As much as I love the look of flowers, I wish they weren’t quite so expensive and lasted a little bit longer.  I received a few beautiful bouquets when I was in the hospital for the birth of my daughter.  I was in the hospital for 4 days, and I don’t think either of the bouquets made it home with us, as they had already withered.   The Baby Bunch has come up with an amazing solution to this problem.  Rather than giving new parents a bouquet of flowers, you can give them a bouquet of clothing – huh – you ask?!?  It’s the same idea as a diaper cake, but in the shape of a bouquet of flowers, and rather than diapers, onesies and socks are the gift.

I received a medium sized Baby Bunch bouquet in blue for review.  My best friend growing up was due for a baby boy any day, so I knew this would be the prefect gift for her.  She is a “girly girl” and loves things like flowers.  I wanted to give this gift to her as soon as possible, but she was sick and really needed to take things easy so the bouquet had to wait.  If I had a real bouquet of flowers, my husband and I would have had to enjoy them at our house, but thankfully, these beautiful roses didn’t shrivel up.

The bouquet includes:

• two blue onesies
• one blue t-shirt
• one blue bib
• one blue hat
• blue pair of socks
• white pair of socks

Each item is rolled up really tight to look like a rose, and there are fabric roses and fake leaves surrounding the bouquet which makes it look “real” and very professionally made.  The flowers came in a very nice box with a clear plastic cover, which made for easy presentation as a gift.  The other option is to take the bouquet out of the box and put it in a vase.

There are so many options at The Baby Bunch.  They have bouquets in pink, blue, yellow, white and apricot for the organic types.  They also have cupcake onesies (the onesies are all shaped and put into a box to look like cupcakes), lollipop onesies, and crayon rompers.  All these gifts are a unique way to present a very practical gift.  Rather than just giving some clothing in a regular gift bag, Baby Bunch has some really adorable ways to give a gift that would otherwise be practical, but a little boring.

As for my girl friend, she absolutely loved her gift (how can you not).  She had never seen anything so clever.  I have to tell you, I really felt good about giving such a wonderful gift as well.  Sure, there are many things to get someone that just had a baby, but this gift seems to have Mom, Dad and baby all in mind.  The parents will love seeing the beautiful flowers, and the baby will be able to wear the gift.  I’m sure the parents will have a difficult time undoing the bouquet to use the clothing – that’s how pretty it is.  But not to worry becuase they fit up to 16 pounds.  I’m sure by 6 months time they will have run out of clean clothing at least a few times!

As we have just passed the milestone of one year and we venture out more and more with our son, we are a bit overwhelmed with the assortment of sippy cups, binkies and whatnot we have to take with us everywhere. After a recent birthday party with all the children under two years old I have become all too aware of how kids love to take others kids’ stuff and claim it as their own. My son will take a soother out of another babies mouth and put it in his own, I am appalled but what is a mom to do? Label every thing…although I cannot prevent my son from taking other children’s things, at least I know he is only taking our own stuff home with us.

We were sent for review the All Purpose Icon labels from I.D Me Labels. First, let me state how easy they are to order; pick your font (choice of 10), pick the color (your choice of 9), choose the size (circle, rectangular etc), add the name (10 characters per first and 10 characters for the last name) and select an icon from the list (cupcakes, pirate ships, starfish etc) and the quantity and that’s how easy it is to order.  We choose the round labels in blue with a turtle and they are incredibly cute; very appropriate for a one year old. Our package had 30 labels and we use ours predominately on his books and sippy cups, they stick to board books particularly well and both his stainless steel and his plastic sippy cups. It was rather funny as my husband said “don’t bother with the sippy cups, it is just going to come off anyways”. Well, not so far. Truthfully I was surprised as well, I expected it to tatter or come half way off when I washed it. Thus far, it looks as good as new. As a bonus, I can still peel it off in one piece, it takes a bit of effort to start the peeling but it hasn’t ripped yet as they are waterproof, dishwasher- and microwave-safe…Bonus. Along with their line of really durable lables, I.D Me Labels are separated into several easy to navigate categories; daycare, school, clothing, household etc. Each category has a selection of really well thought out  items for the organized or those who want to get organized in every category.

My personal favorite from the daycare line are the Strap Mates; they go on your child’s shoes to personalize them and make sure they take the correct sneakers home. (so much cooler than writing your child’s name in markers). If you’ve ever had your sneakers mistakenly taken from school, you know how cool these are. The school labels from I.D Me Labels feature bag tags, seriously these are so beyond cute. In the small city I live in there are only a handful of places to get school supplies so I am guessing there would be more than one of the same kit bag in every classroom. Solve the problem by using bag tags; they are stylish and functional, what’s not to love? There are many great labels for the kids, but what about Mom and Dad?

Don’t worry, I.D Me Labels has the perfect solution for organizing your stuff….The I.D Label Me Craft Pack includes 75 labels that can be used on plastic storage bins, boxes and shelves. Just think how easy you could sort all your stuff for every room in your house. There is a label for practically everything; baby, recipes, brushes, bakewear, stencils, paint and holidays just to mention a few.

As a child of the 80’s I always loved the commercials that end with “and knowing is half the battle”. Wondering why? Well, I think this life is a learning process and I believe we should all try to do better once we know better. This is how my love of  organic cotton and all things natural began. I have discovered once I started reading and learning more about why natural is better for us and our environment I have really tried to make the commitment to use more organic cotton and natural products  everywhere I can. The first room I attempted to convert was our bedroom by using organic cotton linens for our bed and my son’s crib. Naturally Good.Net has an extensive line of very beautiful organic cotton duvet covers, in particular, I love the Sage Leaf pattern with matching bed skirt and shams. The crisp and fresh collection makes me want to crawl in bed and relax. Be sure to check out Naturally Good. Net’s collection of blankets (i.e waffle weave, crepe weave and the chenille) to complete your oh so suggly collection of gorgeous and healthy linens for your retreat room. Moving on to the next room on my “conversion” list, the bathroom…hmmm, what to do? Where does one start? The best place to start is the thing I use every single day, my bath mat. I received for review an organic cotton bath mat from Naturally Good. Net’s and it’s far superior to my old bath mat.

Who knew there could be such a difference? Firstly, it is really, really thick cotton and feels amazing underneath my tootsies. It’s all organic cotton, meaning there is none of that sticky plastic underlay that is often found on a typical bathmat one can purchase from most large department stores.

You know the stuff that comes off by the handfuls every time you wash the mat and eventually comes completely off leaving you with a pile of fuzzies and nothing else. As well as being unbelievably soft; the bath mat from Naturally Good. Net is well…naturally good for us and the environment as it does not contain formaldehyde finishes, pesticide residue, toxic flame-retardants or dioxins because it is not bleached (leaving the bath mat a rich cream color) . I have used this bath mat day in and day out for several weeks and it still looks brand new, I haven’t had a problem with it smelling funky or getting worn as my usual mat did. I used to replace my bath mat every few months or sooner because they get so dirty and worn looking so quickly but I guess when one only spend 10 bucks on a cheap mat, you get what you pay for.

My beautiful bath mat has started me on the conversion process for my bathroom. Additionally, Naturally Good. Net has two amazing lines of bath towels  too; the Pure Rest and the Coychui line which are available in several colors and sizes sure to suit every decor.

Because the owners behind Naturally Good. Net are concerned with all things that are good and healthy for us and our planet they offer an extensive line of natural products for you and your family for inside and outside your home. As I continue this journey of knowledge, I look to sites such as Naturally Good.Net for their continuously growing assortment of products as well as all the information provided on their site. I am an avid reader, always asking questions and I love that Naturally Good.Net has a page dedicated to Q&A, such as “Why Organic”, “Why are soy wax candles better” and lots of other helpful information to help everyone make better purchasing decisions. Want to know more? Want to make your home more healthy? Visit Naturally Good.Net online.

As much as we all love large, plastic and shiny toys I was overwhelmed during the holidays at the amount of large, shiny and plastic toys there were in just about every single store I was in. They have their merits but at the same time I want to have some choice about the toys he plays with. Not only was I surprised by the very minimal collection of organic and wooden toys, what was available was often really, really expensive. I was so glad to find Dandelion Earth Friendly Goods and see their range of affordable and adorable products of earth friendly toys.

We received for review the Organic Cotton Sorter, the adorable baby Rhino and the toddler two pack of bowls and the toddler 8 pk of utensils. The organic cotton sorter has 6 sides; the bottom is solid, each of the four sides (two terry cloth, one is the softest velour and the 4th is canvas) has a cut out of a different shape which has coordinating blocks and the top side has a flap. The sorter comes with 4 blocks; a square that makes a crinkle sound, an oval that also makes a crinkly sound, a 5 sided plush that has a rattle sound when its shaken and the last shape is a triangle that squeaks and is the perfect size for his little hands. At 1 year old, my son shakes his sorter and enjoys pulling the blocks out but thus far hasn’t figured out that he is supposed to be learning to put each shape block into the sorters coordinating side. I am guessing that will come in the next little while, Mommy doesn’t like to brag but he is quite clever.

Dandelion Earth Friendly Goods has rattles and teethers, toys, plush,  table wear and totes. Their rattlers and teethers are subdivided into blankets, adorable animals (ducks, frogs etc). The developmental are divided into products that stack, sort and attach; perfect for the curious little minds and hands of small children. The plush line has two lines; the “Classic” and the “Believe”, the first features the Bear, Duck and Turtle in snuggly organic cotton. The Believe features the Rhino, the Polar Bear and the Elephant in big and little sizes; the mommy and baby.

We received the baby Rhino, it’s made of snuggly organic  terry cloth and canvas and it is amazingly cute! It’s bigger than I thought, and is quite soft and easily carried around by my son.

Although it looks and feels similar to conventional plastic the plates, bowls and utensils are made using bioplastic which comes primarily from corn. Yes, corn…Polylactic acid (PLA) requires significantly less fossil resources, and generates far fewer green house gases. Sounds like a good idea to me as every little bit helps our earth. The tableware from Dandelion should be hand washed only; do not microwave or put in the dishwasher. We use ours mostly everyday, I find the spoon is larger than our usual spoon which I found too small but I do have to careful not to overload the spoon as it holds more than a mouthful for my little guy. I like the spoons and have used it myself when the dishwasher is full. Our son is not using a fork yet but mommy has eaten a piece of his birthday cake with one and it picks up cake just fine.

A great company with heart and a conscious;Dandelion has recently donated the proceeds of its tote bag sales to the  American Red Cross’ Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund.

I finally received the answer to a question I had since I was a little girl.  I remember reading Curious George and the Man with the Yellow Hat as a youngin and always wondered what the Man with the Yellow Hat’s name is. Today, I finally received the answer.  I regularly watch Curious George on TV with my daughter, and have never heard Ted’s name used before.  I guess it was first released in 2006, and I am just finding out today.  Better late than never.  So where did I get my info from?  The brand new Curious George movie out on DVD March 2nd called Follow that Monkey.

Here is a Synopsis:

The world’s most beloved and inquisitive monkey is back in Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey, the fun-filled sequel to the hit animated movie. Join Curious George and The Man with the Yellow Hat as they set out on a madcap cross-country adventure to reunite Kayla, a homesick elephant, with her family. This unlikely trio faces all types of comic calamities and colorful characters and in the end, learn that with family, friends and determination, you can achieve anything. Featuring the voices of Tim Curry, Matt Lauer, Jamie Kennedy and Jerry Lewis, Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey, “proves that family, friends – and curiosity – are number one.” (Francine Brokaw, Los Angeles Family Magazine)

BONUS FEATURES

• Two Never Before Seen Bonus Shows from the all-new TV season! See the premiere episode 6 months before it airs!
• Curious George’s Cross Country Caper Game – It’s more fun than a barrel of you-know-what when George and Kayla go on the run with security specialist Marcus Wolfe hot on their trail!  Exciting puzzles lead the way from New York to California so Kayla can visit her brother and sister. But be careful—a wrong answer could bring the Wolfe right to their door!
• Hold On, Here We Go – Exclusive Music Video
• Coloring Pages and Wallpapers

At only 18 months old, my daughter is mesmerized by Curious George, and it’s entertaining for the adults too.  This movie is a little different from the TV show.  It doesn’t have the same theme song, and there is no narrator, but  George is just as silly and funny as on television.  The movie also has a number of songs, another thing that is not common in the TV series.  I like that this movie also keeps adults in mind with some of the little jokes.  For example, when trying to call the theater, it’s nearly impossible to reach an actual person and one of the options to speak to a representative is Klingon – a joke the kids probably would not get, but the adults are sure to.  Overall, a really fun movie that the whole family will enjoy.

Curious George is a classic, I grew up with him, and am really happy that my daughter will get to know him too.

Disney has one more princess to add to their list of famous, lovable ladies.  Princess and the Frog will be hitting stores on DVD & Blu Ray on March 16th.

Here is a synopsis:

Magic, music and romance are waiting around every corner of the legendary Big Easy as Disney’s newest princess sets out on an exciting adventure through a magical new world. Tiana (voiced by Anika Noni Rose) is a beautiful and hardworking young woman determined to fulfil her father’s dream of owning an elegant New Orleans supper club. When Naveen (Bruno Campos), a handsome prince arrives in town looking for romance, the evil Dr. Facilier (Keith David) hatches a nefarious plot and turns Naveen into a frog. A kiss from Tiana should return him to his true form, but in a hilarious twist on the classic story, she is instead transformed into a frog herself! The pair must travel into the heart of the mysterious Louisiana bayou with only a trumpet-playing alligator and a love-struck firefly as guides to find the priestess who can reverse the curse in order to find their “happily ever after.”

I am highly anticipating the opportunity to review this movie.  I will be receiving my copy in the mail this week, and will update this post with my thoughts after the show.
In the meantime, take a peek at the trailer!

UPDATE:

I just finished washing the Princess and the Frog (I just got it in the mail today)!  This is for sure a Disney classic.  There are great characters, great music and some great laughs.  However, this movie also stands true to the Disney classics of villains.  I would say if you have little ones at home, they may be afraid of the “Shadows Man”.  There were many dark scenes.  The Shadow Man also reads tarot cards – just as a warning to some of you who would not want your children to see such things.

What I loved most about this movie was the Orleans culture, which included things like gumbo, the bayou, Tabasco sauce and some frog catchers (for the tasty legs of course).   My favourite part of the movie was when Ray the Cajun Fire fly passes away – sounds pretty grim, I know, but I truly was surprised as to the outcome, it brought a little tear to my eye.

Although this is a “Princess” movie, both girls and boys will like it, as most of the movie is about frogs, and not princesses at all.

When our local grocery store stopped offering plastic bags and started charging for them, I was very much in support of their environmental efforts.  After all, I had been bringing my reusable shopping bags for quite some time, so I felt like I was not going to be affected by this latest decision.  It turns out I had been unwittingly sneaking plastic bags into my house and using them for various household tasks.  Surprisingly, among other things, I was relying on the bags to carry diaper bag items.  And so, it took a progressive change in supermarket policy to get me to find other ways to waterproof my diaper bag items.

The Planet Wise Wet Bag I received for review from Nicki’s Diapers is a fabulous way to tote used cloth diapers when you are on the run.  The bag is sewn around the edges, with a secure matching zipper for closure at the top.  The Planet Wise Wet Bag has been sealed on the interior (feels like it has a thin layer of waterproofing plastic), to ensure there are no leaks.  We received the medium sized Planet Wise Wet Bag and to give you an idea what that translates into, the most we have put in it were four used hemp diapers, covers and reusable wipes.  Even with all of this stinky goodness, the bag was still only about half full.

Our bag looks exactly like the one shown here, but Nicki’s Diapers offers up a full selection of very fun and mod designs.  Nicki’s Diapers also suggests the following uses for the Planet Wise Bag: swimwear, shoes, potty training, cosmetics and going to the gym.  In short, you could use this bag for yourself long after your babe has grown out of their cloth diapers… or you could just get one for yourself now.  The bag is washable, made in the USA and PVC free.

Nicki’s Diapers also carries a full line of cloth diapers, training pants, carriers, breastfeeding and feeding items, toys, shoes, swim and sun gear, stuff for mom, car seats and sleep items.  Nicki’s Diapers offers a instruction on how to view a diaper auction, hosted by www.myswimbaby.com, www.clothdiaperclearance.com, www.planetwiseinc.com, and www.bestbottomdiapers.com, so you can sell or buy used cloth diapers!
Plus, there are full write ups on the most popular brands of cloth diapers, so you can do research into which brand might suit you best.  AND the site helps you with tips on how to best care for your purchases.  Nicki’s Diapers is a valuable resource for any parent who wants to cloth diaper.

My brother recently came for a visit and stayed with us for two weeks.  During that time, he and my daughter bonded through dancing, playing, reading stories, rough housing and cuddling.  Unfortunately, there came a day when he had to go back and there was no way we could communicate this to my one year old and prepare her for his leaving.

We were lucky enough to have his departure coincide with the arrival of the Sleepy Wrap from the Weecare Diaper Company which I received for review.  In the wake of my brother’s absence, my daughter needed extra love and attention, which meant having her “on” us all day long.  The Sleepy Wrap was a great way to still get some adult things done while meeting her needs; we have eaten in it, prepared meals, gone to the bathroom, folded laundry, paid bills, made calls, checked on our neighbour’s house… all without having to leave the sanctuary of the wrap.  I even considered taking a shower in it at one point, but I stopped myself.  The wrap has a natural give to it, so when you are walking around the baby bounces slightly and my daughter really enjoyed this.  We tried all of the holds recommended in the booklet (with the exception of the newborn hold) and found that we both preferred the Love Your Baby Hold (snug and secure, close to the body positioning).  The wrap is machine washable and you can either put it in the dryer or hang it to dry.  The wrap is completely without buckles, snaps, zippers or anything else that can dig into your babe’s tender skin.  The wrap comes with a matching carry bag.

Weecare Diaper Company carries a full selection of baby needs, including a wide range of cloth diapering options.  Weecare says that one of their hottest sellers is their high quality California Baby Skin Care line, which includes shampoos, calendula diaper cream, sun block, diaper area wash, lotions, rash cream, bubble bath (for different moods) and bug spray.  Sounds like a perfect shower gift.
