The bottom line for me: If studies even hint at the idea that BPA in low doses may cause problems during such a critical stage in a child's MY CHILD'S development, why use it? Err on the side of caution and use non-BPA baby bottles from a company like Born Free. That's an easy choice for me, real easy.
But instead of arguing either side, I'll just post my findings (with links to the sources) and leave it as that.
As I said before I'm not too concerned either way, I will err on the side of caution. I'm taking my BPA bottles back to the store for the less toxic type.
Our junk drawers were outta control. Since we moved in to our new house the 4 drawers on the island in the kitchen were a mess. Sarah and I went drawer organizer shopping only to find them to be a little overpriced.
I've been hammering on this pretty hard lately in my personal life and blog. I'm on a quest to live as naturally and organic and chemical free as possible. So I decided to do some very light research this morning and here is what I found.

Supporting the Tower Grove Farmers' Market is the smart thing to do. Why? Cause it's the right thing to do, AND you get a t-shirt. Beat that! It starts up again this season: Every Saturday from May 10 through October 25, 8:30am until 12:30pm.
As you may or may not know, I work from home. I've made some efforts to make my workplace more "green-friendly" so I thought I'd list a few here to note my progress. If you have any other ideas I'd definitely be up for 'em.
I picked up an excellent book a few days ago. It's titled "Green, Greener, Greenest" by Lori Bongiorno. It's a practical guide to making eco-smart choices a part of your life. Lori worked for BusinessWeek and has written for The Green Guide (among other magazines) so her writing style is spot-on.

That's it. I'm "going green". Frankly, I'm a bit mad / pissed / fed up (call it what you want) with the amount of crap we unknowingly ingest and inhale through our food, household cleaners and other materiels on a day-to-day basis. I've been doing some reading, a lot of reading and my findings have been quite sobering.
