Inquisitive Game for 3-5 year olds

I thought of this game last night and played it with my 4 year old daughter.
First you need to pick a category, for instance type of food, type of animal or person you both know.
Then you give a clue about what you are thinking of and then the other person guesses.
For example, say the category is Type of Food
Then give a clue. This food we have every weekend.
The other person anwswers Pizza!

It was challenging at first for her to give clues and not tell me the answer, but she soon got the hang of it. Try it, it's fun.

Non Toxic Cleaners

I just purchased cleaners for my home that are non toxic. I chose Method non toxic cleaners because I really enjoy the fragrance. Now I say fragrance, this is not chemical fragrance, it's natural. It's the Method Tub and Tile cleaner
Their products contain no Phosphates and no bleach.

Playtex Drop In Liner baby bottles

I have found the Playtex drop in liner baby bottles do not contain the chemical bisphenol A. I have been using these bottles since I heard about the chemicals in the plastic bottles. Also glass bottles do not contain the chemical, but I feel more comfortable using the Playtex. The glass is more expensive and too heavy for my baby to use. Also the glass may break which could be very dangerous.

Flame Retardent PJ's -- Good News

Joe Boxer PJ's at Kmart do not contain the flame retardent chemical. I was so excited to find these on the rack yesterday. I was looking at a real cute shirt and pants with butterflies and found the tag says, this outfit is not flame resistent.
So I bought the outfit! I said in my last post my daughter is turning 3 and she is going to love this outfit!!
I can't wait for her to wear it!

3rd Birthday

Well our daughter will be 3 soon....What do you get for a 3 year old girl? don't know

Well all this talk about chemicals being put into baby bottles. I just found out that there is a chemical added to kids pajamas. It's a flame retardent chemical but since our children wear the material with the chemical laden materials, the chemical gets into their bodies. I went through their clothes and threw out their flame retardent pjs.
Humans are resilient but maybe this is another reason why cancer rates have climbed.??

Playtex Baby Bottles with the Disposable Liner

We found a replacement for the Dr. Brown's bottles. We are using the Playtex bottles with the disposable liners. They do not contain any of the harmful chemicals. We are so excited to find a replacement that's not too expensive.
