Filed Under Phthalates Info, Product Reviews, PVC Free, Toy Safety | Comments Off

I recently got my hands on all of the new Boon Bath Toys for my son. Our bath toy collection had drastically dwindled last year when I learned about PVC and Phthalates and promptly pitched everything we had. Bye bye bath squirties. Then, light shone down on me when I entered a giveaway at The [...]

We got an email from a reader last week asking about rain gear. I thought writing something up about it now at the beginning of Spring would be an appropriate time. Traditionally, raincoats and hats are made with a PVC outer shell. We try to avoid PVC for a multitude of reasons. Dioxins: PVC or [...]

I know, I know, how lame is this? I’m writing a review about cheese. That isn’t even really cheese. Here’s the thing: if you have a child who has a dairy allergy, sometimes it’s the simple things in life that make them happy. Like a grilled cheese sandwich. I’ve made it no secret that I’m [...]

Kathy had written the other day about Easter creeping up on us and where you can find natural and organic candy. Some people may not celebrate Easter for religious reasons, or maybe you just don’t feel that you need to be a part of the commercialism aspect. However, for those that do, I’m sure you’re [...]

I have been slowly making the switch of all my daughters bath/body products to all natural/organic. My only concern is that I’ve noticed most of the organic and natural products Do Not have any safety seals on them as opposed to the others like J&J, etc. Just wondering?

I’ll be the first to admit, I’m horrible about remembering to bring reusable shopping bags with me to the store. I’m better with the grocery store, but when I get home and unpack them, I hang them outside on a hook in the garage, so that I remember them for my next trip to the [...]

I’m a tad late in typing this up, thanks to a sick 3 year old – but I wanted to quickly highlight this. The Consumer Reports blog reported about it, and I also stumbled on it over at Polliwogged and DaddyTypes (2 great GREAT blogs to be reading by the way) so you can get [...]

This a question that we get from time to time, but not so much recently. I’ve also gotten this from my friends and acquaintances as well and that is, are there any safe products out there to keep stainless clean and streak free? Can I just say that for one, I’m over the stainless steel [...]

Now that my 3 year old is in pre-school, finding safer school supplies and lunch items came to the forefront of my life. I didn’t want to become part of the giant pile of waste created by disposable lunch containers and wraps so I went on a hunt to find better solutions that wouldn’t be [...]
