I was worried about the same things and kept going back and forth even though the kids were asking for one. Then my husband randomly showed up with one and so I just went with it. That being said, it was the best activity that all four of our kids (ages 3-11) loved. We had it for about 1 year and no major injuries or accidents (except me trying to do a back flip). It was a cheap trampoline and sadly did not last so we got rid of it. But I highly recommend! Great exercise for the kids and fun for all ages! We plan to get another one.

Walking with the baby postpartum was the best reentry into exercise for me. Its a win win for you and the baby and gets you out of the house and moving without the pressure of a gym. I highly recommend this you tube channel for workouts at home. She has a great postpartum workout list. My youngest is now 3 years old and I am still doing her workouts for strength training!

I love Thrive! I use it to stock my pantry items that I do not need ASAP. I keep a running cart until I qualify for free shipping. A few things we buy on repeat are:

Thrive Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Thrive Avocado Oil Cooking Spray
Thrive Organic Coconut Water
Fourth and Heart Grass Fed Himalayan Salted Ghee
Go Raw Organic Sprouted Pumpkin Seeds

Kids Snacks/Treats that are fun to try:
Thrive Organic Fruit Circles
Solely Fruit Gummies
DeeBee's Dip'ems (fun dip alternative)

Non Toxic Cookware is an excellent thing to add to you Christmas list! I got a Caraway set 2 years ago. I agree with @hanginbyathread that it is hard to clean the stains. Try soaking them overnight with the Branch Basics Oxygen Boost and then scrubbing.

I also LOVE this non stick pan and use it for the tougher to clean cooking like eggs! https://flavcitycookware.com/products/tri-ply-clad-fry-pan-ceramic-interior

Another clean option that people love- https://fromourplace.com/

Make sure you have a good stainless steel pan and a cast iron skillet!

Siete is also my favorite brand. We love their potato chips, tortilla chips, almond flour tortillas, mexican wedding cookies..its all soo good and they use avocado oil.

A few others I love (most found on Thrive or at Whole Foods)
Barnana Plantain Chips - these always work great as the crust for chicken nuggets
Lesser Evil Popcorn
Solely Fruit Jerky- my kids love the mango and pineapple

I am always posting things I try with my kids on my instagram if you need more tips. Also, anything that you make at home that calls for vegetable oil, just replace with EVOO or Avocado Oil. Works like a charm!

Major props to you for trying to avoid these. It is not easy but can make a huge difference in your health! Great job!

Re: Non Toxic Sunscreens!

I am a huge Think Baby fan. It works well and there is something for everyone in the family.

My most recent obsession is Sky and Sol! It is so smooth and goes on like a lotion and does not leave a white tint (that my kids gripe about). I love that they use tallow, which is what makes it so smooth. It checks all my boxes as far as being clean, safe for our bodies and effective.

I wish I would have found this at the beginning of summer!
