By now you've probably heard the shocking news about the risks of using polycarbonate baby bottles due to the leaching of Bisphenol-A from the bottles into the liquids that they contain. According to a 2007 study by Environment California Research and Policy Center, consuming Bisphenol-A increases cancer-cell growth, increases the risk of becoming diabetic or obese and can also have negative effects on the human reproductive system, and children are most susceptible to this substance's presence. (Adults should be careful too - clear plastic bottles for water contain the same substance.)

The good news is that good alternatives now do exist, like the brand Born Free. Celeb parents including Jessica Alba (who just gave birth to her first baby, Honor Marie Warren) are snatching up these Bisphenol-A-free bottles for their babies. Born Free feeding systems are now available at Whole Foods stores nationwide.



Update: We just discovered another new PES bottle by Green to Grow. These bottles are made with the same bisphenol-a-free PES material as the Born Free bottles, and they are packaged in 100% recycled packaging. And we love the cute apple design on the bottles!

Happy Late Birthday K.C.

I have had one class and am feeling a little overwhelmed.
But I think I got the rule of thirds down.

It's A Girl

It's A Girl

My sister in-law Rachel kindly did an ultra sound
on our little one that will be here in August and, yep, it's a Girl!
The little one was moving her little tush (she's got back like her mom)

We are so grateful.

He called me princess

My Dad
He liked it when we called him papa and how I miss him.
He has been gone 12 years and still sometimes not an hour can go by that I don't think about him. Now I am reminded of him when I look at Matthew's big blue eyes

New First Presidency Announced

Thomas S. Monson is the new president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. President Henry B. Eyring, 74, first counselor, and President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, 67, second counselor will be serving with him in the First Presidency.

Adorable Man

President Hinckley has been such an influence in my life. I love him and have been so touched by him . He has such a great personality, such great courage, the ability to love everyone, so personable, and intelligent. I will miss his bright light he brought when he walked in a room. I will always treasure his testimony.


I love this picture of him waving with his cane. During his funeral, as the family and associates drove to the cemetery, people lined the streets waving white hankies and canes.
