Tuna fish that isn't so fishy

I've been looking for a canned albacore tuna fish so that I can make my girl a nice little tuna fish salad sandwich, but almost all canned goods have the not-so-added benefit of having BPA in the can linings. I've made a habit of buying most of my other usually-canned goods (tomato paste, beans, peas, etc.) in glass jars or frozen bags instead. Tuna, unfortunately doesn't taste so great out of a frozen bag and isn't available in glass jars so my search went on until the other day when I picked up a can of Wild Planet sustainably and wild-caught albacore tuna fish in Whole Foods and read the back label to find that, wahoo, they use a certified BPA-free can.
Wild Planet tuna fish is also much lower in mercury than the average canned tuna fish because they use smaller troll-caught fish instead of larger and older (which means higher-in-mercury) line-caught fish.

Wishing you a Happy Earth Day with an offering of Green Toys

Yesterday morning, at 6am, when my dear daughter tends to wake up, I did a small inventory of some of the toys that have slowly been trickling into our house (via gifts from Grandparents and well-meaning friends) and realized there were lots of "invader" toys that do not meet my standards for the health of my daughter mixed in the bunch. So I got a basket and started gathering questionable plastic toys to put into toy lock-up and then took a look to see what alternatives I could find for them that were BPA and Pthalate-free. The skies opened up when I found safe versions of all the "no" toys in my reject basket. From the same people, Green Toys, who brought us the BPA-free tugboat made of recycled milk jugs I also found replacement "safe" versions of our play dishes and utensils, tools, trucks and other great safe toys are also available. They're now in my Amazon basket and I'm hoping they'll make it into yours too.

ABCs with no BPA

I just started using these bath-time, foam letters and my daughter loves them. I might be giving her too much credit for a 9-month-old, but yesterday she pointed to the letter M when we asked her which letter was for Mama, then pointed to P for papa. I never would've guessed a Sassy foam product like this to be BPA, PVC & Phthalate free, but it is. A-W-E-S-O-M-E.

Clean eats

I tested this Tiny Diner mat out the other day at a restaurant and it worked pretty nicely. I was able to lay down snack food and toys without having to wipe down a slimy table first. It even has a little food-catcher area that hangs off the table. It wasn't fool-proof, but saved some pieces from the floor. Several suction cups kept it on the table with no problems. Made by Summer Infant. BPA, PVC and latex-free.
