There is a news story about links to lead in children’s lunch boxes I keep seeing. I have been buying lunch boxes for Zannie from Artic Zone, but I like a product I heard about amongst my mom friends who live locally. It seems there is a great product called Laptop Lunches that is a local company and is sold in health conscious shops. Here is the story:

Also, the other thing I’ve done recently is started using unbleached sandwich bags for anything that isn’t damp. Every little bit counts, right?
How much more proof do we need? Vinyl. It’s bad.

For a long time, there have been concerns with products from China. If, for no other reason, there are so many human rights violations concerning sweat shops and working conditions, we should be buying less products from China and Taiwan. But, in yet another massive sweep of recalls involving children’s bibs being sold under several different brand names like Koala kids and Especially For Baby from Kids/Toys ‘R us, there is a new concern over lead being in the PVC vinyl bibs they sell.

Hey! My favorite brand of baby dolls are made of a pvc-free vinyl. Yippee! I have liked Corolle dolls since my daughter was turning one and I was looking for quality dolls for her birthday. I liked the look of them (not creepy) and they had eyes that closed or nice-looking hair. They come with a vanilla scent. How can you beat that?
Here is a great online toy company that also sells Corolle dolls.
