Lead -- it's everywhere.

Fellow parents: Read this really good piece about lead in your child's toys (hint, it's not just in painted toys!). Scary stuff. And, to look up info on the toys you have in your home, visit HealthyToys.org. Yep, that block in the picture above was loaded with lead, recalled a few months ago and happened to be in my baby's nursery. Fortunately, he never played with it. Sigh.

Lead in toys is very serious and very sad. I can't imagine that my parents had to be so vigilant with watching everything that I ate, played with or wore to make sure it wouldn't hurt me.

Anyway, I make sure to visit www.leadtoyrecalls.com to stay on top of the latest recalled products.
