A wonderful book that brings positive changes to my life

This is a great book and it does bring a lot of positive changes to my home. A simple example, I have switched all my cleaning product to simply vinegar + water + tea tree oil. The result is wonderful - my house is cleaner without chemical smell.
I have recommended this book to my friends.

Very informative

This book has so much great info., but beware, it can make you feel crummy about things you've been doing...

Loved it.

Great book-- has helped me a lot. I still refer to it for various "recipes" for cleaning supplies and such.

One of the better books on the subject

I have read many books about the chemicals and toxins in our environment and I have to say that this is one of the better books on the matter. The author covers the following subjects with one chapter each: pregnancy, cleaning supplies, food, body care, children's toys and gear, yards, water and air, pets, and home improvement. I found that the book didn't go into too much depth on any particular subject, but this is a good place to start for someone new to the subject. I also greatly enjoyed the excerpts from various parents and celebrities. Highly recommended!

Great for existing/expecting mothers

This is a very interesting and informative book! I recommend it to any excpecting mothers or those who already have young children in your house. I am neither, but hope to someday have children of my own. However, I was really interested in this book and have enjoyed it great book. Such an easy read!!
