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!

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!
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!

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!
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!
