Former Punky Brewster star Soleil Moon Frye, who is four months pregnant with her second child, opened an eco-friendly children's boutique, The Little Seed, in Los Angeles on Monday.

"It's an opportunity to make the planet a little greener," Frye, 31, tells PEOPLE. "I haven't slept at all these last few months. It's probably a combination of pregnancy and opening this store. It's so exciting."

The boutique, located in the hip enclave of Larchmont Village, carries green products, including sustainable furniture from Kalon Studios, organic toys from Zid Zid and non-toxic crayons and paints from Stockmeyer.

"I had such a hard time finding great organic and non-toxic items for my daughter," says Frye. "I wanted to create a place where parents can come and find products that are safe for their children, as well as good for the planet."

Her daughter's favorite item? "Poet loves to paint and draw," says Frye about her two-year-old daughter with husband Jason Goldberg, 36. "As soon as she comes to the store, she grabs the crayons and starts a new art project."

The actress, who founded the store with Paige Tolmach and Beth Birkett, reveals her second pregnancy hasn't been easy. "The first trimester was rough," she says. "I don't know why you call it morning sickness, because I was sick all day and night!" Still, she adds: "I'm finally feeling good."

Frye says her daughter Poet is already bonding with the baby, due in the spring. "She talks to the belly all the time and tells the baby she loves it."

Frye and Goldberg have decided not to find out the gender of their child, but they've already started talking about names. "Poet is such a unique name," she says about her daughter, whose full name is Poet Sienna Rose Goldberg. "And we have a family of crazy, wonderful names so we have a lot to live up to."

Good for her! Taking care of babies is what I like to hear after all this Britney crap!!!

[lurkur]

Great for her! It's amazing how wasteful (disposable diapers, wipes)and toxic (toys and shit from who knows wheres) most baby care products are. The baby industry these days is anything but green.

I swear to god....hasn't this already been done before??, i thought it has....okey maybe its just me going crazy

[LaSchifosaVita]

Wow, that's just almost unbearably adorable.

Good idea, too.

My daughter uses cloth diapers, even makes her own. People go WOW, like it is unheard of. She uses pre-fold and some all-in-ones, which are like disposibles. All you have to do is snap them cloesed. Washing diapers is the least of a mother's problem. Cleaning up barf is worse.

I had all that crunchy baby crap, easy to find.

[sweetness]

Yeah, I was a big fan of the disposable diapers myself, but that's good that she's doing this.
I'm sure everything is as expensive as hell though.....

Good for her. I hope it goes well for her.
