Concerned About Mold?
Not sure where to begin when you suspect mold in your home, school, or workplace? ERMI testing analyzes dust samples to identify and quantify the mold species present, and it's a great way to begin an assessment of any indoor environment. momsAWARE is pleased to offer two levels of this laboratory testing through our Online Store. To learn more about the testing process, check out our article on How to Interpret ERMI or HERTSMI Mold Test Results.
The Benefits of Natural Light
Do you suffer from mal-illumination? Is there a difference between natural light and artificial light as far as their effects on our health? See The Benefits of Natural Light to find out how a little outdoor time with access to full-spectrum light can go a long way toward boosting both our mood and our immune system!
All-Natural Pest Control
Insects and other uninvited pests are a time-consuming nuisance and may even present a risk to your health. The strong chemicals found in most commercial bug-killers and repellents may further compromise the safety of your environment. So how can you win the war against pests and still keep your family safe? See our Bug-Busting Bonanza for the four R's of natural pest control!
Get Ready for the Summer Sun!
What do gelatin and bone broth have to do with your fun in the sun? The connection relates to collagen, the most abundant protein in the body, which helps protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Learn some delicious ways to supplement this useful protein in our article Get Ready for the Summer Sun: Eat Some Collagen!
Pesticides and Schools
How concerned should we be when our children's schools spray pesticides and herbicides on a regular basis? Are these chemicals as harmless as we're led to believe? To learn more about how pesticides work, the possible health hazards involved, and the safer natural options available, see our article on Pesticides and Schools.

Choosing a Mold Remediator
Tackling a serious mold issue yourself can often make matters worse, as opening up a wall without proper containment can easily exacerbate the problem.
