Back-to-School: PVC-Free School Supplies
Ahhhh. On the back of the great toxic scares of the past year (hello! toys from China and BPA) attention this Back-to-School season is on sourcing toxic-free products for our children.
I believe my heart skipped a beat when I discovered a one-stop guide for us parents. Behold: The PVC-Free School Gear Guide by The Center for Heath and Environmental Justice. It's a 4-page guide with listings of PVC-free school supplies by category, brand, and product-name. And, they list widely-accessible brands as well as those cuter more designy ones too. Download the free guide right here.
Check out our favorite PVC-free lunch box by Lands' End.

About this Column
The Hotspot originally started out as a monthly-or-so feature written by our favorite storytellers. Usually products or services were highlighted that tickled us. Over the past year delightful innovations and introductions in the maternity and parenting space have increased, and we feel we need a space to share our discoveries with you. Daily news stories on parenting also inspire us to communicate with you. As such, the Hotspot is now the Alpha Mom daily blog. Finally!
From time-to-time we will feature products that we like. Since there is no pay for play, we only feature products that excite us. However, we do want to know about new product and service introductions and innovations so feel free to drop us a note at contact@alphamom.com.
