My good friend Sommer of Green and Clean Mom called me this morning with news I never really expected to hear: she was staring at a sippy cup marked with a #3 recycling code (PVC). What? Wait a minute, Sommer. I think it must be a mistake. Reusable plastic food containers are very (very!) rarely [...]
Yep, it’s really here – the first real glass sippy cup! We finally have a solution for folks who are striving to curb their plastic use. And I’m sure you can probably guess that the EIO Kids Cup was invented by a mom who realized that what she really wanted for her children didn’t exist. [...]

We were excited to receive the Me-Me Sippy Cup from the Innate company a few weeks ago for review. Well-designed stainless steel sippy cup choices are still fairly slim at this stage of the game. Currently, the top three most popular (and our top sellers) are The Safe Sippy, followed by Foogo and then Klean [...]
ZRecs provided us with the inside scoop on Playtex. We were surprised to hear that Playtex will become one of the first major baby product manufacturers to go BPA free. As ZRecs pointed out recently, Playtex is on the record indicating its belief that polycarbonate plastics are completely safe. The company is also a member [...]
