    It’s no secret that I love Lullaby Organics or that I love to support small businesses when possible.  So when I was invited to participate in Lullaby Organics 12 Days of Holi-Daily Deals I was totally on board!  Starting on November 25th and ending on December 6th, they will have a deal of the day [...]

      A long time ago, a reader emailed me asking about bean bag chairs and what they are filled with.  At the time I didn’t have a good answer for her.  It seemed that most were filled with either polystyrene or flame retardant treated foam bits** See NOTE below **.  And that was just the inside.

        Hi all!  I know some of us are already back IN school this week but I’ve put up a new version of the Safer Lunch Gear cheat sheet this morning which was revised somewhat from last year’s.  I removed a thing or two and added some new brands.  There are tons of great reusable (and [...]

          It’s rainy season! I’ve covered safer rain gear before and since it is actually raining today, I thought it was appropriate to write about it! Puddlegear is owned and run by a husband and wife team who really stand behind the product.  All their rain gear is totally PVC and Phthalate Free and instead coated [...]

            I was introduced to Innobaby products a while back from The Glass Baby Bottle and then ventured over to their website where I found they’re really cute stainless steel divided dinner platter called Din Din SMART. Since then I’ve checked out their products and received some samples to check out.  Innobaby does a really good [...]

              I baby proofed my home with my first son and never had too much trouble with him getting into dangerous places.  He was content enough to hurt himself on the plain old driveway more than anything else.  With my second however, it’s a totally different story.  He gets into everything, touches everything and pays attention [...]

                I get an email about those foam puzzle piece mats about once a week.  If you have emailed me recently about it and I didn’t respond it’s because I have been rolling this one around in my brain for a while and I don’t have a “best” case scenario to offer you.  But what I [...]

                  A while back we did a quick write up of safer alternatives to lunch boxes when all that “lead in lunchboxes” hoopla went down.  Since then there are so many great alternatives to lunch boxes available that it totally warrants a new cheat sheet. Lunchboxes are perfect for little and big kids and help reduce [...]

                    Last year we had gotten the question about baby and wading pools for small kids.  What better way to spend a summer afternoon than sitting in your backyard with some friends and letting the kids splash around?  It’s a nice cheap afternoon.  The kids are having fun, you’re working on your tan (in moderation of [...]

                      I’ve been watching this weeks series of “expose” reports concerning Hidden Filth on the Today Show this week.  Today they discussed the filth lurking in children’s bath toys.  My purpose for reporting it is two fold.  First, I knew bath toys could harbor mold which is why I try to air dry the kids toys [...]
