There has been some recent concerns about the safety of menstrual products- the chemicals used to create the tampons and pads could possibly leech into the body.  Some claim that those chemicals can cause anything from cancer to heavier periods.  Then there are the concerns for TSS (toxic shock syndrome).  Plus there are the environmental concerns with the disposal of said produc...

In my continued search for sippy cups containing no bisphenol-A, I purchased two from Born Free.  This cups is free of toxins that are in many plastic sippy cups, so is safer for children.  The handles are nice for little hands, and the spout is soft.  When assembling the cup for the first time, however, I lost track of the number of times I said "are you kidding me?"&n...

This little miracle of a measuring cup has replaced all other measuring units in my kitchen. It has all I can possibly need. First of all, it can be used to measure both solid and liquid stuff. The markings for solid measurements are printed in red, and for liquid ones in blue. I can measure solids in cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, and milliliters - the cup has them all. No more wondering how to...

These sipper cups are great for kids just getting used to the idea of a sippy cup, and without the tiresome act of holding up arms to drink, and tip the cup into their mouth. This enables them to sip, and suck the liquid. I do not have children, but I babysit my neighbors regularly, and this is a cup that they particularly find easy to use, and I find easy to fill with liquid. Screw on the top,...

My youngest daughter goes through sippy cups like candy.  She is disabled and really bites down hard on the cups nipple.  The cost can really add up when you have to continue purchasing new cups each week.  I decided to head to Wal-mart and see if they had anything cheaper than what I was already buying.I found a sippy cup by Nuby that promised to be spill-proof for the low price...

I have been wanting to purchase the Sip & Smile Handle Soft Spout Sippy Cup by Gerber for my Son for awhile, knowing I had a coupon for it, but I just couldn't find it! So I bought it without the coupon, which was fine, it's only $3.99, I've seen more expensive sippy cups out there. The soft spout allowed my Son to have such a easy transition from bottle to sippy cup, we complet...

We had received these blue cups by Corelle for our wedding, as a part of a lovely tableware set. The set design was a little different - blue hearts on white, but these cups matched it very well. The cups have what I would call classic shape; they are medium-sized, solid blue, both on the outside and on the inside. I have been using them for hot and cold drinks - hot tea and cocoa, coffee, a...

The coffee maker I was using had seen better days, so I was in the market for a new one.  During my search for a replacement, I ran across the "one cup" coffee makers and it piqued my curiosity.  Upon further research, I decided I didn't want to mess around with coffee ‘pods' to make one cup of coffee at a time.  It seemed like too much expense and hassle ...

This Trudeau 20 Ounce Car Cup is Hot, or Cold or whatever you want it to be.  It really keeps liquids hot or cold for a long time.  I believe that the manufacturer claims it will keep liquids warm for 4.5 hours, and I have found this to be about correct.This attractive cup fits in most standard cup holders.  It seals tight and does not drip even if you lay it on it side.  It...

My mom bought this coffeemaker a few weeks ago, and I got to use it when the family all got together for the holidays. Now I am not a big coffee drinker, but this unit makes hot chocolate, too, so it truly offers something for everyone. The idea for this single-cup coffeemaker is simple. You buy individually packaged containers (which are called "K-cups) of coffee, tea or other drinks like...

The Gerber Fun Grips Color Change Spill-Proof cup is made for toddlers.  The cup has an hour glass shape, so tiny hands can hold on tight.  The bumps on the cup help prevent kids from dropping a slippery cup.  Even if they do drop it, the spill-proof part works great most of the time.  We have had a few problems when my daughter throws the cup hard from her high chair. ...

I started using silicone bakeware around 3 years ago.  My first purchase was a set of silicone baking cups that I used to the point that they started to fall apart.  I then purchased a new set from Kaiser to replace my old set. Kaiserflex Silicone Baking Cups are high quality and come in beautiful colors.  A set of 6 costs around $10, which may seem high until you open the pac...

These cups come in two-packs. In the package we purchased, the Dora the Explorer design, one cup is purple with a green lid and green bottom and the other is green with a blue lid and bottom. They sport cute character designs on one side a "This cup belongs to:____" tag on the other side. Ours were Dora the Explorer, but the cups also come in Sponge Bob and Diego. The cups hold 10 oun...

Just like with the other Take-N-Toss products, this is a product that's meant to be durable and sturdy enough to reuse but also cheap enough to toss when needed.I'm one of those mothers who's really into making homemade mush for her baby. The big problem with this method of feeding is that you either make small amounts every time you feed your baby or you make large amounts and need...

My son loves soccer. Plays it, watches it, talks about it and now can bring his obsession to a new level with Fifa games. This game recreates the World cup last year for game play. All the countries, all the teams. They even include the stadiums where the games were played.Heres the problem. Since its just the World cup teams, there is far less variety than you find in regular Fifa games. It go...

Not only do I have a Cuisinart Coffeemaker, but after having a Bunn coffee maker for many years, we found that the carafe would leak and the coffee would spill out when we poured it. So, my husband went to Walmart and after looking around he found the Hamilton Beach Brew Station.It's different from any other coffee maker I ever had.  Usually you have a separate carafe that is located i...

I love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. As I bite into one and then get that initial creamy decadent chocolate taste, the taste is heavenly! Next comes the creamy peanut butter, tasting smooth and sweet. I like to eat around my Reese's. I eat the chocolate rim and enjoy that then I eat the middle. Most of the time the peanut butter and chocolate stick to my fingers and I lick it off. Ev...

I bought this programable coffee maker for my wife.  She loves her coffee. I wanted her to have a coffee maker that she could program and have fresh coffee waiting for her in the morning.  This model works great.  She sets it at night and just before she wakes up it is ready.  I love the feature on this model that will let you pause and grab a cup of coffee while i...
