    I really love dual purpose products when it comes to parenting – it just tickles me when something meant for one thing has a totally separate use.  I also try my best to be somewhat stylish on a day to day basis.  I know it’s hard – believe me there are days when I am [...]

      When I have a new baby around, like many, I tend to focus more on the baby than on myself and my appearance is well… lacking in polish.  I run out the door to drop one kid off at preschool while I rush off to the grocery store to get shopping done before I have [...]

        I found these Sassy Earth Brights teethers and rattles the other day while perusing my local Babies R Us. These are a great alternative for parents who are trying to get rid of all the plastic teethers in their house. The rattles are made of hardwood with water based stains and finishes, along with nice [...]

          We’ve already determined that there are in fact safe, affordable teethers made without BPA, PVC and phthalates on the market.

            Dear Safe Mama, I have teethers made out of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA)… are they safe? I thought vinyl was a bad plastic? I’ve gotten this question and admittedly, I didn’t know how to answer it. I asked the Non-Toxic Super Hero: Alicia from The Soft Landing. She of course, had the answers we seek! [...]

              In our quest to find safe teethers and other products I had stumbled on Sophie the Giraffe while perusing all the goodies on Cool Mom Picks. Sophie is hand made in the French Alps out of safe phthalate free rubber and features food quality paints. Sophie was so wildly popular that in 2007 Vulli, the [...]

                I’ve gotten a couple of emails from parents asking about BPA Free pacifiers and teethers. With all the news surrounding Bisphenol-a (BPA) in bottles and sippy cups, parents are now wondering what else they might need to modify in their babies routine to avoid those plastics. Once a parent learns about potential hazards its tough [...]

                  I received an email yesterday from a mom looking for information about safe teethers and utensils. So far we’ve only come across one teether that’s not even on sale yet and I have yet to find better information on what teethers and utensils already on the market are BPA and Phthalates free. However, we’re still [...]
