Have you had a chance to look at the site recently? Maybe some of you have noticed that the picture on the first page has change... and, yes, there is a picture of a Baby Carrier there!

I am soooo excited to introduce the Marsupi Plus Organic Baby Carrier! You have to check it out on the site. It is a great Kangaroo Carrier. So comfortable on the shoulders, it's amazing. I carry my 15 month old with it and it is more comfy that any other carriers I have tried.

So I have made the jump, thanks to Jubie Baby, a small import company in Ottawa. Marsupi Plus are made in Romania, with Organic Coton. They come in 5 great colours and you can even get a mini version for your little one. They too can learn how baby carrying is important with a favorite doll or teddy.

Remember this: The fact is that human infants like most mammal babies, are happiest, most comfortable and develop best when they are close to a warm body much of the time. And parents who hold, carry, or “wear” their babies on their bodies find themselves better able to read and respond to their babies’ cues, as well as to more easily go about their own regular daily routine while staying physically close to their little one.

Klean Kanteen v. Sigg...

2009-09-02T13:27:00.011-04:00

Well, what disturbing news I read last week... Some of you might have seen the link I posted in my personal page on Facebook. Yes, we just learned that Sigg bottles' liner contains BPA (for more details click here). Like many of you, I had Sigg bottles at home. Both of my bottles were for my kids, and after verification, they are the old model, with the copper liner. I don't think I need to tell you my feelings about this company... and I'm sure that if you are using their products, you feel the same way.

So after reading this, I can assure that those bottles went straight to the curb ! Now, we need new ones... Have you had the chance to look at the Klean Kanteen? I don't think you'll be disapointed with those. Here's why :

- Toxin-free materials
You never have to worry about the materials in a Klean Kanteen™. Toxin-free materials: We did the research for you and selected high quality, 18/8, food-grade stainless steel for the bottles and BPA-free polypropylene (pp#5) for the caps. Quality stainless steel doesn't need a liner like aluminum bottles, so it doesn't retain flavors or make drinks taste funky.

- Curvy corners and rounded threads
It's easy to clean our bottles because they were intentionally designed with radius (rounded) corners. The bottle doesn't have any sharp edges or hard angles where dirt or bacteria can hide. We also use large, rounded threads that are easy to scrub out so dirt, bacteria and germs don't get stuck in the threads of either the bottles or the caps.

- Functional large-mouth openings
You can handwash our bottles or throw them in the dishwasher. Either way, the large-mouth design the bottles makes it easy to keep them clean and sanitary.

- Flavor free
The food-grade stainless steel we use doesn't need to be lined with plastic or baked-on epoxy like aluminum bottles, so you'll never have to check to make sure the inside of your Klean Kanteen™ is still safe and intact. Because our bottles don't have a liner, they don't retain flavors or make drinks taste funky either.

And for those of you who are wondering why pay more than what I can get at Canadian Tire or Wal Mart, you just need to see and touch the bottle to feel the difference in the quality.

When you buy a Klean Kanteen™ you're getting a handcrafted bottle designed to last a lifetime. We use an extremely high quality metal that will remain stain and rust resistant for decades.

- Handcrafted quality
Every Klean Kanteen™ is made from pieces of stainless steel welded together by hand then electropolished for a smooth, shiny finish.

- Made to last a lifetime
The walls of Klean Kanteen™ bottles are noticeably thicker than most copycat brands. It's a well-researched balance between weight and durability, so they don't dent easily. If you take care of your bottle, it can last a lifetime.

- Stainless forever
Not all stainless steel is the same. We make our bottles using an extremely high quality metal so our bottles stay stainless and shiny forever.
