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...]
Amber Teething Necklaces – BPA Free
I had a slap my forhead moment not longer after I posted my BPA free teether and pacifiers post. Why? Because I forgot one very important teether! One of the comments on that post about non-plastic teethers jogged my memory. About a year or so ago I ran across amber teething necklaces.

BPA Free Pacifiers and Teethers
Pacifiers - also known as a paci, a nuk, a binky, a dummy. They are use all over the world to "pacify" babies, help them sleep, keep them relatively quiet, comfort them, and provide an outlet for the instinctive sucking that babies crave.

Some moms think giving a baby an artificial nipple is not a good idea and some moms never give it any thought. But do … [Read more...]
Friday Eco Wrap – Growing Kids Green
TGIF! Have an awesome weekend everyone! More on BPA - I have discussed it several times on this blog already but something interesting happened yesterday. Dozens of state and national environmental health organizations in the U.S. and Canada have called for an immediate moratorium on the use of BPA in baby bottles and food and beverage containers. The report they released called "Baby's Toxic Bottle" discusses how something designed as a synthetic sex hormone has ended up in polycarbonate … [Read more...]
