Moms panicked during the BPA scare and some of us have even opted to feed our wee ones primarily organic diets. Once the wholesome food is prepped, is there a safe way to serve it?

Keeping Mealtime Manageable: Top Tableware
Mealtime with munchkins may not be easy, but it can be a whole lot of fun! Moms use clever tricks to make breakfast, lunch or dinner a success and one that has worked for me is to keep the surroundings interesting.
Toddler tableware may sound like an oxymoron, but with these adorable plates, bowls and silverware, your tot may be asking to sit at the table, rather than run the other way.
Good Things Come in Small Packages: Beverages and Placesettings
As the saying goes, "Good things come in small packages." I personally believe GREAT things come in small packages, which is why I love the idea of a "small" baby shower. From toothpick skewered veggies to tiny cupcakes, you won't have to serve your guests on platters but tapas sized plates instead!

Baby Wellness: Lead Poisoning
When I think of lead poisoning, I think of old paint peeling off the wall. It can actually be a silent enemy. Just yesterday, a family in Utah discovered that their little girl has been affected by lead — not from sucking on a recalled toy, but from plates in their kitchen.
Kids Smile Place Setting: Love It Or Hate It?
Are you guys a fan of special servingware for children? Little ones have little mouths and hands, and can sometimes be picky eaters, so cute plates, cups, and utensils might encourage them to eat more. However, I absolutely hate this kids smile place setting by Mono.

Personalized Plates for Your Wee Ride
My playground is filled with hundreds of strollers on a normal day. When the weather is nice, they triple in number and more than a handful of them are the same one I push around. I can't tell you how many times I have walked up to a stroller, reached into the diaper bag and panicked when my wallet wasn't there, only to realize that my buggy was the one next to it.
Lil Find: Melamine Divided Plate
If you're lucky enough to have a child who cleans his plate, why argue with the fact that he likes his food separated?
