Organic Cotton For Your Baby by B-Nature

When it comes to clothing for little ones, I am a sucker for organic cotton. There is something about the way that it feels, and just knowing that it doesn’t have anything that will harm your baby. When they are little and especially in those newborn years, babies have such sensitive skin.

With a mother and daughter team running the show, B-Nature has developed a wonderful line of pure organic clothing. Not only does the clothing feel incredibly soft but they have such a cute and wide selection of clothing. They have incorporated calm yet stylish colors into their new line such as Green Tea, Wheat and Pistachio. B-nature’s color grown line is produced with only naturally colored organic cotton, which means it is minus all the harmful dyes and chemicals, but not without the “totally adorable factor.”

Another nice thing is that B-Nature’s clothing has no tags! I know I personally look for clothing, that is minus the tags. It is one less thing to irritate your child’s skin. Organic cotton, also washes up so nice. I have quite a few pairs of pajamas for the boys that are organic cotton that I choose for them first, before anything else to wear.

Although, they don’t have larger toddler sizes just yet, I still found myself looking at all the really cute clothes. And after awhile, it just makes me want to have another little one, so I can put him or her in one of B-Nature’s gown or rompers.

All B-Nature’s clothing and gift sets are:

• made from the finest 100% organic cottons
• produced without the use of harsh pesticides
• made from organic cotton grown in healthy farming communities
• sewn under fair labor conditions incorporating living wages, employee housing, meal plans, and health care.

I definitely give B-Nature the “Mommy Seal of Approval.” I firmly believe that companies that have a goal of giving safer eco-friendly options for our children should always be my first choice. B-Nature has some really cute gift sets that would be perfect for a new mom, not only as something special but as a way to introduce her to another alternative in clothing her baby.

Happy New Year

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I hope that 2009 is a good one filled with great and wonderful changes! I hope to be back in the swing of things here on my blog on Monday. The holidays are always a hectic time for people and mommies especially. I think I have been in fast forward for the past month now.

We are all down sick at the moment with the exception of my husband. Today we took Monkey to the urgent care because he had labored breathing and a high temperature. They had to give him a breathing treatment and put him on steroids for 5 days. I have already noticed a major difference. Poor thing was exhausted and so was mommy because we were up every hour last night. I hope this means we are turning the corner. It is just incredibly hard when they are sick.

So I am hoping that this is not indicative of how 2009 will be. I am looking forward to great things in my life and here on my blog. I am determined to stay really motivated. I don’t typically make any resolutions simply because it sets you up for failure on day one. I prefer to think of them as aspirations and ideals that I wish to achieve at my own pace. That way when I don’t achieve them I can look forward to continuing to try and meet the challenge. I think it presents in a more positive light and then you just don’t have that resolution looming and you don’t have to feel bad…I think it just has a negative effect on your self esteem. So here’s to all those great aspirations! Ive got lots to look forward too…how bout you?

Back to Business

We are finally back from our trip and I must say it was pretty uneventful in terms of travel hassles.  The boys did really well on our 6.5 hour drive both ways.   I had prepared myself for a lot of whining and complaining but it was quite pleasant and I didn’t arrive completely frazzled.   We got home early on Sunday and between now and then, I have managed to put away all their new toys, build their home depot work bench, just about finished my laundry, and managed to grocery shop and make a couple of meals in between.

It is always nice to get all the stuff unpacked usually it sits in a corner and mocks me for a few days  LOL!  The boys are doing well and love playing with all their new toys especially their tools!   They both have picked up a little “kung foo goo” as I call it, and have been struggling with stuffy noses.   They both had mommy up about 12 times last night but I am a veteran night waker now HA!   I know it isn’t any fun for them when they can’t breathe.   I am just keeping them hydrated, the humidifier on full blast, and nose drops at night.

So far so good…..returning back to normal.   What is normal anyway?????

Weird weather

Here I am sitting here with the windows open at my parents house!   We are in the dead of winter and when we left it was only 5 degrees!  Now it is a balmy 70 degrees here at my parents house and the heater is turned off.   It has been such strange weather!   It makes me want to get in my shorts and sit out in a lawn chair, but like all good things they must come to an end.   IT is supposed to be 30 degrees by this evening….so much for an early spring!

I am enjoying my visit home and tonight will be the big family gathering.   I am looking forward to seeing all the people that I don’t get to see.   My boys will get to interact with some of their younger cousins and well I get sample all the good food.   It’s amazing how much you miss these things when you live so far away.   For me a visit home means a little spoiling for mommy.   It is nice to be pampered….the food always tastes better when you don’t have to cook!

But, like all good things, I am ready to head home tomorrow.   I think you start to miss your bed and house.   It is always nice to see family and visit but with little ones it is nice to get home and get back into a routine.  They have been adjusting very well in their new surrounding so I cannot complain too much!

Merry Christmas

I just wanted to wish DoubleBugs readers a very Merry Christmas.  I hope your travels no matter how near or far are safe.   I hope that your family has a wonderful time and that they are in good health!   I might not post for a couple of days due to me being away from my computer so hope you all have a wonderful Holiday!

On the road again

So we are off and on the road again with the boys.   We will be visiting my family, and have to travel 450 miles to get there.   I am going armed with plenty of in car activites for the boys, dvd players and plenty of snacks.   It should be an interesting trip but I am looking forward to seeing the whole family again.   I miss all the action being so far from home since we have a big family.   Here’s to safe and happy travels with two toddlers, a dog, and a husband  lol!

I am so excited! Santa is Coming to Town!

Next weekend Santa will be visiting our house a little early because we will be visiting family later on and want to sort of have our own Christmas!   The boys are so excited about Santa and it is all they can talk about.  When you ask them what they want Santa to bring them, bubs will tell you stickers, a Christmas Lion, and a skateboard   LOL.  I told him Santa will do his best to fulfill these wishes (although, I seriously doubt he will bring a two year old a skateboard!). Monkey wants a scooter…which mean he wants a computer (LOL) he watches me on my laptop.  Bubs  says, “I good boy, Santa bring toys!”

So Santa has gotten them a bunch of things, because they were just telling us that they wanted Santa to bring them toys.  But then they started being specific and I thought uh oh  lol!   So Santa was out this weekend getting them last minute things that they had requested.  So here I was shopping this weekend for a skateboard, which ended up being a scooter because it was the safest thing, and Bubs will think it is a skateboard.   It is the cutest thing!   It is “My FIrst Scooter” by Radio Flyer and I had to get them each one otherwise these will surely cause a fight  LOL.   I think they will love them, and I found two huge bows to put on them and cant wait to put them by the tree!

So here I was daydreaming about their first major Christmas where they actually are excited, and Christmas morning when they wake up to find all their presents under the tree.  So the big baby that I am, I started crying in the store thinking about my sweet baby boys and how excited they will be.   This is my favorite time of the year, and I just love to see their faces light up.

Here is the empty tree….Hurry Santa!

*Notice the lack of ornaments at toddler level….we are still learning not to touch!  LOL  I have lost a few ornaments!*
