Chloe Jo Davis has been guiding Glamazons on the ways to be “green” on her Web site, GirlieGirlArmy.com, for over ten years. As written on the home page, it’s “a call to arms for badass baby divas and head turning cougars, who want to save the planet from hacky sack and doom at the same time.”
Known for spotting trends before they’re trendy, Chloe is now prepping for her shift into motherhood… in less than a month! She took time out from giving her 300,000 monthly readers tips and tricks to tell Breezy Mama the ways her soon-to-be-born son will be living the uber-green life.

With Valentine’s a few short days away, break away from the norm and get something OTHER than roses this year. Roses are sweet and romantic, but why not spice it up and get something out of the ordinary (but still within budget)? Breezy Mama contacted Jaime Beck, the daughter half of the mother/daughter duo of Whimsey Florals for some suggestions. And now, I present you Jaime . . .
If you normally only get bouquets for the special day and wonder why it’s so expensive, all flowers are marked up by at least 50% during the Valentine’s Day season. (One reason to schedule your wedding at some OTHER time. A Valentine’s wedding–romantic, yes, cheap, no.) The flowers below offer some inexpensive alternatives Read More…
When it comes to cleaning, I want a cleaner that’s easy to use and gets the job done. I dislike dealing with “capfuls in a bucket of water,” (I mean, really, who has the time?) so, for me, a spray is a must. Because I’m short on storage space, I also like one cleaner for all of my cleaning needs. And, since the baby is now moving about and eating off the floor (err, I mean table), a green, non-toxic cleaner is a huge plus. I did some research, tried a few out, and here are four which fit into the above categories.
Dapple Toy Cleaner Spray

The Queen of the Caboodle is back! This time, she brings new meaning to “Kelly Green.”
Don’t get me wrong, I try to help the environment as much as the next gal. I use my reusable bags when buying groceries, purchased stainless steel water bottles for the entire family, and even replaced my old light bulbs with energy efficient ones. I also try to buy organic foods and chemical –free products for my family and myself. But am I willing to sacrifice my favorite eye shadow to use chemical-free products that are good for the environment? THAT I have a harder time with. So, unless I really believe in an organic product, I am sticking with my paraben-filled eye shadow in its non-recyclable container, thank you very much.
That being said, I decided to take it upon myself to test some organic/recyclable products to see which ones are as good as the “high pollutant” ones. Here’s the list of products that I would easily use in the name of beauty, while saving my body from harsh chemicals and would certainly make Read More…

It’s time to sack up! At first I balked at the idea of getting three kids to the grocery store AND remembering my recyclable bags, but the visualization of thousands of dead birds in overcrowded landfills kept popping into my head. For the sake of sleeping at night, I decided to do my part in reducing waste. Turns out BYOB to the grocery store is actually quite convenient! There’s the hard part of remembering to bring the bags into the store even if you wisely just keep them in the back of your car, but, when you do, those suckers make getting the goods into your house a whole lot easier. Sling two on each arm as you would a purse, and you get four bags in the house while holding a baby on the hip and a toddler’s hand. Plus, unloading once inside suddenly became, well, a lot breezier, too. So, sure you’ll be saving the world but also some sanity! To help with your super hero planet saving ways, I picked out the top 5 cute reusable (and super affordable!) grocery bags. Read More…
