    90: Natural Pest Management Tips

    Whether you have pests already or not, prevention should be the first line of defense. Pests are typically entering for one of 2 or 3 reasons: food, shelter, and in some cases, water. With that in mind, today’s podcast covers some things you can do to help prevent an infestation in the first place.  And, if you already have a pest problem, we cover some strategies to try to get them out of your home. ***** The Missing Pillar of Health Podcast is brought to you by Green at Home.

    89: How I Cloth Diapered Both My Kids

    I decided early on that I would cloth diaper my kids. Environmentally it just made sense to me. There is more information about cloth diapering on the internet than you could possibly consume. Which can make it feel incredibly daunting! So before you go Googling and thinking there’s some magic bullet 100% right way to cloth diaper, know that there isn’t. And, like so many things in life, at some point you just have to get started. In this episode I share how you can decide if cloth diapering is for you, what you should know before getting started, and how you can cloth diaper long-term successfully.  Some of the things I cover: The lowest cost are typically Prefolds. Fitted DiapersAll-in-Ones Once you have the cloth diapers, how do you use them?Cloth Diaper Trouble-ShootingDiaper rashBut remember: if they’re leading to information overwhelm and therefore inaction on choosing a cloth diaper strategy, take a step back. The simpler the better. ***** The Missing Pillar of Health Podcast is brought to you by Green at Home.
