My daughter is over 1 year old now! I am looking for a free software or tool to create some animated photos and videos for her.

I use Smilebox to create invitation card when I invite my family and friends to my daughter’s one year old party. They said it was amazing. Yes, you can use it whenever, like celebrating a birthday, introducing baby, showingappreciation, or simply expressing your love with these free interactive cards.

Safe, Natural and Organic Baby Sunscreen Lotion
I am looking for a safe sunscreen for my baby girl now. The sunscreen should be free of parabens, phthalates, PEG’s, propylene glycol, SLS, dioxanes, and synthetic fragrances. Another ingredient should be watched out for is the synthetic chemical oxybenzone. Oxybenzone is an endocrine disruptor which can affect the nervous system, has been linked to cancer in some laboratory studies, and creates free-radicals when exposed to the sun which are harmful. Here are the list of safer natural sunscreens that use mineral (or sometimes referred to a physical) sunscreen which is typically Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide or any combination of those two.
Mama Rose’s Naturals Sunblocker All Natural Sunscreen
Notes: Seems to be chemical free, comes in an SPF 50 which is the highest natural sunscreen SPF we’ve seen. Available online through the companies website.
California Baby Everyday/Year-RoundTM Sunscreen
Burt’s Bees Chemical Free Sunscreen (w/ or w/o Hemp Seed Oil)
Kabana Skin Care Green Screen
Notes: Made from 8 edible-grade organic and natural ingredients and uses non-nano Zinc Oxide for protection. This only has an SPF of 20 (also available in tinted SPF 22 and SPF 15) but it a great option as far as safe ingredients go.
