Making Meal Time a Bit More Blissful!

There are 2 products that I’ve purchased lately for Aidan's meal time that I adore. I bought the Dandelion Re-useable bowls and plates to replace Aidan’s very expensive cherry wood bowl that had cracked and was starting to mold (yuck!). I wanted to find a replacement that was not as expensive, easier to clean, BPA free, and easy on the environment. That’s a tall order, but the Dandelion bowls and plates have really delivered. They are super cute, and they are made from corn (a natural, sustainable resource), so they are biodegradable. The only down side is that they do have to be hand washed, but they are easy to hand wash. Although they are super lightweight, they seem to be very durable. I cannot rave about these little bowls enough!

Another welcome addition to our dinner table has been the Crocodile Creek placemats. These adorable little PVC free placemats come in 36 different designs, but I purchased the World Map, Vehicles, Wild World ABC, and USA Map placemat. While I’ve only been using these placemats a week, they have been a great, but fun learning tool at mealtimes. Aidan already has learned from the USA map placemat that he lives in Texas (“with the cowboys”), and that Grammy lives in “Hampshire by the moose.”  I'm so impressed by what's he's learned in a week that I can't wait to see what else is to come!
