I am all for a special occasion mani-pedi with my 6 year old, but only polish and only little girl colors (just got them for FL and, alas, our pedi's never saw the light of day!). Most exciting about it is the time spent together. My daughter has a lifetime of primping ahead, why start now? Birthday parties should let kids be kids. While we are at it, I can't stand earrings on babies, heels on young girls and tattoos that look real. No thanks! Agree!

We would make good mom friends! lol I just gave birth to our first little girl and all of this has already been discussed. First of all, they grow up so fast why rush it?? Second, the chemicals in these products are insane. Most are not even regulated. I am hoping there will be stiffer laws when my little one is older. Nice blog- I love fellow green blogs!

Your readers would likely be interested in a residential indoor air quality study released by CA on 12/15/2009. They found nearly ALL homes (98%) exceed the State's recommended level of formaldehyde. There are many sources for residential formaldehyde including laminate flooring, fiberglass insulation even though it is behind drywall, cabinets, doors, trim, furniture, closet organizers, fuzzy hangers, cooking etc. The only way to know is to test each home. Fortunately, this is easy and inexpensive, $39. Simply slide the badge's cover down exposing a series of hole. Hang in the center of the area to be tested, start with bedrooms. Wait 24-hours, slide closed and mail to vendor. Even if you get a low reading now, you should consider re-testing on a hot sunny summer day. This is because formaldehyde doubles with every 10 degrees. Also with the wall insulation being one of the biggest sources a wall getting summer sun can contribute a lot to that area of the home.
