http://non-toxickids.net/ : Safer Play Sand-

Sat, 17 Oct 2015 17:21:29 +0000

Thanks Aud for this comment. I too have been wondering about movement sand! I have a box in my basement (from a family member). It has some bright color so I assume there are dyes, and the sand itself must have some sort of polymer in it for it to be pliable. Anyone have info? I will dig into this soon.

Thanks so much for commenting! Here's some info about higher SPFs. They don't seem to do much more after 30! http://www.webmd.com/beauty/sun/high-spf-sunscree... Thanks for reading and be well! Katy

You could do second hand fleece footies. I know with many washings the flame retardants do come out. I hope this helps!

That is fantastic! We love the poems. Thank you for writing! It is a lovely book and CD. It is still playing in my daughters CD player-- it has been for 10 years now. She has never tired of it. Best wishes to you!

Hi Jennifer! We are a cotton PJ house here. Even in cold Vermont! Lots of layering and blankets. :)

Hello, I had no idea about your bike. It looks very nice as well! I'm not sure who had the idea first, but I wish you all the best. Katy

Thank so much Dede for bringing this book to life! I am so proud to be working with a Vermont publisher that focuses on the environment. I couldn't ask for more. :)

Hi Paty, I didn't know Burt's Bees made PJs. If they are 100 percent cotton and snug fitting (with a label that says-- wear them snug fitting) then they do not have flame retardants. I love MightyNest for most household items and toys. They research everything for safety and environmental impact! Check them out. Best of luck! Katy

Thank you Leigh for your comment. I agree. These children need attention, play, safety, and kindness. Home settings would be best especially for the younger kids. Yes- we can do better than to house children in cells like they are in prison.

No problem Mike! You are so welcome. Thanks for all your work on this issue. Hopefully we will see some movement now. I also have a video outside of the Walgreens-- just haven't had a chance to post it yet. Thanks for commenting!

Hi Anne! Thanks for commenting and for visiting your local Walgreens! I find it a confusing message for kids when things are cute but toxic. Ugh! That's why this is so important. Thanks again.

Thanks! She actually got into it and talked quite a bit to the manager. Cancer has really hit home for us, with a dear friend and a teacher, so this means a lot. Thanks for commenting!

You are so welcome! Didn't know if we would stave off hunger but that chocolate milk she had sure helped. Glad to do it for Mind the Store. Thanks for commenting and for all your work to keep our kids safe.

Thanks for commenting Ave! I think they will do great-- I just saw another link to their crowdsourcing site. Looks like they are off to a great start. Those dolls sound amazing, I wish they were still around too-- no plastic!

Thanks LIndsay. Your mom sounds like a wise women. We love smoothie at our house and do make them a great deal. Now we'll make them all ourselves! And thanks for your comments about being hard on myself. I have a tendency to do that. :) Thanks again. Katy
