Good ?, We actually re-use a lot the glass containers purchased from the grocery store. I just bought a set of mason jars for storing and canning at a garage sale. We've purchased Pyrex glass dishes and the like in the past. I've also blogged about the bathtime green scene and have mentioned the all natural pacifiers. Important items, for sure!!! ; ) Hi Erika,

I happen to be working on a similar one to post this week. I'd just add rubber bath toys and pacifiers to your list. By the way where do you get your glass storage containers? Warm Regards, Erika Great list. I happen to be working on a similar one to post this week. I’d just add rubber bath toys and pacifiers to your list.

I'm sorry if I assumed that you weren't; I haven't been reading your blog very long and the impression I got from this post was something different. I suppose that it was my own fault since many bloggers out there who are newly into being "green" are often spending unnecessary money on organic this and sustainable that instead of either reevaluating their need for such-and-such or buying it second hand. Ach, forgive me for sounding a little odd, it seems my mommy-brain has given out on me lol I do enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to reading more!

Great points! I'm a firm believer in repurposing and thrift/antique store and garage sale shopping. In fact, I just purchased a car seat from a garage sale this wknd. for $5 for g-ma's vehicle, some canning jars for this summer's produce, and a few clothes for Tristan. I'd like to say also that MOST of his clothing is secondhand. We've made a few splurges here and there... Which brings me to the non toxic part...a lot of re-used or older baby items are not safe and BPA free...so when it comes to those items I'll spend the extra money. Right now, I'm looking for antique toys for my son...saw an add for an old roadster!! So, yes, it's best if you can find things that are used and take advantage of Freecycle or Craiglist...just Freecycled Tristan's old exersaucer and walker! Love that service. I also have a jean bib pattern that I'm planning to create shortly for my lil one! Today, my husband is coming home with a desk and carpet from a wealthy woman he works for. The desk and carpet is for an outbuilding we're turning into my sewing/storage room. I can wait to start sewing again!! We also make kitchen/bthrm cleaners, garden sprays, and baby wipes from scratch. We use baking soda, borax, vinegar and all sorts of natural remedies here!! I'm all for the au naturale and for consuming less whenever possible. :) Amy,
