We’ve found a new favorite for hot Summer days! The Little Bites Silicone Ice Pop Molds by Kinderville make creating healthy, homemade, toxin-free popsicles a cinch. The only thing that goes into your kiddo’s treat are the fresh ingredients you choose. And I have to admit, we’ve been going a little crazy around here with [...]

With the upcoming birth of my second child, I sent out in search of a dependable breast pump. I’ve tried several brands of pumps in the past, all of which left me frustrated and wondering if there was a pump that could meet my needs. With one the suction was too weak leaving me pumping [...]

I just finished reading Slow Death by Rubber Duck, the story two concerned men hoping to shed light on everyday toxic chemical exposure by experimenting on themselves. They focus on a new kind of pollution. We’re not looking for external evidence in factory smoke stacks and slimy rivers; we’re talking about insidious, internal pollution. A [...]

The folks at Life Factory just introduced a unique glass water bottle created especially for adults on the go. But let’s be honest, I’m kind of a stainless steel girl. So when they first arrived in our warehouse I gave them a perfunctory look, but I really thought this would be a product for someone [...]

I’ve been looking forward to reading Micaela Preston’s “Practically Green”, not because I wanted to embark on a more serious green lifestyle, but because of who she is. She’s a true blue, easy does it, down-to-earth kind of girl. So I sat down early the last several mornings with my cuddly little puppy while the [...]

Boon, Inc. has a knack for taking the hum drum and transforming it into something fun. Their new Grass Countertop Drying Rack is way too cute to be called something boring like “drying rack” – it’s a stylish piece of art that happens to be perfect for drying all kinds of baby accessories!

Okay, I’ll admit when the Drop-Guard company first contacted us with info about their silicone-encapsulated bottle, I thought the idea a bit strange. And when I opened the package, I thought they were regular glass bottles until I touched one. The silicone over-molding can’t be seen (unless you choose the tinted version), but the bottles have a [...]
