Babies for the Planet

I recently decided to get an umbrella stroller for traveling and to have as a lightweight option in the car. I ended up with a Britax, but when it came time to find a raincover for it, I was disappointed with my choices. I found one that was PVC-free, a must for any little one, but it only had a small clear window and the rest was opaque. It made me claustrophobic just looking at it, so I continued my search until I found the BabyPlanet new single-seat rain cover. It's completely clear, PVC-Free, BPA-Free and Phthalate Free. It's lightly frosted to reduce glare. As far as fit, it is made for BabyPlanet's single seat strollers, but fits most other brands as well.
Icing on the Good & Green cake is that they have a donation and recycling program to keep their (as well as any other brands you send in) strollers out of landfills.

Cooking is a snap

As I finish up a night of cooking...turkey meatloaf, beets, purple kohlrabi puree (I buy from an organic food share, and have to figure out something to do with the weirder vegetables that I get), I was just thinking about how much I love the glass storage set that I bought two sets of. The lids are silicone and snap on tightly. I baked my meatloaf in one, let it cool and then just snapped the top on and put it the fridge. The beets and kohlrabi, I transfered from the hot pan right into a glass container, let it cool for 10 minutes and then let it join the meatloaf in the fridge. I'm a big cook-ahead-and-eat-as-leftovers-girl, so these things are lifesavers for me, and none of that yucky plastic leaching to worry about.
