Neither of my children have been particularly fond of the bottle. However, since this mama has to work, my babies have to take a bottle. When my son was born, I didn't have a lot of BPA-free options. It's been 3 years and I think I would struggle to find a bottle that contains BPA.
When my daughter was born, we tried several different kinds of bottles. In t... Read More »

Earlier this morning, I participated in a web chat with Michelle Conlin and several "green" bloggers to discuss her film project entitled No Impact Man. I have an entire post dedicated to the project, but it definitely had me thinking about what MORE I can do to reduce my carbon footprint.
It seems simple enough... forgo BPA-laden plastic and opt for reusable bot... Read More »

When I was pregnant with my son, I struggled to find more than one or two companies offering BPA-free bottles and feeding products. It's been three years, and I don't think I could find a BPA-containing feeding product at Target if I wanted to (which is a good thing). The challenge is now to decide which bottle, sippy cup, feeding set is most fitting for our child... Read More »

I never imagined I'd go through as many sippy cups and bottles as I have with my two children. I've had almost 3 years of experience with nearly every bottle and sippy cup on the market so I have a pretty good idea of what works for my children. Because I just adore most European-designed products, I was thrilled to hear that Tommee Tippee, the number-one brand of i... Read More »

I'm busily getting ready for our little girl, due to arrive very soon. I'm going through bins of clothes to see what we can salvage from our son's newborn days. I'm going through baby gear and dusting it off for her arrival. And I'm doing a lot of research for the few things we still need that I couldn't reuse from our little boy.
It seems like so far away, y... Read More »

By now it's been at least a month since the school year started. Fortunately, I don't have to pack a lunch for my son (yet). The time will surely come quickly but for now, I'm enjoying the teeny break I get twice a week. If you do have to pack a lunch for your school-ag... Read More »

I can answer that question easily. I'm in two phases right now. I'm a mom to an adorably inquisitive two year old boy and almost 6 months pregnant with a baby girl. Both have their joys and challenges.

I spend much of my day cleaning up messes. It's my job as a mom and I am definitely not complaining. After all, my son is still young. But cleaning floors, couches, clothing, and cars does get tedious after awhile. So I often find myself thinking about what I can do to avoid a mess. For example, Target sells these little snack containers that are supposed to... Read More »

I recently read an article from the National Resources Defense Council, stating that bottled water is "not necessarily cleaner or safer than most tap water." Honestly, this was difficult to read. I used to be a huge consumer of bottled water. I would NEVER drink tap water unless I was stuck somewhere, thirsty. The reality is that bottled water is costly, both to... Read More »

I was fortunate to have read an article about BPA on Zrecs when I was pregnant with my son. At that time, the only manufacturers who sold BPA-free bottles were Medela and Born Free. If you're still confused as to what BPA is or why it's harmful, I encourage you to check out... Read More »
