When I released my reports on BPA free sippy cups I had a large number of moms ask about regular cups (non sippy) as well as plates, bowls, and utensils. I can certainly understand why any parent would hesitate to give a toddler or young child a glass or ceramic cup and plate so of course it is important to highlight BPA free options for plates, cups, and utensils. Fortunately there are quite a few options! They are stylish and non-toxic. I have highlighted most of the ones I know of. If you … [Read more...]
Chemical Free Pools
Ugh...I thought maybe I would have a little more time before I got hit with this again the kids are already asking if we will be getting a pool this summer.

After a whole weekend of building with blocks and tinker toys my oldest especially starting using that phrase that I think all moms detest, "I'm bored". First he used this phrase on his Dad...who then suggested they bring up a Playstation from the basement (sitting unused in … [Read more...]
Friday Wrap – Crafty Stuff
TGIF! Have an awesome weekend everyone! I just got my taxes done so I know I for one have a huge weight off my shoulders and I am ready for some fun. All last week I kept thinking I need some sort of mail/bills organizer to hang on the wall. I assumed that plastic is what I would find along these lines but yet I couldn't find anything that was like what I envisioned. Then I came across this blog post with instructions for making one out of a linen dishcloth...which I have dozens of. Wow! This … [Read more...]
