    Getting away from using plastic when it comes to kids dishware can be tricky.  But once they reach an age where they are sitting with you to eat, you can start getting away with trying new materials.  I discovered Be Kind and their dishes through The Glass baby Bottle initially and I heard they had [...]

      In my quest for anything non-plastic I learned about CaliBowls from The Soft Landing.  I ordered some to try out in green and blue.  I was bent on replacing the plastic Munchkin bowls we’d been using which had become a hassle.  Since you can’t put hot food in plastic I’ve been using my regular glass [...]

        I had not heard of Modern Twist until recently and was eager to check out their products.  Modern Twist creates stylish chic placemats, coasters, and other fun items like drink markers – all made of hand silk-screened silicone.  You can choose from botanical or modern patterns that are subtle and delicate but have a very [...]

          I’m always looking for dishware and kitchen items that are not made of plastic. True there are lots of BPA and PVC free options available but I think alternatives like stainless steel and glass or wood tend to have a longer life and less risks of plastic leeching issues. I discovered LunchBots last year when [...]

            I’ve been a fan of the ThinkBaby company for some time and feel like a broken record when it comes to singing their praises. I use their ThinkSport stainless water bottle myself and have been using their ThinkBaby Feeding Set for over a year. I try to eliminate unneeded waste in my day to day [...]

              We had previously done a review on Kinderville’s awesome line of products.  Our personal stash is on heavy rotation.  We love their stuff.  It’s bright, colorful, attractive, best of all, 100% safe.  Kinderville’s products are free from phthalates, BPA, lead, and nitrosamine free.  Because it’s 100% silicone, it’s basically unbreakable, which is key when you have [...]

                  As a mom to a 3 year old attending preschool, food storage came to the forefront of my focus lately.  He’s already outfitted with a safe lunchbox, but I wanted to make sure the food inside was wrapped safely, while being reusable to reduce waste.   I got the chance to try out the new [...]

                      I’ve seen the character dishware sets in my local grocery store and Babies R Us and I’m sure you have too. I made a mental note to check them out, and then saw something sparkly and completely forgot about it. A quick check on google to see if I could find anything on them, turned [...]
