Wrap Your Baby In Pure Luxury


Bamboo is a fascinating fabric. It is naturally anti-bacterial, hypo-allergenic, and thermal regulating. Plus, bamboo is eco-friendly. What better way to use bamboo than in baby products and baby apparel. The
BabyBam Collection carries just that - adorable bamboo baby products!

My favorite is the hooded bamboo towels from
BabyBam Collection. Out of all the baby towels in our house, we almost always use this towel. It is the softest towel that I have ever come across. I love wrapping my precious baby up in this towel after a refreshingly warm bath. She would stay in this towel all day if it was up to her! I love that their towels are not only generously sized, but they are also super absorbent than most of the baby towels that we own.

BabyBam Collection also carries really cute onesies and pajamas as well as really nice bath and body products for your little one. With such amazing baby products made from the finest eco-friendly materials at great prices, you will want to get everything that BabyBam Collection has to offer.

Pea Pod Bottles


I have an obsession with finding really cute glass baby bottles. I guess it's because most of the glass baby bottles that we own are kind of boring. I have just recently come across really adorable glass baby bottles by Sweet Pea Baby Supplies.

These bottles come in 9 oz bottles and 5 oz bottles which is great for newborns as well as older babies. I love that the bottles are shaped like an hour glass because it makes it really easy to hold for you and your baby. Sweet Pea Baby bottles are the exact opposite of boring because you can add a bottle cover to your baby's bottle for added fun as well as protection against breakage!

Sweet Pea Baby Supplies makes buying these bottles as easy as 1,2,3 because a 5 oz bottle is only $7.99 and a 9 oz bottle is only $8.99. You can buy the glass baby bottle covers in a variety of funky colors at only $6.99 for the 5 oz bottle and only $7.99 for the 9 oz bottle. I highly recommend these baby bottles and covers. They definitely make feeding time more fun for everyone. And at these great prices, you can buy a whole set without going broke.

Ippo The Hippo Bath Buddy


My daughter is the most wiggly baby that I have ever come across; therefore, you can only imagine what bath time would be like. Before we had Ippo The Hippo from Ecoleeko, my husband and I would have to hold down our little one with one hand and try to wash her with a small wash cloth in the other hand. This would cause a vicious cycle of the wash cloth falling, having to soap the cloth up again, and attempt to wash our daughter over and over again.


Hosted by RockYouPhotos.com

Once we started using Ippo The Hippo from Ecoleeko, we found bath time to be more pleasurable for everyone. My daughter loves to play with the bath mit. It's so soft and full of color! Plus, it makes washing my wiggle worm so much more easier because all you have to do is put the mit on, soap up, and voila - it does not fall into the water like little wash cloths!

Hosted by RockYouPhotos.com

All bath mittens from Ecoleeko are made from organic cotton french terry cloth, organic cotton thread, as well as hemp yarn for the face. So not only are the bath mittens great for your little ones delicate skin, but it is also great for the environment! There are a variety of adorable bath mittens to choose from like Ippo The Hippo, Solar Polar Cub, FlipEco The Dolphin, and Allyeco The Alligator.

Ecoleeko has other amazing eco-friendly products like really cute baby rattles, plush dolls, bean bag toys as well as really pretty recycled gift wraping for small and large toys. Check out www.ecoleeko.etsy.com to see all of these great eco-friendly products today.

However, once I put a pair of BabyLegs on her legs, she did not get anymore carpet burn. What a wonderful invention - keeping your child warm and fashionable while protecting their little legs and knees from the floor!

I really like that BabyLegs is running a promotion in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month. If you purchase a pair of the really cute Pink Ribbon BabyLegs, then 10 % of the proceeds will go to the Puget Sound Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Classy Kid On The Go....


I don't know about you, but I am always on the go; therefore, my daughter's diaper bag becomes my purse. It is always filled to the very tip top with her things as well as my things. So needless to say when there is something that can be replaced with a smaller version of that thing, I am totally in!

My daughter's diaper changing mat is fairly large and bulky, so to be able to pull it out of the diaper bag and replace it with Classy Kid's Green and Clean Changing Table Cover was such a blessing. These changing table covers are a decent size (18" wide by 22" long) when they are unfolded which is great because they will fit literally any changing table in public. But the thing that I love most is that they can be folded up into a little square allowing more room in your diaper bag. Plus, they are disposable as well as biodegradable meaning they will break down much faster than most plastics.

Hosted by RockYouPhotos.com

Classy Kid also makes Green and Clean Biodegradable Diaper Sacks. These are amazing because all you have to do is throw the dirty disposable diaper in the sack and voila :

1. the smell stays put,
2. its much more sanitary than throwing the diaper itself away in the trash,
3. its convenient,
4. cuts down on air borne disease,
5. and environmentally friendly

Hosted by RockYouPhotos.com

I love all of the products from Classy Kid. They have so many neat products that are great for your child's needs as well as the earth's needs. At such great prices, you'll want every single product that they make! You can get these fabulous products at www.Target.com, www.BabyCent
er.com, www.Amazon.com, TravelingWithKidz.com, or in Canada at Safety Superstore and TJ's Kids.


Saving The Earth One Clip At A Time


You can never have too many clips for your daughter's hair. After all, she is a girl, and girls love to shop and be pretty! Pammy Dawn has very stylish 100 % wool clips at amazing prices.

Hosted by RockYouPhotos.com

Pammy Dawn hand makes each clip; therefore, you know that you are getting high quality products. This company uses 100 % wool because it is much more durable, soft, and prettier than store bought felt. Plus, the edges will not fray!

Bumkins For Your Munchkins


Hosted by RockYouPhotos.com

It can be quite difficult to find the perfect cloth diaper for your precious baby. Buying different diapers here and there to figure out which ones work best can be a big drag. I have tried a bunch of different diapers, and have only found a few that suit my daughter's needs after a lot of trial and error. Some of them are just too saggy in the bottom while others leak after thirty minutes!

If you are like me, and you are tired of playing trial and error with your time and money, then you need to be introduced to the Bumkins all-in-one cloth diapers. These diapers are so amazing! First off, this is not your typical all-in-one cloth diaper. The inner layer of this diaper has six layers of 100% pure cotton fabric with airflow panels. The airflow panels cuts drying time in half; whereas, other all-in-one's take a million years to dry.

Hosted by RockYouPhotos.com

Secondly, these diapers have an awesome silky waterproof outer layer. Not only are the prints adorable, but they also stay brand new looking wash after wash. With so many fun and funky prints, you'll want to purchase them all! I have washed my daughter's Bumkins diapers at least half a dozen times now, and they are still perfect!

Hosted by RockYouPhotos.com

Thirdly, the velcro closures make cloth diapering so easy because they are very sturdy and take way less time to put on your wiggle worm than snap closures. I love that the velcro closures are now rounded instead of square. It definitely gives a modern look to them as well as a snug fit. The way that the laundry tabs are designed on the Bumkins diapers makes washing them so easy. The tabs create a handle to hold on to if you need to spray down the diaper. Plus, the diaper remains open during wash time for a cleaner diaper.

I also want to point out that the Bumkins diapers are generously sized without being bulky. I hate bulky cloth diapers! It makes putting onesies on your baby very difficult; however, with the Bumkins, you don't have to worry about bulk or forcing onesies on your child. These diapers provide ultimate comfort for your little one while protecting them against leaks.

I love love love the Bumkins diapers. You should definitely check them out for yourself because I can almost guarantee that you won't have to search around for anymore cloth diapers once you have tried them! Visit www.Bumkins.com today. They have fabulous diapers, diaper covers, diaper bags, bibs, gift sets, diaper bundles, and much much more.

On a side note, I want to let you know that Bumkins Finer Baby Products is running a wonderful promotion this month in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. Their Grande Diaper Bag is now on sale and includes five Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbons with each bag's purchase. These ribbons can be given to family and friends to show support and raise awareness of this deadly threat!

Wet Bags Full Of Color


I have fallen in love with the Monkey Foot Designs wetbags! They are made from beautiful high quality fabrics which means it will look amazing wash after wash. The inside lining is made from ProCare which is much thicker than most wetbag lining that I have seen; therefore, it is more durable.


I really like that the wetbags from Monkey Foot Designs has a snap on strap. You can snap the wetbag on to a stroller, a diaper bag, gym bag, or whatever floats your boat! They come in all kinds of sizes from small to extra large. And, if you don't see a size that matches your needs, all you have to do is ask for a custom order!

Our large wetbag is so spacious that I can fit three diapers, lots of wipes, bibs, as well as one of my daughter's outfits in it with room to spare. And I am very pleased to say that all of the wetness and smells stay where it should - inside the bag!


These wetbags are so versatile because you can use them for basically anything that is wet or damp like diapers, wipes, towels, bathing suits, clothes, etc. Plus, they are very easy to clean. All you have to do is throw it into your washer machine as well as your dryer and voila - ready to use all over again!

I love that these toys are not just toys. They have been given a personality; therefore, bringing life to each and every one of the toys. What an amazing idea - great for the environment as well as your child's imagination!

They use all different kinds of colors like lime, gray marble, coral, etc. My favorite is the multi-colored mobile because you get a variety of beautiful colors.

Plastic Bags As Baby Bibs?


Get ready for this...

You know how grocery stores, clothing stores, and basically any store will put your purchases into plastic bags? Or almost everything that we buy comes in plastic bags like bread and chips? Well, not only is that very wasteful, but it is also horrible for our environment seeing as plastic bags kill thousands of animals every year!

A company called The Pretty Bean came up a with a useful way to take plastic bags, and turn them into a brilliant product - a fused plastic baby bib! This is such a creative and fun idea. Who would have ever thought to take unwanted plastic, and turn it into something that every parent needs for baby's feeding time.

I love these bibs by The Pretty Bean because......

1. They are easy to clean and waterproof. All you have to do is take a wet hand towel and wipe it down. Simple as one, two, three!

2. They are generously portioned. When I put one of these bibs on my daughter, it actually covered her entire outfit; therefore, saving her outfits from food and juice stains.

3. They are reversible. It's like two bibs in one!

4. They are eco-friendly.

5. They are sturdy which means that they will last a long time.

6. They have velcro closures. I know with my little girl, she is always moving; therefore, anything that is easy to close like velcro automatically becomes number one in my books!

7. Best of all, they are very inexpensive, meaning you can stock up on them for your family, your friends, baby showers, co-workers, etc.

I definitely recommend The Pretty Bean's plastic baby bibs to anyone and everyone with a child. What better way to save our planet as well as your child's clothing? Check it out for yourself at www.mandolyn.etsy.com.





Spray, Wipe, Play


Hosted by RockYouPhotos.com

I really don't like chemicals, especially when it comes to my child. So, needless to say, when the time comes to wipe down my daughter's highchair, I usually just use water. This however as you can imagine creates an annoying issue of fruit flies - gross, I know!

Just recently, I tried out a new product from Dapple - the Toy Cleaner Spray. Once I sprayed in onto my daughter's highchair, I noticed that there were not any fruit flies swarming around it the next day! What a relief. Not only did it get rid of a nuisance, but the highchair smelled so fresh and natural.

I love that Dapple uses green technology and natural ingredients like baking soda, so everything that comes in contact with this cleaner becomes a healthy clean, not a harmful clean. This product is not antibacterial, so that your little one builds up a good immune system. It's like a soapy water clean without the work. I don't know about you, but that sounds good to me!

Dapple's Toy Cleaner Spray
is great for baby's toys as well as most surfaces in your house, car, etc. This is great because your baby will most likely touch anything and everything in their surroundings; therefore, you don't have to worry anymore about them eating chemicals ever again.

This amazing cleaner will be available around Thanksgiving at www.dapplebaby.com or diapers.com as well as in many baby boutiques nationwide. So, keep checking back periodically. And remember that it's easy as spray, wipe, play!

Recycled Accessories


I have a confession to make....

I have a fetish with collecting bottle cap tops! Not sure why, but I get satisfaction from keeping them instead of tossing them out. I guess somewhere deep down inside, I am waiting for inspiration to make something creative from them.

Just recently I have come across a company that got my wheels spinning.
Bittersweet Bootique is a company that makes really neat accessories. What caught my attention was the hair clips made from bottle cap tops! What a clever and useful idea. Who would have ever thought to take bottle cap tops and turn them into adorable hair clips?

Hosted by RockYouPhotos.com

Some of the hair clips have the original bottle cap top like the Smirnoff label, while other hair clips have other icons over the original label like the myspace logo. My favorite is the reduce, reuse, recycle symbol! The bottle caps are placed upon colored tulle which in my opinion totally completes the clip! Each bow is put onto an aligator clip; therefore, it is perfect in hair, on a bag, or on a shirt. So, not only are these adorable clips eco-friendly, but they are very versatile.

Hosted by RockYouPhotos.com

Bittersweet Bootique
also makes hemp chokers, bracelets, hand bags, blankets, etc. Plus, with every purchase you get free little fun gifts. Who doesn't love free fun gifts? So, to get very creative and funky accessories with free gifts, be sure to check out www.bittersweetboo.etsy.com.
