The biggest reason that I began review blogging was the news in late 2007 about the potentially toxic affects of BPA and it’s presence in hundreds of baby feeding products.

My kids can find danger just about anywhere.
Once we were at a going away party for some friends.
When they brought out the desserts, Jojo got so excited he started jumping up and down. But then he hit his chin on the table, and we spent the “mushy I will miss you speech time” in the [...]

As a mom, I am always fascinated with cultural differences in parenting.
In Laos, there isn’t a mind-numbing variety of “must-have” baby items like in the U.S. In fact, when Jojo was a four months old, his first car journey in Laos drew a crowd of neighbors.
