*****GIVEAWAY***** Prenatals Upgraded!

Remembering to take prenatals before, during, and after pregnancy is extremely hard! Sometimes I will take one right when I wake up in the morning, but then a few hours later forget that I took one.

Toy Trucks, The Recycled Way!

Toy trucks and toy cars are super fun at any age. I love to play cars and trucks with my 19 month old daughter. She gets so excited when you roll them across the floor. She will chase them and bring them back for hours!

Green Toys have just launched their holiday line of eco-friendly toys that includes a dump truck and a recycling truck. They are the perfect size for lots of imagination and creative play. I love that these trucks do not have metal axles. Actually, the entire toy is made from recycled plastic!

Comfy Cloth

I love using cloth nursing pads for so many reasons! One reason is that cloth pads create less waste. Another reason is that they are super comfy. Finally, my favorite reason is that cloth pads are much cuter than disposable!

Six EcoMama Lane hand creates adorable nursing pads. I can definitely tell that a lot of love and care goes into each one because the edging on each pad is perfect! Flannel material is used to make each pad which makes them super soft and comfortable. The size of each pad is about 4.5" in diameter, so you know that you are getting full coverage.

Six EcoMama Lane has a lot of bold and wild prints to choose from. This is great if you are a person who loves variety! But don't worry, if you have to have them all, I can assure you that you won't break the bank because they are really affordable at $5.00 for 6 pads!!!

Not only does Six EcoMama Lane make perfect nursing pads, but they also make other wonderful cloth products like really cute menstrual cloth pads, overnight cloth pads, reusable lunch baggies, and much more. Check it all out at www.ecomama6.com or www.ecomama6.etsy.com.

The Green Lunch Sack

REbaggingIt has the cutest bags! They take empty juice pouches, and turn them into stylish eco-friendly bags.

My personal favorite is the lunch sack. They are super easy to use with velcro closures, which is great for young children. Plus, they are lightweight, and wipe off messes really easily.

I think it is great that the bag along with the straps are very colorful and fun. It definitely makes you want to take it everywhere you go.

The lunch sacks are very strong; therefore, you don't have to worry about packing too much in them. That is a major plus for me since I don't like to pack lightly for anything!

REbaggingIt not only has great lunch sacks, but they also make other products from juice pouches such as dog leashes, book covers, small totes, and large totes. Their prices are super affordable, so be sure to check it out at www.REbaggingIT.etsy.com.

Newspaper Handbag

I am always trying to find THE perfect bag! Being a mother of two children, I need lots and lots of room in my purse for my kids things as well as my things. Ecoist has THE perfect bag!

The Daily Newspaper bag from Ecoist is a must have bag, esp. for moms. This bag is large, yet lightweight. Since it is made from recycled newspaper, you can basically wear this purse with any outfit because of all the different colors in it. I love that it is very strong and durable; therefore, you are definitely getting your monies worth because it will practically last forever!

A major plus to this bag is that it can easily be wiped down. That is so perfect for when little grungy hands decide to touch it!

Everywhere I go, I get compliments left and right. "Wow, did you make that?" or "That is a very cool bag!" It makes me feel good that I am carrying around a purse that is very eco-friendly as well as very chic.

Ecoist has all kinds of handbags and purses. They even have clutches that match The Daily Newspaper bag! I love that there are so many different styles and different materials used for each purse. Plus, no two purses / handbags are alike! See for yourself at www.ecoist.com.

The No Slip Slippers

Don't you just hate it when your slippers slide around on you? Don't you also hate that slippers make your feet sweat?

Sun Shadow Slippers are the perfect solution! These slippers do not slide around on your feet. They are made from stretchy natural fibers; therefore, they grip your feet in a very comfortable way. This is awesome for the wiggly baby and toddler. Plus, the natural fibers also allow the feet to breathe; therefore, eliminating sweat!

My daughter normally takes off her shoes and socks right after we put them on her. This can be quite frustrating in the winter when her toes are ice cold. But now that we have the most comfy cozy slippers from Sun Shadow Slippers, she does not even attempt to take them off. Yay - her toes will never be cold again!

The slippers from Sun Shadow are quite unique in that they use prints inspired by nature. They have cute prints from frogs to butterflies, turtles, etc. The inside of these slippers are 100% pure wool felt (extremely cozy!). The dye that is used to create the fun prints is low toxic and sun reactive which means it is safe on our environment.

I love that Sun Shadow Slippers are made very well. My daughter's slippers will definitely be handed down to my son, and probably make it through another child (if we decide to have another!).

Get these fabulous slippers at www.sunshadowslippers.etsy.com. The whole family deserves to walk in the clouds with wonderful slippers!

Arts And Crafts With An Eco Flare

I bet you get lots of junk mail just like me! What do you do with your junk mail? I used to throw mine out, but now I pretty much save everything. This is because of The Paper Bead Roller.

The Paper Bead Roller is a utensil that lets you easily wrap a piece of paper around a metal stick to create a fabulous bead. Just insert the tip of the paper strip into the slot, begin rolling, and voila - a paper bead. I love this thing! Rolling paper beads by hand causes cramps in your hands. Not to mention, the pain from trying to roll the bead tight. Using The Paper Bead Roller is so easy to use, and there is not any pain!

I get so many magazines, newspapers, and junk mail that it is not even funny. So instead of throwing them out, I can use them to make jewelry, baskets, pens, etc. The possibilities are endless with this wonderful invention.

The roller kit comes in two sizes which is great because you can make beads with larger holes for larger string, or make beads with smaller holes for smaller string. The Paper Bead Roller also comes with different patterns to make different style beads. My personal favorite is the hourglass template - so cute!

Visit www.paperbeadgirl.com to get your very own Paper Bead Roller. Start getting crafty while being eco-friendly!

Snacks With A Zing

Finding healthy snacks for little ones can be quite challenging. For me, I feel like I am always purchasing the same snacks over and over again. My daughters on-the-go snack staple is always raisins and crackers. Though it seems like she never gets tired of them, I get tired of watching her eat them.

Recently we got the opportunity to try freeze dried fruit snacks from Funky Monkey Snacks. Freeze dried fruit. What is that? It is a process in which fruit is dried by freezing. By using this process, the fruit keeps all of the nutrients and flavors unlike dried fruit or other fruit snacks. Plus, these snacks do not have any preservatives, colors, flavors, or added sugars.

At first I was a little hesitant because it just does not sound or even look all that appetizing. And everyone knows that kids only really eat things that are super delicious! Despite my concern, we ate them, and ate them, and ate them......

Now let me tell you that my first thoughts quickly vanished when my daughter scarfed down the entire package of Bananamon! Wow, a NEW and healthy snack that she loves. Hurray, now I can buy a bunch of different staple snacks for her on-the-go needs! Funky Monkey Snacks come in scrumptious flavors such as Bananamon, Carnival Mix, Jivealime, and Purple Funk.

While my little one was speedily eating the Bananamon (organic bananas with cinnamon) Funky Monkey Snacks, I decided to try the Purple Funk (organic bananas with acai). After my first bite, I was even hooked on these snacks. It was like a firework went off in my mouth, and my tastebuds decided to do a little jig! These snacks are so amazing that I want to keep eating them too!!!

To get a healthy and yummy snack for you and your little ones, go to www.funkymonkeysnacks.com. Add a little zing to your eating habits!

"The Earth Is Our Playground. Our Mission Is To Preserve It."

This is the philosophy of the clothing company Mission Playground. What an awesome statement! Don't you just wish this was everyone's philosophy? I do!!!

Mission Playground is an amazing company that has 100 % organic as well as recycled fabric clothing for men, women, and children.

The Willow Dress is outstanding. Since it is a wrap dress, it is very comfortable. The whimsical design on the bottom creates a very contemporary feel to this eco-friendly dress.

When I wore this dress to a party, almost everyone commented on how cute it looked on me!!! My sister-in-law actually asked me if it was okay to purchase one herself! Another person said that I look stunning and slim! Now, if one article of clothing gets that much response, think of how many compliments one would get wearing other garments from Mission Playground.

A great aspect of Mission Playground is that they give 1 % of sales to non-profit organizations that share the same passion for the earth that they do. That is awesome....be fashionable and comfortable in their clothes while supporting a great cause!

Extra, Extra, Wear All About It

Newspapers are great for reading up on current events. They are also great for lighting up grills, and stuffing inside of postage boxes. But one use in particular makes a bold yet cute fashion statement. This use comes from Just Liv.

Just Liv makes adorable headbands from old newspapers! This is perfect because newspaper basically goes with everything from red to black to brown, etc. Each headband is constructed so beautifully with three little rose like pieces.

The headband fits and looks so perfect on me as well as my 17 month old little girl! Wow, a headband that I can actually share with my daughter and it looks great on both of us - that is hard to come by!!!

Luxurious, lightweight, serene. Wrap yourself in pure TranquiliT...

TranquiliT is a company that carries eco-luxe lifestyle wear. So, you might be thinking is it possible to have eco-friendly and luxurious all in one? Absolutely!

TranquiliT uses bamboo as well as organic cotton fibers which make super soft apparel. Bamboo is naturally soft and silky and wicks moisture. Organic cotton is lightweight and feels wonderful. Bamboo and organic cotton fibers create pure TranquiliT!

Plus, the clothes were made with a busy lifestyle in mind - meaning you can wear these clothes for yoga, and then turn around and go to a nice restaurant without changing into something else. Yes, workout apparel by day, sexy yet comfortable by night!

The cardi shawl is among many of my favorites. You can wear it as a cardigan, or wear as a sexy shirt with a low back. It is extremely easy to turn this must have piece into basically anything that you want. The raw edges make this piece look and feel fabulous.

Paper... Beads

When you think of paper, what comes to mind? Trees, writing, scrapbooking, paper airplanes, and the list goes on. . . . .

What about beads? Did that cross your mind? Crazy! What an ingenious idea. It never crossed my mind that beads could be made from paper until now. EnvirO Mental makes paper beads that are amazing! Paper beads!? They look just like expensive beads from a bracelet in a nice department store.

EnvirO Mental takes left over paper such as scrapbooking paper, magazine articles, or newspaper articles and turns them into beautiful beads. Then they string them with beads from other projects to form a gorgeous eco-friendly bracelet. Best of all, these bracelets cost only $8! Now that is a steal - eco-friendly, beautiful, and looks like the real thing!

EnvirO Mental also makes other neat items from recycled materials as well like their Treasure Bags. These cute drawstring bags are made from recycled t-shirts. They are perfect for diaper bags, purses, gym bags, etc. I like to put my keys in them so that I can find them really easily in our overstuffed diaper bag!

They also make recycled tee shirt scarves / necklaces, tote bags, t-shirt totes, bangles, etc. Be sure to check out all of the wonderful and eco-friendly products that they have to offer at www.enviromental.etsy.com.

Cardboard Fantasy

I am convinced that kids don't need toys! I know my children love to play with things around the house other than their toys. For instance, my daughter would rather play with toilet paper, remotes, pens, tupperware, and BOXES. Notice how boxes is all uppercase?

Ah yes, cardboard boxes! Give a child a cardboard box, and they will go to town for hours. Well, what if you give a child toys that are made out of cardboard? Not only is it very eco-friendly, but it leaves lots of imagination for your little one(s)!

Cardboard Design is a company that makes cardboard toys. They have dollhouses, rockets, playhouses, etc. I love that the cardboard toys are left blank. Kids can paint on it, draw on it, color on it, or do whatever they like to it.

Cardboard Design creates their product with the ease of assembly. Now I am a very impatient person, so when it comes to instructions, I basically throw them aside and begin the project full throttle. Putting together the cardboard playhouse was extremely easy; however, my daughter made it extremely tough. From the moment that I pulled all of the pieces out of the box, she basically dove head first for each piece!

She absolutely loves the Cardboard Design playhouse. She will go inside, outside, inside, outside all day long. It is so cute to see her so excited about such an eco-friendly toy that will keep her occupied for hours at a time!

Cardboard Design also has very neat tables, chairs, vases, etc. To see all that they have to offer, go to www.cardboardesign.com.

Sweet Dreams Baby + GIVEAWAY

If you are like most people, then you love to sleep.....

Do you get enough sleep? I know I don't! It is quite difficult to stay up all day with an energizer toddler during the day, and then try to get a few cat naps in during the night with an infant between feedings. Now I am not complaining - I love my life and would not change anything about it; however, I will do anything and everything to make sure that my little cat naps turn into sweet dreams.

DreamSacks is a company that allows me to have sweet dreams. With their luxurious bamboo wear, I feel like I am wearing practically nothing! The clothes are super soft and very lightweight which allows my skin to breathe. If I wear anything else other than DreamSacks clothes, then I get too hot during the night. Therefore, I constantly battle between being hot and cold from kicking the blankets off and then pulling them back on - very frustrating; hence, the lack of sleep.

I love that the DreamSacks clothes are so comfortable. I pretty much want to wear them all the time whether I am sleeping, working out, lounging around, etc.

Not only does DreamSacks offer great clothes for men, women, expecting mothers, and children, but they also offer travel blankets and accessories, bedding, and bath robes and towels. I will bet a lot of money that if I sleep so well in their clothes, that I would basically hibernate all year round if I was to sleep in their bedding!

Organic Muslin

Remember the wonderful muslin swaddling blankets from aden + anais in an earlier post? Well......guess what? They have added an organic line of muslin swaddling blankets - just when I thought that these blankets couldn't get any better!!!

Muslin is already a natural fiber; however, organic muslin is like the top of the line fiber! I love knowing that my babies are safe from harmful chemicals and pesticides when they are wrapped in the aden + anais blankets (great for sensitive skin!).

Besides being healthy for your baby as well as for the earth, you can rest assured that when you swaddle your precious bundles of joy in these babies that they will not over heat. Aden + anais created these blankets so that they are the perfect temperature in the summer as well as the winter. Yay! No more buying separate blankets for each season!

Aden + anais created a fabulous product that will last for years to come. When my daughter was younger, I would swaddle her with the muslin blankets. Now that she is older, she carries them around everywhere she goes - the house, the car, church, etc. She absolutely loves them, and gets mad if you try and take them away from her! The more she loves on them and they get washed, the more softer they become.

Another great aspect of these blankets is that they have many uses. You can use them to swaddle your baby, as a burp cloth, a play blanket, a bassinet cover, a carrier cover, a stroller cover, a play pen cover, or whatever your mind can imagine. Wow, now that's a super deal - eco-friendly, lasts a long time, and has multiple uses!

Too see for yourself, go to www.adenandanais.com. It is definitely worth $34 to me to have a beautiful eco-friendly blanket that will last far beyond multiple children! Not only do they have muslin swaddling blankets, but they also have wash cloths, sleeping bags, and towels.

Scrabble Anyone?

Scrabble is a fun game with loads of possibility by creating different words from other letters already being used. Well, what about using the scrabble tiles in ways other than creating words? Like, um, lets see a pendant?

IM Creations does just that. They take individual scrabble tiles, and turn them into beautiful pendants for necklaces. What a cool idea! Scrabble tiles are just the right size for a necklace - not too small and not too large. Wearing a Scrabble tile masked by amazing art, makes me smile! I know that I am wearing a wonderfully made piece of jewelry while making an eco-fabulous fashion statement.

Each tile has an image that is decoupaged onto the tile, and then it is covered with a non-toxic glaze. IM Creations has so many unique and stylish pendants to choose from that I guarantee that you will love more than just one!

Just like the game Scrabble, the pendants from IM Creations have many possibilities as well. You can custom order a pendant with a baby photo, wedding photo, graduation photo, etc. Plus, you can give them as gifts for bridal parties, birthday parties, baby showers, etc. Or you could just buy a million different pendants to go with each one of your outfits! I'd say that $6.50 is a steal for these beauties!

Not only does IM Creations make beautiful Scrabble pendants, but they also make gorgeous bamboo necklaces as well. When I wear the bamboo necklace, I practically forget that I am even wearing jewelry because it is very lightweight. I can't stand jewelry that is heavy, especially when I am lugging around kids and belongings all day!

Like the Scrabble pendants, the bamboo necklaces are created with high quality craftsmanship. When you buy from IM Creations, you are getting the works - super cute jewelry with an eco-friendly flare!

Check out IM Creations at www.imcreations.etsy.com. See all of the beautiful creations that they have to offer!

Become An Organic Diva....

With Down Home Diva's clothing and accessories! Each garment of clothing as well as each accessory has been recreated into a work of art. Down Home Diva takes dull shirts, skirts, bags, etc., and puts remarkable talent and creativity into them with beautifully designed appliques from Moda batik fabrics.

The organic skirts from Down Home Diva are super fun and very versatile. I was able to wear the skirt as a tube top, a skirt, and over a pair of pants. You can also wear the skirt long, or roll up the waistband to make it a mini skirt. It definitely spruces up any wardrobe because it makes a wonderful layering piece - great for summer or fall!

Down Home Diva creates each applique where the more the garment is worn, the more the applique has character. That is wonderful! Most clothes are worn and over time loses color and shape; however, with Down Home Diva's clothes, the more you wear them the better they become!

Best of all, the pricing on each item is amazing! You could buy an entire outfit with accessories, and not even put a dent in your wallet. I'd say that is outstanding for this economy!

To become an organic diva, go to www.downhomediva.etsy.com. Check out all of the beautiful and creative clothes and accessories that they have to offer!

Happy Feet

I just love baby booties! They are so easy to get on and off of your little one's feet. Plus, they are super fun. However, sometimes the prices on baby booties can be a little too much, especially in this economy!

Looking for fun and fashionable baby booties for half the price? Well, you are in luck! I have found the most adorable and affordable baby booties at Happy Solez. Not only are they uber cute and half the price of other baby booties, but they are also lined with ORGANIC fabric. Wow, now that's a crazy deal - awesome baby booties, organic, and half the price!

Happy Solez has so many different prints to choose from like pretty flowers or character prints. My favorite is the brown corduroy baby booties. They go with almost everything, and they are really soft.

The inside of Happy Solez's 100 Collection shoes are lined with organic fabric. This is a wonderful idea because feet sweat so much that there needs to be a lightweight breathable fabric around them. Plus, it's great to know that when my kids wear them, their feet are not soaking up any harmful chemicals due to the organic fabric!

I am really fond of the swirly stitching on Happy Solez's baby booties. It definitely adds a unique flare to them that sets them apart from other baby booties. I am all about products that are different from others, especially if they are very well made like Happy Solez!

To see all of Happy Solez's fantastic baby booties, go to www.happysolez.etsy.com. Let your baby have happy feet today!

Nurser Baggies Be Gone!!!

I cringe when it comes to plastic baggies - whether that's snack baggies, storage baggies, nurser baggies, etc. I hate that they are used once and then thrown away! So, if you are a breastfeeding mother needing to freeze your breast milk, then what should you use? Well, I have the perfect solution for you!

Sensible Lines is a breast milk freezing system that uses Milk Trays. Huh? What are Milk Trays? They are trays that hold eight individual one-ounce servings of breast milk. Just pour your expressed breast milk into each slot in the tray, put the lid on, and place in the freezer.

This system is wonderful for so many reasons! First and foremost you can ditch the nurser baggies. Once the breast milk is frozen, just transfer the milk sticks to a freezer bag, wash the tray, and voila - use them over and over again. Plus, no more spending money on expensive plastic baggies called "nurser baggies".

Secondly, the plastic used for the Milk Trays are Bisphenol-A, Phthalate and dye free. Yay! No worrying about harmful chemicals being released into your breast milk! Sensible Lines uses the safest medical-grade plastic.

Thirdly, your breast milk will not go to waste. You can make your baby's bottle the way you want. Add as many or as few milk sticks that you need instead of thawing out a full baggie of breast milk. Sensible Lines created the Milk Trays in a way that each frozen stick of breast milk will fit in any size baby bottle opening. Very economical!

Sensible Lines was created by moms for moms. Therefore, you know that you are getting a high quality product. I absolutely love this system! It is so convenient and easy to use. Best of all, you will save money while reducing breast milk waste as well as plastic baggie waste! Check it out for yourself at www.sensiblelines.com.
