The Ladenbod List

Welcome to Ladenbod!

If you’re anything like me, you’re a mom who wants nothing but the best for your family when it comes to natural and healthy lifestyle choices.

This list is a comprehensive collection of all of the resources that I’ve found over my years of motherhood and hundreds of hours of research and trial and error. I want you to have these resources ready and available to you from the very beginning, so that you can avoid the pitfalls that will waste your time and money as you approach pregnancy, motherhood, and beyond.

This resource list is the central focus of this website, and sharing this information is the reason that I created Ladenbod. As this site grows and develops, I will continue to post information that provides not only the where and the how – as this list does – but also the reasons why behind each of these recommendations. Until then, please feel free to refer back to this collection of resources for all of your natural and non-toxic questions and needs.

And if there is a specific item that you are looking for, but don’t see included in the list, let me know! I am more than happy to look into a specific item if there is something you are interested in!

I hope you find this helpful and I’m so glad you’re here!

The Ladenbod List

The Ladenbod List is made up of all of my favorite items that I have used in motherhood. While there are a few items on here that I have not used (noted beside them), they are items that I would have used had I known about them sooner. Some of the links below contain referral or affiliate links. Any of these are items that I have used and loved. If you use one of my codes, I may receive a small commission or discount for my own products at no additional cost to you.

Table of Contents

At-Home Gender Test

  • Sneak Peak at Home Gender Test: This is the only at-home 6-week gender test on the market. I used this test twice for my last two pregnancies. The results were accurate to our anatomy scan at 20 weeks and the process was smooth, fast, and simple.
    • (This is a referral link with $10 off your first order.)

Books, Documentaries & Podcasts

  • Real Food for Pregnancy by Lily Nichols: This is the best book on prenatal nutrition that I have come across. Many other nutritional guidelines for pregnancy are outdated and do not encourage women to consume enough protein. I cannot recommend this book enough. She also offers recommendations for prenatal supplements, as I note below.
  • The Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby & Child Care by Sally Fallon Morell: I recently purchased this book and all I can say is that I wish I had read it before my first pregnancy! If you are pregnant, have children of any age, or are on your trying-to-conceive journey, I cannot recommend this book enough.
  • Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth: This is a must read for first time moms! It is short, easy to read, and gives you a great idea of what to expect for a natural childbirth. It is partially responsible for why I opted for a midwife and birthing center as opposed to a hospital-based midwife.
  • The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding: One of the go-to books recommended on breastfeeding.  
  • Fit Baby, Smart Baby, Your Baby! From Birth to Age Six: I did not discover this book until just after our third child was born. I cannot recommend this book enough. I read it and started implementing the recommended practices and I can see a difference in our third’s development compared to our first two. This is definitely a must-read for parents to be!
  • Go Diaper Free: The book on how to practice Elimination Communication with your child from birth. Like I mention below, I started this method with my third child when he was 5 months old.
  • The Business of Being Born: This is a great resource if you are trying to decide what you want your birth experience to look like.
  • Nourished: This is a great mini documentary on nutrition in pregnancy.  
  • The Radical Health Radio: Fantastic podcast for all things health. They have several on female fertility and pregnancy. 
  • Wise Traditions Podcast: This podcast is a project of the Weston A. Price Foundation, a nonprofit founded in 1999 to share the research of Dr. Weston Price, who studied unindustrialized groups to determine the optimum diet for human health. The podcast covers all topics including, nutrition, medicine, lifestyle habits, and more.
  • Birth Naturally Podcast: Great podcast for natural birth stories and tips for a successful natural birth.
  • Happy Homebirth Podcast: Another great podcast for positive and uplifting birth stories. I prioritized listening to birth stories during my third pregnancy and it really helped prepare me for my first home birth.
  • Birth in God’s Presence: I love this podcast. These birth stories are filled with the Spirit and really help you think about birth from a Christian perspective.

Childbirth Education

  • https://www.builttobirth.com: This is one item on the list that I have not personally had experience with. But, if I could go back and have my first baby all over again, I would take this childbirth course. I wish I had known about this program then, and I wish I had done extra research on childbirth classes instead of just going with the one recommended by our midwife at the time.

Pregnancy Must-Haves for Mom

  • Pink Stork Morning Sickness Lozenges: If you are currently suffering from morning sickness, whether slight or extreme, these lozenges are a life saver! This was the only thing that helped with my morning sickness in my second and third pregnancies.
  • Compression Socks: Compression socks are great during pregnancy, especially as you reach the end. 

Pregnancy and Postpartum Workouts 

  • The Bloom Method: I’ve used Studio Bloom app for pregnancy workouts and postpartum core and pelvic floor rehab for my last two pregnancies. Their workouts vary in length and intensity and are presented as easy-to-follow videos. I can’t recommend this one enough, as I found their videos explaining how to reconnect to your core and pelvic floor incredibly helpful.
  • Sweat App: I’ve used this app going on 8 years. They have a wide variety of workout programs for all stages of life. They recently added an additional pregnancy and postpartum program with an all-new trainer. They have a total of 4 pregnancy and 4 postpartum programs.
    • You can sign up for a 7-day free trial for either of these with the referral links above.
  • Lauren Gleisberg: For a non app-based workout program, this is an excellent option. Her core programs for every stage of life are also fantastic!

Supplements 

I am not a doctor, please consult your healthcare provider prior to use, as nutrition and supplementation are extremely specific to each pregnancy.

  • Heart and Soil Prenatal Stack: If you click this link, go to their stacks and select the Prenatal Stack.
    • (Click the referral link above for 20% off your first purchase.)
    • For my honest review of my experience with Heart & Soil, read more here.
  • This Is Needed: Great option for a traditional prenatal line up and I love their collagen powder.
    • This Is Needed also offers hydration electrolyte packets.
  • FullWell Prenatal: Suggested by Lily Nichols in her Real Food for Pregnancy book, linked above.
  • Seeking Health: Suggested by Lily Nichols in her Real Food for Pregnancy book, linked above. 
  • Ath Lytes: Electrolyte packets are a great way to make sure you are properly hydrated both in pregnancy and postpartum – especially if you are breastfeeding.
    • Until recently, LMNT electrolyte packets were our top choice. But all of their flavors (except raw) contain “natural flavors,” something we have been trying to remove from our diets. Additionally, it has been revealed that LMNT contains Maltodextrin, despite not being included on the ingredients list.

The Heart & Soil Prenatal Stack is what I plan to take for any future pregnancies. For my first pregnancy, I used both Fullwell’s Prenatal and Seeking Health’s Prenatal at different points. For my second and third pregnancies, I took This Is Needed’s full prenatal line up. If you are someone who struggles with taking capsules, This is Needed and Seeking Health both offer a powdered prenatal supplement option.

Better-for-You Food Swaps

  • Sunrise Flour Mill Organic Heritage Wheat: Once you taste this flour and pasta, you’ll never go back. All of their products are single source, organic heritage flours produced using a milling technique from the 1930s. Their wheat and flours are free of all chemicals, including bleach and bromide, and are grown on their fourth-generation family farm.
    • (Click the link above for $10 off your first purchase.)
  • Kasandrinos Greek Olive Oil: Kasandrinos is the best tasting, single source, organic olive oil I have ever tried. They are a family-run business with fresh extra virgin olive oil delivered to your door. And when I say fresh, I mean fresh! They have deliveries from Greece regularly to ensure that you are getting the freshest product available.
    • I also heavily recommend their various balsamic vinegars, Greek salt, and spice blends! There’s really nothing here that you can go wrong with.
    • (Click the link above for $10 off your first purchase.)
  • Lineage Provisions Grass Fed and Finished Beef Tallow: Tallow is an excellent fat source and an excellent replacement for all of the seed oils in your pantry. Lineage Provisions has excellently sourced grass-fed and grass-finished tallow that tastes great and elevates every dish you make.
    • (Click the referral link above for 10% off your first purchase.)
  • Raw Milk: Raw milk is a nutritional powerhouse and excellent for all stages of motherhood. To find raw milk near you, check out GetRawMilk.com.
  • Force of Nature: Force of Nature provides regeneratively raised grass-fed and grass-finished beef and bison. I especially love feeding my family their Ancestral Blend Ground Beef. And despite it having heart and liver added to the ground beef, my kids love it! They have a whole range of different cuts and types of meat including venison, wild boar, beef, and bison. Their sausages are also delicious!
    • (Use the referral link above for $15 off your first order.)
  • Buck Creek Meats: Buck Creek Meats is an amazing family-run ranch out of Wichita Falls, TX. They offer 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef and lamb, free-range chicken and pastured pork. All are raised using free-range and non-confinement lifestyles, and their animals are all free of vaccines, antibiotics, hormones, and pesticides.
    • Use the code Ladenbod at checkout for 10% off your first subscription box!
  • Lineage Provisions AB Complete Protein Powder: This is my go-to protein powder when I am in a hurry. I love that it has 20 grams of grass-fed beef protein, beef organs, colostrum, fruit, maple, and coconut water for an all-around great protein shake that leaves me full and satisfied as I chase after my three toddlers. Even better, it now comes in two flavors, unflavored and chocolate and the chocolate is amazing!
    • (Click the referral link above for 10% off your first purchase.)
  • Heart & Soil Animal Based Protein Powder: What I love most about this protein powder is that it has just three ingredients, making it the cleanest protein powder on the market. It blends super easily with anything, and the packaging is all plastic-free, even the scoop!
  • Purity Coffee: Purity Coffee is regeneratively farmed organic, mold-free, pesticide-free, and mycotoxin-free coffee. You would not believe the amount of mold, pesticides, and other contaminants found in traditional coffee. We love their coffee! And we tend to purchase their dark roast, 1/3 caffeinated roast, or decaf.
    • (Use the referral code above for $10 off your first purchase.)
  • Seven Weeks Coffee: If you want to drink your coffee and support a good cause, then this is the coffee company for you. Seven Weeks Coffee is the only Pro-Life coffee brand and they are supporting pregnancy resource centers throughout the country just from your morning cup of Joe. 10% of each purchase you make is donated to a pregnancy center in need. And on top of that, they are also mold-free, pesticide-free, and organic.
    • (Use code LADENBOD at checkout for 10% off your first order!)
  • Mountain Valley Spring Water: Natural spring water in a glass bottle that tastes amazing and can be delivered to your door. It doesn’t get much better than that. Click the link above to find a distributor near you.
    • One thing to note: you should not use this water with formula or in your coffee machine. The minerals in Mountain Valley can damage your coffee maker and could interact poorly with your baby’s formula.
  • Masa Chips: If you love tortilla chips but hate seed oils, then these are the chips for you! Masa Chips are made from organic corn and fried using grass-fed tallow! The ingredients are the best on the market and the taste is excellent!
    • (Use this link for 20% off your first order.)
  • Vandy Chips: From the creators of Masa Chips, Vandy Chips are your go-to potato chips! These are the only potato chips on the market that are 100% free of pesticides and seed oils! And they are also fried in tallow. Be careful though, they are addictive!
    • (Use this link for 20% off your first order.)
  • Carnivore Snax: High quality, regeneratively raised, American-sourced meat snacks that are an easy grab-and-go protein option. Each pack is the equivalent of a pound of meat and they taste great!

Baby Gear 

  • Nuna Car Seats: No matter which style – infant or convertible, Nuna’s car seats are a fantastic choice. They are free of flame retardants and their fabrics are made with GOTS Certified Organic Cotton. They are quick and easy to install and they have an excellent safety rating.
    • Nuna offers multiple models from an infant carrier (the Pipa) to an all-in-one infant to booster seat (the Exec). We have used the Pipa, Rava, and Exec for our kids.
  • Mockingbird Stroller: We used this stroller with our first two who are 13 months apart. It is a great looking stroller and it is half the price of other top strollers on the market.
    • Mockingbird does offer an infant car seat connector that is compatible with the Nuna Pipa infant car seat and most standard carriers for an easy travel system set up.
  • New! UppaBaby Minu V2 Travel Stroller: We recently ordered our first travel stroller and we absolutely love the Minu! I spent a lot of time researching the best one for our family and our future travels and I love how much space this one has and yet folds down so easily!
    • As a mom of three with two toddlers that love to hop in and out of the stroller, we paired this stroller with the Lascal BuggyBoard Maxi plus and it has been amazing! This gives our toddlers the option to sit in the stroller, sit on the board, or stand on it if they get tired from walking after a long day. I cannot recommend this combo enough!
    • And if you would rather have just the riding board as opposed to the additional seat, check out the Lascal BuggyBoard Maxi.
  • Wonderfold Wagon: This has been an excellent stroller alternative for three kids three and under. We have the W4 Luxe Model which can fit four kids.
    • In June of 2023, they released an infant car seat adapter that allowed us to connect our car seat to the wagon and still have room for our two toddlers.
      • Wonderfold offers wagons that can hold 2-4 kids and we have found this to be an excellent option for taking our kids to the zoo and for walks around the neighborhood. The seats are removable and there are a variety of accessories that you can purchase to make it your own.
    • Quick note: While the link for the adapter says that it is not compatible with Pipa by Nuna, we have used this exact car seat with the adapter and have not had any issues, so your mileage may vary.
  • The Tripp Trapp High Chair by Stokke: I love this high chair. It is made from good quality wood with limited plastic. With its various accessories, it can bring baby to the table from birth through childhood. We have the high chair with the cushion and tray attachments and it has been a great option for all three of our kids.
    • When I was looking for a highchair, I was looking for one made of wood instead of plastic. Since we purchased this one with my first child, a number of other wooden highchairs have come on the market. So definitely do some additional research if you feel like this one does not suit your specific needs.
  • Nuna Travel Crib and Play Yard: Another great product from Nuna. This play yard and travel crib has two height adjustments, comes in a convenient carrying case, and folds up great. I have primarily used ours as a play yard and for the occasional nap. And once again, the materials are non-toxic and safe for baby.
  • WildbirdCo. Aerial Buckle Carrier: This is by far my favorite baby carrier. It is the perfect combination between my structured baby carrier (Ergo Baby 360) and my soft wrap baby carriers (Solly Baby). Unlike other options on the market, this one has a cross-body strap instead of traditional backpack straps, making it easy to put on and take off. It is made of a cotton and linen blend and it is free of harsh chemicals and flame retardants. It offers both a front carry (facing inwards) and a back carry and can hold babies from newborn weight up to 45 lbs.
    • WildbirdCo. also offers some beautiful linen ring carriers that are an excellent option as well and they are gorgeous.
  • No Reception Club Getaway Bag: We recently purchased this bag as a replacement for our everyday diaper bag and it is a game changer. It is great for travel and everyday use. The bag has adjustable shelves in the main compartment and different pockets to maximize organization on the go. And on top of that, the quality and attention to detail is amazing! I was blown away when I opened it up for the first time.
  • Baby Björn Baby Bouncer: I love this bouncer. We have used it for all three of our kids from newborn until they were about 7 or 8 months old. This is a great option as an easy-to-move-around spot to put baby down when you need.
    • I would opt for the 100% cotton option.
  • SnuggleMe Organic Infant Lounger: Another great option for a soft spot to lay baby down for play and bonding time. These use organic cotton and you can purchase additional covers that can easily be thrown into the washing machine when needed.
  • Infant Optics Baby Monitor: I love this monitor because it does not use WiFi. Monitors that use WiFi run the risk of being hacked, plus the lack of WiFi compatibility means less EMFs being emitted in baby’s sleeping environment.

Nursery and Baby Linens

  • Naturepedic Crib Mattress: I love all of Naturepedic’s products. Their products are all GOTs Certified Organic Cotton, Made Safe Certified, Greenguard Certified, and free of any flame retardants, vinyl/PVC, phthalates, or allergenic latex.
    • One note on the crib: We only just recently started using our crib with our third baby, but as an extension of our master bed. We co-sleep with our kids at night and use beds with a side bumper like this one for their naps during the day.
  • Naturepedic Mattress Protectors: Whether you co-sleep, or simply want extra protection on the crib mattress or any other bed in your house, these mattress protectors are amazing. They are 100% certified organic cotton, with no plastic components whatsoever. They work beautifully and have saved our mattresses more times than I can count, especially through potty training.
  • Organic Linen Crib Sheet by Life Giving Linen: Linen fabric is an excellent fabric for your baby’s sleeping space. I love this company, as it is a small business and their products are all organic linen and hand made to order. I purchased the crib sheet with the natural rubber elastic as an addition.

Feeding Time

  • Spectra SI Breast Pump: This is a highly-rated option that has a rechargeable battery.
    • Here is a link to see about getting it through insurance.
    • If you are a busy mom, I would look into a breast pump like the Willow 360, a wearable breast pump.
  • Philips Avent Glass Bottles: These glass baby bottles have lasted us through three bottle-fed kids. I love that they are glass as opposed to plastic.
    • One thing to note with these: we have had to replace the plastic ring that connects the nipple to the bottle. Overtime the plastic does wear down and it will not seal properly. I purchased these replacement rings, and they have worked splendidly.
    • Additionally, Philips updated the nipples on the current bottles from when we first purchased our set almost 4 years ago. I have found that the new redesigned nipples were much harder for our newborn to drink through, so I purchased a replacement set of the original nipple version, here.
  • Philips Bottle Warmer: I never used a bottle warmer with our first two children, but I bought one to use with our third child. It has been a game-changer, especially when using European formula, which tends to require warming to mix properly. 
  • Organic Cotton Burp Clothes: Trust me, you can never have too many burp clothes. I definitely recommend having several on hand because you never know exactly when you will need one.  
  • Formula: European made formulas are far better than American brands. Below are the three European formulas I have used with my kids. For more in-depth information on European formula and my favorite brands, check out my post Let’s Talk: Organic Baby Formula.
    • Jovie Goat Formula: My youngest son is on Jovie and it has worked tremendously well for him. This will be our go to formula for any future children as well.
      • Jovie recently released a cow’s milk based formula.
    • Kendamil Organic: We used this for my daughter and it is a great organic cow option. My daughter was on this one for about three months before we had to switch as she began to develop an allergy to it.
    • Hipp HA Combiotic: We used this formula when we thought my first two kids may have a mild allergy to cow’s milk. This is a hypoallergenic formula, making it easier for baby to digest.
      • Many babies in America are recommended Enfamil’s Nutramigen if they have a sensitivity to cow’s milk formulas. Hipp HA Combiotic is a great European alternative.
  • My Organic Company is the place where I have ordered all of my European formulas from. The customer service is great and their shipping times are fantastic. I have never had an issues ordering through them. They also have a lot of great resources on different formulas and deciding which will work best for your family.
  • Serenity Kids Food Pouches & Puffs: I stayed clear of food pouches with my first two kids because of the stories I had seen about mold. But Serenity Kids is different. They hold themselves to an incredibly high standard, higher than any other baby food brand on the market. I started my youngest son on Serenity’s various pouches, primarily focusing on the ones that contained beef and bison. At 6 months old, he did not have any teeth, but it was great knowing he was getting the amazing nutrients from beef and bison without any concern that he couldn’t chew.
    • If you are skeptical of food pouches for your little one, I encourage you to check out this episode of Radical Health Radio where Serenity Kids appeared as a guest to talk about baby food and how they are different.
    • Check out their puffs and pouches on Amazon or at SerenityKids.com.
  • Amara Smoothie Melts: This is another great brand providing organic smoothie melts and baby food pouches. My kids loved the smoothie melts as an easy and mostly mess-free snack on the go.
  • Elk & Friends Kids and Toddler Dishes Sets: Elk & Friends are by far my favorite plates, bowls, cups, and silverware that I have found for my kids. I love that they are all excellent quality, plastic-free, and they can go in the dishwasher.

Diaper Time

Potty Talk

  • BabyBjörn Potty Chair: This is my favorite floor potty for potty training. It has a high back for support and it is a deeper potty overall.
  • One Proud Toddler Seat: Once your kids are potty trained, this foldable seat topper is the best for taking your kids out and about. It folds down compactly, takes up the same amount of space as a package of wipes, and comes with a storage bag that can be washed when needed.
  • Built in Toddler Potty Training Seat: Do yourself a favor, and skip the potty chair toppers for your home toilets. Instead, replace your toilet seats with these and they will make your life so much easier.

Baby Proofing

  • The Stair Barrier: This is what I use to keep our kids from the stairs. Our upstairs did not have a wall that we could place a traditional baby gate on, so the fabric and buckle option of this gate has been a lifesaver – especially once the kids started crawling and walking.
  • Door Locks: We put these locks up high on all of our exterior doors and even on our master bedroom door. This gives us peace of mind that the kids can’t open the exterior doors unassisted, and it allows me to keep the kids in our room in the morning without running off.
  • Cabinet Locks: These cabinet locks come in a variety of colors and work great for basic knobs. I use these in our kitchen and bathrooms.
  • Baby Gate: This baby gate is by far our favorite of the ones we have purchased. It is easy to open with one hand, is taller than your standard gate, and is easy to install.

Toys for Newborns and On

  • The House of Noa Play and Tumbling Mats: This is one of the items I have not personally used, but I couldn’t not include them. If I had known about them when I was pregnant with my first, I definitely would have added one of these to our home. The playmate and tumbling mats are designed beautifully to fit in with your home decor and they are made of non-toxic materials.
  • WildbirdCo Tummy Time Mat: Beautiful tummy time mat made out of cotton and linen.
  • Banner Toys: Great option for wooden teethers and toys. You can even get them engraved with your baby’s name.
  • Lovevery: Curated subscription-based toy boxes sent to your door according to your baby’s age.
    • (Use the referral link above for $20 off your first purchase.)
  • The Lovevery Play Gym: This is a great option for tummy time and beyond. It is recommended for ages newborn to 1 year. It’s made with organic cotton and other non-toxic materials.
    • (Use the referral link above for $20 off your first purchase.)
  • The Nugget: I love this kids’ play couch. It comes in a variety of beautiful colors and it is so fun to see what kids can create. We actually have two of them in our home.
  • Lily and River: This website has great, all-natural wood play sets for babies 6 months and up. We bought their Little Dome, Little Climber, Little Rocker, balance beam, and the stepping stones.
  • Maisonette: This is a great website for a lot of wooden and good quality toys that are all Montessori inspired.
  • Little Partners Learning Tower: A learning tower is a must once your little one is able to walk. It is a great way to get them involved in your daily routines. This particular one does not fold, and is rather large. There are other models that fold and can be put away when not in use.
  • The Avenlur Indoor Climbing Wall: We recently purchased the Walnut 9-in-1 Swedish Ladder Wall Gym for our two oldest and it has been a big hit! The quality is fantastic and there are no toxic finishes on the wood.
  • Barefoot & Salty 3-in-1 Pro Trainer Balance Board: This is a new product for us and we absolutely love it! It is definitely for kids at least 2 and up with adult supervision. But what I love is that it is actually fun for the whole family!
    • Coming soon: A full review of the Barefoot & Salty 3-in-1 Pro Trainer Balance Board

Non-Toxic Bath, Body, Beauty & Skincare

  • Toups and Co: This company is great for non-toxic makeup, soaps, skin care and more. I especially love their different tallow balms. They also have a great gentle shampoo and body wash for babies. 
    • (The referral link above gives you $5 off your first purchase.)
  • Pretty Farm Girl Soap Bars: This is a great option for different goat tallow bar soaps in various scents. They have a lot of other great and natural products as well.
    • (The referral link above gives you $10 off your first purchase.)
  • Health y Sol Tallow Soap: This is a great option for both tallow bar soaps and liquid soap. I recently switched to their liquid soap and love it for washing our hands and other uses around the house.
  • Primally Pure: I love all their products, especially their natural deodorant. They also have a great baby soap bar and balm.
    • (This referral link above gives you $10 off your first purchase.)
  • Primal Life Organics Kids Toothpaste: Healthy and fluoride-free Toothpaste for kids. 
  • Primal Life Organics Adult Toothpaste: Healthy and fluoride-free toothpaste for adults.
  • David’s Natural Toothpaste: My husband and I love this toothpaste. The ingredients are clean and free of toxic chemicals and leaves our mouths feeling fresh.

Healthier Wardrobe Essentials for the Whole Family

  • Colored Me Organics: Organic cotton baby and toddler clothes.
    • Keep in mind, any pajamas that are organic and therefore not sprayed with flame-retarding chemicals tend to fit snugly.
  • Make Me Organics: Organic cotton baby and toddler clothes.
  • Little Planet: Organic cotton clothes by Carter’s for babies, toddlers, and kids.
  • Saguaro Shoes: Barefoot shoes for the whole family. Barefoot shoes are healthier for everyone, and especially for your mobile toddler.
  • Vivobarefoot Shoes: My husband and I both love our Vivobarefoot sneakers. We walk barefoot for our daily walks and love how these sneakers give our feet protection without sacrificing that barefoot feeling.
    • (This referral link above gives you 20% off your first purchase.)
  • Earth Runners: Barefoot earthing sandals that get you as close to the earth as possible. These sandals are great for walking, trail running, and everyday wear. Their straps are totally customizable and the soles of their sandals have a port that connects you to the earth, giving you the best of both worlds.
  • Q for Quinn: Great option for organic essentials for the whole family including, underwear, socks, and more.
  • NADS Organic Underwear: 100% organic boxers and boxer briefs for men. But women can wear them too!
  • Pact Organic Clothing: Great site for organic clothes for men and women. They have so many flattering dresses and I love how tasteful they are.
    • (This referral link above gives you 15% off your first purchase.)

Non-Toxic Household Items

  • Branch Basics: I love Branch Basics. I have been using it as my household cleaner and laundry detergent going on 5 years. It is one of the first non-toxic swaps I made when I found out I was pregnant with my first child.
    • (This referral link above gives you $10 off your first purchase.)
  • Blueland Dishwasher Tablets: These are plastic-free and non-toxic dishwasher tablets. I use them daily and find that they do a great job on our dishes.
  • Blueland Toilet Bowl Cleaner: I love these compared to traditional toilet bowl cleaners. They are simple to use: drop one in the toilet, let it dissolve, scrub, and you’re done! And all without the harsh chemicals or smells.
  • Xtreme Cookware: This is a great option for non-toxic, pure ceramic cookware.
  • Caraway Home: I love my sets from cooking sets from Caraway. I have their whole pot and pan collection along with their baking set.
  • Stargazer Cast Iron Skillet: I purchased this skillet bare – meaning it is not pre-seasoned – so that I could season my skillet with tallow instead of seed oils.
  • Moccamaster KBGV Select: I picked this coffee machine because it is one of the only home coffee machines on the market that does not have any plastic pieces exposed to the machine’s heating element.
  • Wyldr DUUN Tumblers: I recently purchased these tumblers for my husband and I for our morning coffee and they are great! Say goodbye to metal tasting coffee, these tumblers have a removable glass liner, so your coffee only comes into contact with glass. And you can even put the glass liner in the freezer for a cold drink whenever you want. The exterior keeps your coffee hot and it has a BPA-free, flow control lid. The only complaint I have about these is that I wish they sold a big size!
  • Charcoal Degreaser Soap from Haselmayer Goods: Say goodbye to your traditional and toxic dish soap! These charcoal bars smell great and work really well on grease and tough-to-get-off messes. These are made from lard, coconut oil, activated charcoal, and organic peppermint essential oil. It doesn’t get much cleaner than that!
  • Plant Paper: The non-toxic alternative to traditional toilet paper that you never knew you needed.
  • Coyuchi Organic Linen Sheets: We switched from cotton to organic linen sheets and we have never slept better. I cannot recommend organic linen or organic cotton sheets enough.
