Healthy Child Healthy World Mom on a Mission Awards in NYC

November 29, 2012 By Sarah 1 Comment

I’m still recovering from a gorgeous, glittering night in NYC! I was thrilled and honored to be invited to be a Blogger Ambassador and live-tweet from the 2012 Moms on a Mission Awards and Fundraiser held by one of my favorite non-profits, Healthy Child Healthy World. 

The event honored moms who are effecting real change to rid our environment of toxins and toxic chemicals. The Honorees were Victoria Di Iorio, who is spearheading safe construction materials, and Abby Epstein and Ricki Lake, who produced the ground-breaking documentaries, The Business of Being Born and More Business of Being Born. 

Gigi Chang, CEO of Healthy Child, introducing the event.

Abby Epstein, one of the honorees.

Hearing from Ricki Lake.

The Crowd at the Dream Downtown, with 2012 Mom on a Mission Winner Victoria Di Iorio.

Our MC for the night, Kelly Rutheford.

It was truly inspirational to be in a room filled with women and men to whom Healthy Child’s mission is so vital. I met some really lovely women.

Me and Dagmar Bleasdale, who blogs at Dagmar’s Momsense.

Also — BEST. SWAG. EV-AH.

The Sponsors, Plum Organics, Nordic Naturals, Ology, and more really showed up. :)

Healthy Child, Healthy World Party Week! Get Earth Friendly Freebies and Be Entered to Win Eco-Friendly Prizes!

May 8, 2012 By Sarah 3 Comments

Healthy Child, Healthy World is a wonderful organization that strives to help parents reduce the chemical load that children are exposed to on a daily basis.  Their website is an amazing resource for information on all kinds of healthier living, in addition to showing you how to form a grass-roots movement to change national policy on outdated chemical regulations.  I can’t say enough glowing things about the organization and its efforts to make the world a cleaner, healthier place for our children.

The mission of Healthy Child, Healthy World has become even more important to me in the past year, as my 2 year old daughter has had struggles with asthma and we have put in a full-scale effort to clean up our home environment.

We’ve installed 2 HEPA-certified air purifiers, vacuum 6 times a week with a HEPA-certified vacuum, and been slowing ridding our home of bath, body, and cleaning products with chemical fragrances and additives.

But sometimes it’s hard to know what products are best to use, and that’s why I love HCHW so much — they’ve already vetted every product they recommend as being as healthful as it can be.

I was thrilled to receive my Healthy Child Healthy World Party Kit recently. I was shocked when I opened the box and saw all the goodies:

HCHW provided samples and full-size items from brands like Bona Wood Floor Cleaner, Topricin Jr, BabyGanics, Dolphin Organics, and Clif. I think my guests liked the items too:

Everyone got to bring home a gift bag with these samples and coupons:

May 5 – 12 is Healthy Party week, and I encourage everyone to sign up to host your own Healthy Party!  For a tax-deductable donation of $25, in two weeks you’ll receive a kit just like I received, that contains educational materials, party planning tools, as well as $300 worth of natural product samples.

When you pledge to host a party, you’ll be entered to win new prizes every month. Plus, every month HCHW gives away 10 free kits through the Healthy Child Party Kit Scholarship Program.

Slow Cooker Chicken CHili

Everyone ready for the big game? No matter who you’re rooting for, whip up a big batch of my family’s favorite chili and everyone will be a fan!

Slow Cooker Chicken Chili
(serves 4) 

1/2-1 lb shredded, cooked chicken
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, diced finely
1 bell pepper, diced finely
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2  14 oz cans diced tomatoes (or 6 fresh tomatoes, diced) OR 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
4 oz tomato paste
1 can corn
2 cans pinto beans or kidney beans, or a combination of whatever beans you happen to have
1 small can chopped green chilis (optional)
1 recipe Homemade Taco Seasoning
1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
1/4 cup corn flour (or Masa — Bob’s Red Mill is one brand)

1. Add all ingredients except the corn flour and chicken to a large slow cooker. Cook on low for 6 hours

2. Add the chicken , then slowly add in the corn flour. Mix gently. Cook 1 more hour on low.
