Carthage.Co Stoneware Company

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.



My favorite dishes to use in my kitchen are my stoneware! They look great and they bake well!

So if you are on the hunt for stoneware, let me introduce you to one of my new favorite stoneware companies: Carthage.Co! They offer exquisite, ethically-sourced pottery made by Tunisian artisans, which is brought directly to your table. There’s no shipping of raw materials to factories to make the same mainstream product over and over again. Carthage.Co works as a direct to consumer channel so you get the same high-end products at a fraction of a retail store’s price.

Stoneware pieces include plates, bowls, bakeware, serverware and drinkware that come in several collections highlighting North African beauty in a modern way. These collections not only inspire a uniquely curated tabletop aesthetic, they empower the Tunisian artisans who make each piece and keep the tradition of their rich history in ceramics alive. Additionally, Carthage.Co products are microwave and dishwasher safe and lead free.


I absolutely love my two new pieces of stoneware from Carthage.Co. I am a huge fan of stoneware and these have really impressed me! I love that they are lead-free and made personally by Tunisian artists!


I used the cake pan for the first time on Sunday for my daughter's birthday cake. The cake cooked perfectly and came out of the pan nicely! The cake pan was easy to wash and looked great - all at the same time!


I also love the deep red and texture of the red serving bowl. It is great for salads, vegetables or whatever else you like to serve for dinner!

Looking for new stoneware for your kitchen? Look no further than Carthage.Co!

You can purchase all Carthage.Co stoneware from their website.

Stock Your Cupboards with Brinware!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Over the last few years we have tried making the switch from plastic storage ware and dishes to more eco-friendly and safer dishware like glassware. The one downfall to glassware is that it is easily broken, especially with 3 small children and a clumsy mother. So, I am always on the lookout for quality glassware that is safe for my children and, if at all possible, not easily broken!

But all my glass dishware dreams came true when I was introduced to Brinware. This company is serving up an easy way to be eco-friendly at breakfast, lunch and dinner with Brinware pretty-as-a-picture dishes, mats and bibs. Picky eaters will scoop up every pea or macaroni to see the charming graphic hiding underneath.


Kids tableware has traditionally been plastic bowls and plates but Brinware adds a bit of grown-up glamour with beautiful scenes of a garden party or aquatic life printed onto the back of tempered glass dishes. Yes, glass!

With Brinware, I have no fear of BPA, lead or phthalates. And the tempered glass is cushioned from slips or falls with a colorful silicone sleeve. The results are enchanting and durable. Microwave, pop in the dishwasher and use as you would any tableware! For 2016 choose Barn Yard, Garden Party or School of Fish Dish Sets – each packaged in gift-giving boxes.


So what is tempered glass? This style of dish glass is “physically and thermally stronger than regular glass because of the rapid heating and cooling process it endures during manufacturing. The plates are rolled through an oven, which heats it to more than 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. The heated glass is rapidly cooled causing the surface of the glass to contract faster than the center giving it added strength.”

We received several super cute and durable kitchen items including the Barn Yard two pack of plates shown above! With a moo moo here and an oink oink there, Old McDonald and the Mrs. would love to serve these to the kids! Plate come with red and orange silicone sleeves.


Constructed from tempered glass with a silicone cover to provide an extra-durable layer of protection and slip resistance, these BPA- and phthalate-free dishes offer an alternative to plastic plates—with awesome whimsical scene to boot. Kids will always finish their food just to see the captivating graphics beneath! Tempered glass dish measures 7.5" and comes with removable silicone cover. Both are microwave and dishwasher safe.

We also received the ABC & 123 Placemat Sets in blue and green. They are so easy to clean and educational. My children love them at the dinner table and I love that it saves many a mess!


Brinware Placemats are made of food grade silicone and are a great addition to the Brinware Plate set. Each placement is easy to clean, won’t retain odors and easily rolls up so it is good for home or on-the-go. When on a picnic or at a restaurant, spread the mat and use as a plate! Sized a mighty 11” x 15”, this set is sold with 2 placemats. When eating is done, feel free to pop in the dishwasher.


And my favorite for the Back to School season may be the Multi-Purpose Containers from Brinware. They are so perfect for using in your child's lunchbox without worry of it breaking and without using plastic dishware! Plus, they are so cute!


Brinware’s food storage containers are made of borosilicate glass and FDA approved silicone. The cute cut out patterns in the silicone allows anyone and to see through the glass and what is awaiting inside! The silicone is slip resistant and grips to surfaces. Great for sandwiches, snacks and more!


Each container can hold 2 1/4 cups or 550 ml or 18.6 oz. Available in Garden Party and School of Fish designs.

Buy It:

You can purchase the Brinware line at the company’s website, www.Brinware.com, or at select retailers.

Kangovou Stainless Steel Dishware

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.


Your child's dishware....

It might not be something you think of often. You probably don't think about what is in the materials that your children are eating out of or with. You probably don't think about if toxic elements are leaching into your child's food and, thus their bodies. 

I know I didn't think about it much....

Until NOW!

Until I was introduced to Kangovou and their mission to create high quality food-grade stainless steel dishware products that are BPA, PVC, phthlatate, lead, and melamine free. All of Kangovou's dishware products are made from quality food-grade, Type 304, 18/8 stainless steel.

Why is this important?

Because you want the surface your food touches to be BPA free, naturally anti-bacterial and to not leach chemicals. Kangovou food-grade stainless steel provides these benefits and is also light weight, durable, does not rust, cleans easily with soap and water, and is top shelf dishwasher safe.


Kangovou outer jackets are also BPA, PVC, and phthalate free. Kangovou uses materials which are free of bisphenol-A, polyvinyl chloride and the chemical phthalate.

Bisphenol-A and polyvinyl chloride are plastics used for making PVC pipes, DVDs and CD’s. Phthalate is a chemical which helps plastics bend.


I now think about these toxic chemicals in not only in my storage containers but in my children's dishware! It is definitely a good idea to keep these types of plastics and chemicals away from our food so I love that Kangovou doesn’t use them in their products!

On top of being really safe for my children, the pastel colors of the dishware are so pretty!! I love the Iced Mint color we received of the dishware set!


It includes:
  • 18/8 food grade stainless steel divided plate
    • Keeps foods separated and provides a built in space for condiments
  • 18/8 food grade stainless steel flat plate
    • Use for larger food items such as a sandwich or a slice of pizza
  • 18/8 food grade stainless steel cereal bowl
    • Use for cold or hot cereal or even soup
  • 18/8 food grade stainless steel snack bowl
    • Use for crackers, sliced fruit, yogurt--the choices are endless
  • 18/8 food grade drinking cup
    • Includes pop-up drinking straw
    • Snap on lid to prevent leaks
    • Mixer to avoid clumps when adding food powders to drinks
    • Intended for children 3+ years of age
  • Protective jackets which are FREE of BPA, PVC and phthalates

My youngest LOVES the drinking cup and the fun straw to drink with! I love that the lid snaps on and doesn't leak!


My two oldest beg to use the plates and bowls - I love that they come with lids. This makes it great for traveling, snack time in the car and leftovers! And the divided plate is perfect for my son's lunchbox!


Overall, I love the mission of Kangovou and their safe, great products! I am definitely conscious now of what my children are eating out of and on and I will never look at children's dishware the same again!

Buy It:

You can purchase the full Kangovou dishware set (in four colors) for $69.99 from the Kangovou website.

Laboos Bamboo Dining Sets

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.


I am all about making eating time fun! But I also want to make sure I am feeding my children healthy food but that also means feeding them on safe dining wear.

I recently found dining sets that not only make my children happy when they are eating but are safe for their food to be on.


Laboos dishes are made of 100% natural bamboo that’s not only designed to look cute, it is also very durable and safe!

The name of the brand "LaBoos" is a made up of the Latin word "la" meaning "the" and the English word "boos" short for bamboo.

Inspired by a trip to Japan-Kyushu, Laboos creators were motivated to look for a more natural, healthier and beautiful way to experience a greener lifestyle.


With Laboos you can experience a more natural, healthier and beautiful way to a greener lifestyle!

I received the super cute Kitty Dining Set and Bear Dining Set for my two youngest. I love the two compartments for their smaller portions and the spoon and fork were so cute with the little bear and kitty on them.

My older son got the Hippo Dining Set and he loves it because it has one big compartment for his larger portions!


My children instantly LOVED these different designs and ask to use them for every meal!

Each set is 100% all-natural bamboo, dye and chemical-free and lightweight, strong and long-lasting

If you want to make eating more fun, more safe and more durable, then make sure to check out these Laboos dining sets! My family is loving them!
