of the research and potential threats that microplastics present to our health. There are around 13,000 chemicals that are used when producing plastic. 3,200 are known to be a chemical of potential concern, and 6,000 of those chemicals are unknown if they are a hazard to our health.

Great functional kids chair

Love that this chair is tested for chemicals and it's not toxic for kids, which is important to my family. Also love that the fabric unzips for easy cleaning, love that it can fold down into a little day bed. I would highly recommend this if you want something minimal design and easy to clean!

Lovely addition to our son’s room!

After looking through dozens of options, online for a rug in our sons room, we came across Rugs by Roo. We are so happy we found this company! They have lots of different options and patterns, and we also like the fact that the rug we chose was cotton and washable. It arrived quickly after ordering and is incredibly soft; perfect for an infant to lie and crawl on. We are really happy with the purchase and would highly recommend this company!

Love, love, love!

Can’t express enough delight as we received the rings for baby’s nursery. The quality and customer service are both unmatched! Super soft and shaggy while nontoxic for baby - it’s all in the details and these rugs are perfect! And the fact the rugs can be machine washed is everything. Nursery is coming together!

very good quality rug!

This rug came as I expected it to look and feel! Great quality! I love that it is organic and sustainably made. That is more than just a bonus. I set out to purchase something that would give back to the earth and the makers of the rug, and I feel really good about my purchase!

Fabulous Customer Service!! Cute product!

The rug I originally received was a strange colour and very different to the photo. I started an online chat with Rugs by Roo and showed them the photo. They agreed it looked off, double-checked with the manufacturer, and confirmed it was not correct. They immediately sent a replacement rug—what was even more impressive was I didn’t have to follow up about anything! They took care of it all quickly and smoothly. The new rug was much better, and they said to donate the former rug to a local charity instead of sending it back. THAT is excellent customer service!! 10/10 would recommend. The rug itself is super cute, although a bit less saturated in colour than the photos shown above. Love the eco-friendly and social responsibility initiatives, too!

beautiful and soft rug for nursery

Our dear friend's selected this rug to have in their baby's nursery. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly it shipped and my friends have shared that it's absolutely beautiful and just very soft and cozy. The perfect rug for their tiny human's new room.
