One Stop Shopping for "Safe" Plastics!

Good Morning,

Thanks to DailyCandy, I was made aware of an online shop that only carries plastic products that are BPA, PVC and Phthalate free!

It’s called The Soft Landing. It is a family run business that was started by a retired nurse and mother of three. Every mom knows the value of a one stop shopping experience. She carries all the bottles, food containers, toothbrushes, sippy cups, and teething toys from all of my favorite brands that I had to go to several different shops to find. I wish I knew about The Soft Landing before, but now I’m glad I do.




She also carries this Rubber Duck and Giraffe that I have made of natural latex rubber. It’s hard to find a Rubber Duck that isn’t vinyl, so this is a great find! And Sophie, the Giraffe, was Ethan’s favorite toy for a long time!

Thanks for the tip Daily Candy and thanks to Soft Landing for making shopping a little easier.

Happy Thursday!

Niki

(Follow up: SuperForester Jordan asked me what I meant by “Safe” plastics. Check out National Geographics, The Green Guide, which explains in more depth (and really clearly breaks it down) about which plastics are considered safer than others in regards to food storage. Also, Jordan, have you read my post from Time Magazine, The Truth About Plastic? I link to a girl who is trying to eliminate the use of plastic from her life too-you might dig her: Check out her Life Less Plastic blog. )

Organic (Local!) Baby Food

Hello, Niki here!

When feeding my son, Ethan, I try to use organic food whenever possible. Even better, is local and organic!

I have found it really convenient to have some pre-made baby food on hand when I just don’t have time to make him something homemade (although I do recommend trying to make your own homemade baby food, if you have the time–it is really fun and easy!). But, there are times I’ve just ran out of food. What better than organic baby food that was made in a kitchen right in New York!

Plum Organics, started by a NYC mom, flash-freezes all the of food to lock in flavor, freshness and nutrients. I love the use of cinnamon in the Banana Peach Rice Pudding! Whatever Ethan doesn’t finish, I lick the bowl clean!

Awesome that it didn’t need to travel that far to get into Ethan’s belly….YUMMY!

Have a delicious day!
