  lighting color

  I love the 5000K daylight.  It makes my home feel sunny and colors render correctly when I take indoor photos.  

  Since I switched to the 5000K daylight bulbs (over a year ago), I can't stand incandescent yellow light at all.  Ugh.  

  I generally end up ordering CFL's from the internet and I like Litetronic's bulbs best.  They make some incredibly small spirals and they claim to have very little mercury in them.  And no plastic in the packaging.  On A review of compact fluorescent bulbs posted 1 year, 11 months ago 28 Responses

  Toys

  You could make your kids' toys. Or help your kids make their own toys.  It wouldn't guarantee against toxins, but it certainly would make it easier to try to avoid them.

  Dad made us wooden toy cars, planes, and trains.  And Mom helped us sew dolls and clothes for them.  I also designed and sewed my own stuffed animals as a kid.  It was enjoyable and creative.

  Runny nose

  I have found that eliminating all foods/liquids containing high-fructose corn syrup from my diet has reduced my runny nose problem considerably.  Most days, I now have no need to blow or wipe my nose at all.  On Umbra on mini-dilemmas posted 2 years, 2 months ago 14 Responses
