What if there was an online resource where parents could be educated, inspired, and empowered to care for their family naturally? What if there was a resource that provided concise, easily digestible information on a wide range of topics from pre-conception all the way through the teen years? What if this resource was FREE? Curious yet?
I'm a presenter at the
Healthy Child Summit, where I'm talking about long-term breastfeeding. The summit is
free, so go check it out now in its sneak-peek mode with

If you need to complete your holiday shopping, find a birthday present for a friend, or just treat yourself to something special, the NPN Holiday Gift Guide has something for everyone. But what's even better, the NPN Holiday Gift Guide is a great opportunity to shop consciously and to support many naturally minded small businesses.
The companies that have provided items for review and giveaway are almost exclusively made up of work-at-home shops or companies that are dedicated to supporting eco-conscious choices. Below you will find information on 54 companies from 22 of our NPN volunteers. The companies are giving away over 58 products, subscriptions, and gift certificates, for a total combined value of over $2,500! As you scroll through the Gift Guide, we encourage you to click on the links for each of the reviews — look for the links to our volunteers' blogs in each heading and read their full review! Our volunteers have crafted thoughtful posts on each participating company with pictures of and links to products that are simply perfect for our natural parenting families. You can enter to win every giveaway by using the Rafflecopter system below or via the reviewers' site.
Even if you don't win one of our fabulous prize packages, please consider spending part of your gift-giving budget at one of these small businesses.

I have an incredible deal to share with you, and it ENDS TOMORROW!
But, first, a little about one of the sponsors and what she'll give you in addition to this deal.
First, Hybrid Rasta Mama's amazing eBook resource, Cooking With Coconut Oil, is offered as part of this incredible bundle. If you do not already own it, this is the perfect opportunity to add it to your cookbook collection as well as support a lovely bloggy friend of mine in the process.
Secondly, if you order through Hybrid Rasta Mama's link, she will be notified and you will receive a SUPER SPECIAL eBook. It will have some amazing recipes that will only be available to those of you who order through her link. No one else will ever have this eBook. Ever. These recipes are all NEW and have not appeared anywhere on her blog or in Cooking With Coconut Oil. All eBooks will be sent via a special download link on January 22, which is a few days after the sale ends.
Third, if you order through her link you will automatically be entered to win something pretty special! It involves coconut oil and essential oils. And it isn’t a book.
Last but not least, if you refer HER LINK to a friend or family member and they purchase the bundle through her link, tell them to let Hybrid Rasta Mama know in the comments. You will then be entered into yet another drawing to win another something special!
Wowzers!
Ok – about this incredible deal….
What is the Toadally Primal Wellness Bundle?

Pip & Bean, which is offering our readers a giveaway of a
Superhero Set: Reversible Cape, Reversible Mask, and Arm Bands, a value of $25.
Up, up, and away!
Mikko has got a serious obsession right now with superheroes. So when I saw the
fabulous shiny capes in Pip & Bean's Etsy shop, I knew Mikko would be thrilled.
Fun fact: Mikko wore his reversible cape, mask, and arm bands out while running errands, in the car seat and in the store, and
then to bed that night! He's a fan. A
superfan.
Adjusting his disguise in the car. The mask is made of two layers of sturdy felt with elastic firmly sandwiched between, so you can flip it to either color. Mikko must think his mask feels comfortable, because he left it on a long time! It's got nice wide eyeholes so seeing through it is still easy.
The arm bands are a similar sturdy felt. They come in just one of the coordinating shades, which was fine, and they slip on easily. They seemed to be very comfortable, too — easier for a kid to wear than gloves but still lending that superhero panache to the outfit.
The reversible cape is made of two thick, premium layers of satin. The drape and flow of the fabrics is excellent, and it just feels so nice to the touch. That might explain why Mikko slept in his! It also stood up to the Seattle rain admirably and still looks nice — I love children's wear that's washable!
