Take advantage of this opportunity!
Did you know that the Babies R Us at 8 mile and Haggerty is taking back all of their bottles with BPA? The only requirement is that the bottles must have all of the pieces. You don't need a receipt. For example, I took back a playtex bottle and bought a Bornfree bottle. I got $4.00 off of the Bornfree with the exchange of my old bottle. It's free $$$$$!
I have over twenty bottles available for return if you are interested. (I already took back the ones I needed.) The offer is only good until August 10th!
Email me at daniellekovachevich@hotmail.com if you need bottles for return.
Why you should buy BPA Free products:
Bisphenol A in your body:
How it got there and how to minimize your exposure:
The common plastic additive bisphenol A has been getting a lot of press lately. It's a hormone disruptor that can be found in almost everybody, and animal studies have linked it to breast and prostate cancer, and infertility. Knowing all that won't help you avoid the chemical, but we've got some information here that might. Knowing how you're exposed is among the best ways to minimize further exposure.
How do you get rid of it?
Unfortunately, BPA is so widely used and manufactured that you're not likely to eliminate it from your system altogether. There are some steps you can take to minimize your exposure, though:
When possible, and especially if you’re pregnant and when feeding a young child, limit the amount of canned food in your diet.
Avoid using old or scratched polycarbonate bottles. If you're in the market for a new water bottle, look for stainless steel water bottles that do not have a plastic liner.
Don't use plastic containers to heat food in the microwave. Opt for ceramic, glass, or other microwavable dishware.
Soft or cloudy-colored plastic does not contain BPA.
If you're formula feeding your infant, consider using powdered formulas packaged in non-steel cans. Also, choose baby bottles made from glass or plastics that don't leach BPA (like polypropylene or polyethylene).
PS) IMPORTANT: Babies R Us now labels their products BPAF on the price tag which indicates BPA Free! They carry a lot of BPAF sippy cups, plates, silverware, and bottles now.

Question of the week!
When buying your family couch/furniture, what qualities do you look for? :) Fabrics? Color? Durability?
We need your ideas!
Any good ideas for our holiday craft meeting? We do have one idea but are willing to hear other member's suggestions. Once we get a few ideas, we will take a vote. This is our current idea:
A photography workshop given by a very talented photographer. It would be fun to edit some pics of the kids just in time for holiday gifts! Here is a quick overview:
"Do you want to learn about basic photography without taking a class?
Would you like to know what all those other buttons on your camera are for?
Learn what your point and shoot or SLR camera is capable of?
Would you like to know about basic tips and strategies to take better pictures of your family and events? The workshop will talk about what it takes to take better pictures, basic camera knowledge, simple and easy (and free!) editing software, what's the next step you need to take to move to the next level of photography. Bring your cameras and we will have a casual workshop setting that will include handouts, discussion and we will take lots of pictures! We will load up the pictures and actually edit right on site!"
We could do this for a different meeting if someone can come up with a crafty project. The craft needs to meet the following guidelines:
1. Practical
2. Affordable
3. Somewhat easy to do with a large group
4. If you suggest a craft, would you be willing to demo. it to the group?
Once we get a few suggestions, we will survey the group and everyone can vote. If we do not get any suggestions, we will do the photography.
Thanks!
