Congrats to Jessica. Comment #196 was chosen from Random.org as the winning comment!
Healthy Child, Healthy World has teamed up with Citrus Lane (Fresh finds. Parent tips. Delivered monthly.) to provide a Limited Edition Healthy Child, Healthy World subscription box for kids. How do you know what’s safe for your kiddos? With so many nasty, toxic chemicals out there, it’s hard to keep everything straight. Citrus Lane is here to help!
Citrus Lane offers gift box subscription service, care packages for parents, full of green alternatives to keep babies safe. Their boxes feature a variety of green products, toys, and snacks for kids in a subscription service. How cool is that? I have never heard of a “green” gift subscription for babies before. What a fabulous idea for a baby shower gift.
Each care package from Citrus Lane:
- Contains 4 – 5 “best-of” products
- Is based on the child’s age (from newborn to 3 years)
- Costs $25 (FREE shipping)
- But is worth $30-45 (plus a featured treat)
- Includes a new theme each month
- And is available as a 3, 6, or 12 month subscription service!
The particular box pictured above is really special. It is a limited-edition Healthy Child Healthy World box, curated by Executive Director, Rachel Lincoln Sarnoff, and features non-toxic products from brands like HAPPYBABY, Green Toys, BabyGanics and Dolphin Organics to help educate families on safer and healthier alternatives for the home and your baby’s nutrition. A percentage of proceeds go to the Healthy Child, Healthy World cause!
Some of you may know that I occasionally write posts for Healthy Child, Healthy World. I was thrilled to find out that my post Healthy New Year’s Resolutions won a prize! I’ll be getting my own Citrus Lane box in the mail soon, and even better, HCHW and Citrus Lane have provided me with one to giveaway to one lucky reader!
If you’d like your own Limited Edition HCHW Citrus Lane box, you have two choices!
1. Purchase a subscription by January 14 (for the Jan Limited Edition box), by going here

My biggest concern is that there are so many products out there that are marketed as healthy, but really aren’t. I’m a label-reader, but there are so many people who just believe the big “Healthy For Your Kid Because it Has Real Fruit!” stickers that are plastered all over the package of candy apples (or whatever it is). Too many people don’t use their critical thinking skills…

I am worried about all the hormones, antibiotics in meat and milk as well as artifical coloring, high fructose corn syrup and preservatives in food.

i worry about toxins in foods for children, as it seems logical to follow that the impact is more critical on growing minds and bodies.
My biggest concern is that there is something lurking in children’s products that can cause some kind of health issue down the road. Most toys/gear/etc. for children are not organic or made of simple materials. As technology and society have “advanced” we have created new ways to poison our children. Such a shame!
I am most concerned with the chemicals that are found in the food my kids eat, water they drink, and that are found in consumer products we use.

Having a baby is one the most wonderful feeling in the world.
I am worried about the chemicals used now that will soon be shown to be harmful. For every chemical we take out, another one is used to replace it until it is also shown to be harmful. It is a ridiculous cycle.

My worry is trying to decifer between good products and ones that claim to be good products…so many things out there so that it can be confusing.
I worry about BPA and plastics being in EVERYTHING my baby will come in contact with.

I like you on Facebook and I am concerned that my 2 yr old doesn’t get enough sleep and protein becaue he doesn’t eat meat well.
There is so much we have to read and look for on kids products.
I don’t know that one concern is the biggest unless you lump it all into my concerns about what all this exposure to artificial and altered products are doing to my child in the long run. We try to eat organic, bathe organic, and switched our bedding to organic. I have also been phasing out all non-stick cookware, and many other things.
I have an 8 day old baby so I worry about everything! lol But I’m worried about un-natural products and items used everyday that are actually toxic and unhealthy.

My concern about healthy products for my children is that there’s so much products out there and a lot of them are labeled healthy and friendly but you never know. Especially with a lot of things getting recalled, it’s just scary.

My biggest concern right now is the lead content. I keep seeing so many recalls and just cannot understand how in the world….our babys toys have such high lead contents? Just unimaginable! So scarey !!!! And…also the apple juice right now they are researching? Crazy! Just seems like its so hard to find safe toys, clothing, and food for our kids.

My biggest concern is just that there are so many little bits of chemicals, pesticides, etc. used in foods and other products and I worry about the combined effects of all of these chemicals building up. I try to minimize exposure to these things as much as is practical for my son.
I now subscribe to your blog via google reader
my biggest concern about healthy foods is that a great deal of them use the squash family as fillers for nutritional value…however, my daughter is severely allergic to the squash family. It is amazing when you have such a strange allergy and start looking how many foods have squash/pumpkin/etc in them!
I worry about toxins in my childrens products

I worry more about the toys for children than food. You know what goes into meals if you make them from scratch but how do you know what nasty chemicals or lead go into the toy your child is putting into his/ her mouth?

My biggest concern is actually knowing what is and isn’t safe. It seems like those things change so often I am worried I’m working on outdated information.
My little ones have very sensitive skin so it is always a big concern for me what it in the products I use on my children’s skin. It was so shocking to me that Johnson & Johnson is so harsh on the skin. With my first child I thought they were the go to company for baby products, but their products have so many chemicals in them. crazy…
My biggest concern is finding something that my kids actually enjoy that is healthy for them.
I like simplify on fb
My biggest concern for my children is really about trying to weed out as much of the unhealthy stuff “out there” as possible – gmo’s, toxins like pesticides, artificial ingredients in foods, overexposure to chemicals, etc. The list could go on & on. Thanks for the info on some great stuff & for the giveaway!

I worry about the effects that these products will have on my children in the long run. You always hear about lawsuits against these big companies years and years after they’ve been making or distributing products or chemicals/medicines that have once been deemed safe, and are now known to cause cancer and other ailments.

I worry about how processed every thing is,, additives, high fructose corn syrup
I have worried about the BPA in other kitchen items I use to prepare my son’s baby food. Plus my 11 yr old had early puberty so worried about the hormones in milk and meat.
I raised my kids in the 80s. I don’t recall being concerned about anything I gave my children except food with “red dye”. I didn’t know any better. Today is a different. I am getting ready to be a 1st time grandma, and I am very concerned about all the preservatives and chemicals in food and the possibilities of harm from them. Some things we don’t have control of, but food is one of them
