Aug, 09Eco Teethers
Teething is a natural part of your baby’s growth and it can be difficult for everyone. Teethers are great in aiding your baby’s discomfort, but it’s important to choose one that’s safe. Traditional teethers can contain dangerous things like phthalates or bisphenol A (BPA), which are hormone disruptors linked to obesity, cancer, and early puberty. They can also contain PVC Plastics which release toxic chemicals both during and after production. The teethers pictured above are just a few Eco-friendly teethers that can provide your baby with the necessary comfort they need, while being environmentally conscious. Enjoy!

Aug, 09Nursery Silhouette | By Decor8
What a fabulous way to decorate your baby’s nursery! Holly over at Decor8 painted this city-scape silhouette with her children using black chalkboard paint. I love this idea because it’s great for a nursery that would eventually transform into a toddler room and even pre-teen bedroom. This way you don’t have to update the walls as your child grows, just the furniture. I would also like to see something like this in a playroom! Enjoy!
