With the holidays coming up, you are probably getting ready to do some traveling.

Whether you are just headed down the street for #thanksgiving day or traveling across the country to visit loved ones, chances are Baby is going with you. And, because these events are very rarely scheduled around #naptime, this might also mean prepping for an impromptu #nursery in the guest bedroom/office, which probably means you're packing a #travelcrib. To help you choose the best one for you and your little one, we found the best ones out there that are free from nasty chemicals (think flame retardants, vinyl, etc. ) that your baby really doesn't need in order to have a safe and peaceful nap. Check them out!

We even have a couple of recipes to test with your little one.

Last week, a ruling came through saying that the EPA must ban a pesticide that has been linked to development issues in young children.

It's a big step for protecting kids and the food we eat! Thank you @nrdc_org for sharing and helping make this happen.

REPOST: The EPA illegally delayed its ban on chlorpyrifos, so we sued and won!💪⚖ Today, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals sided with @NRDC, @Earthjustice, and our partners, and ruled that the EPA must finalize its ban on chlorpyrifos—a pesticide linked to learning disabilities in children—from use on produce sold in the U.S. within 60 days. 🥦🌶🥕🍓 Learn more about this case by visiting the link in our bio.
