Nature Bratz: Stylish Organic Clothing and Accessories {Giveaway}

At NatureBratz.ca you can find stylish organic clothing and accessories for your little one. Most of their clothes are made in Europe, certified organic and part of the fair trade project. Just what I like to hear when I shop for clothes for my son. 

I really like their store because I have been introduced to some great brands like Kite Kids.  Kite Kids clothing is high quality and made from certified organic cotton, bamboo and recycled polyester.  They don't use any harmful chemicals in the production process and their designs are ultra cool and modern.

PEAPOD Creations: Organic Cuddly Wrap, Blanket & Burp Cloths {Giveaway}

As most of you already know I love fabrics made of 100% organic cotton AND I love baby wrap carriers.  Well, thanks to PEAPOD Creations I got to try their Cuddly Wrap made of 100% certified organic cotton and their organic cotton blanket and burp cloths. You can imagine that I have been in organic cotton heaven since! 

Their lightweight Cuddly Wrap is super breathable and I love wearing it when I am doing things around the house.  You know doing housework and carrying an 12 month old child around can get uncomfortably hot if the material isn't right.  Thankfully organic cotton is very comfortable to wear and SO SO SO soft!  You must feel it to know what I am talking about,  it is the type of soft that makes you want to pick it up and press it against your cheeks.

The little monkey loves being close to mom AND being wrapped around me in soft cuddly material.  A happy baby means a happy mom and not feeling his weight on my back while wearing him make this one of my top favorite wraps.

The Cuddly Wrap is easy to wear and remove (well I have used wraps multiple times before so it is easy for me now) but if you have never done it before the wrap does come with a DVD and paper instructions with photos that are super easy to follow.   I say try it in front of the mirror first and you will be a pro in no time.

Looking for burp cloths that are gentle for your baby's skin? Look no further. A set of burp cloths from Peapod is all you need. They are super soft, reversible, made of 100% organic cotton and double layered.

What I love the most about them is the size. They really wrap around your shoulder and protect your clothing. But what's most important, they protect baby. Remember you don't want your newborn's face against any dirty clothes or rough materials. These are super soft and safe for their delicate skin. I also loved all the colors from their set of four.

Finally their very cute and very SOFT blanket.  Have I mentioned the word "soft" enough in this post? Well, I have to describe how it feels and the blanket is just that.  P-E-R-F-E-C-T for swaddling, in fact I really wish I had this when A was a newborn.  All of the other blankets just seem so rough in comparison.   I really like the circled pocket that is perfect for teething toys or soothers (if your baby uses them), it is a unique little feature.   

My son is all about his new blanket for nap time and I have to make sure to only wash it between nap times and before bedtime because he loves sleeping with it. He is a side sleeper at times and just wraps it around his legs and covers part of  his cheek with it.  He loves it!

I am impressed with the high quality and the material of all of the PEAPOD products. I am recommending them to my friends and family and to all of you.  You will see what I am talking about if you get to touch a blanket or a burp cloth or try their cuddly wrap.  I am adding their products to my "must have organic items for new baby" list.

Win it: One very lucky reader from the US/CAN will win one organic cuddly wrap, one of their organic cotton blankets and one set of burp cloths {$120+ value}. To enter click "Read more" below to see the Rafflecopter form.

Speesees: Organic Cotton Clothing for Happy Babies {Giveaway}

I was looking for fun clothes for my son online one evening when I stumbled upon Speesees. I was immediately hooked! They have the most amazing designs that are super unique and full of color.  Plus their products are organic!

My absolute favorite piece was their hum jumper.  We own tons of jumpers and that's just because I love that they are one piece and how easy it is to change his diapers when he is wearing one.  What I also like about them is that they are perfect for when he is wearing a bulkier cloth diaper,  lots of room for his cloth bum. 

Now that I have your attention,  let me ask you:  Aren't you at all curious about their name? "SPEESEES".   I mean, it is a pretty unique and different name, right? Well, s-p-e-e-s-e-e-s is the way baby would spell 'species', if a baby could spell.  That's where the name comes from, it is all about baby talk spelling.

Their cute short-sleeved hum jumper is a super high quality outfit made out of 100% organic 24 rib cotton.  I love the splash of color and the super adorable design.  We got the size 12-18 and it was obviously a bit big on him but he was still able to rock it for the photo-shoot!   I love that he will be able to wear it for many more months to come!

I love the softness of the material and that it is machine washable. After a couple of washes the colors are still bright and beautiful and the cotton is still soft. 

I love the days when he wears his hum jumper because they just get brighter.  The color brings out smiles and laughs and I am usually in a great mood because of that.  Bright beautiful colors are always great, specially once the summer is gone and the rain and darkness starts to take over the city.  Lovely outfit from a lovely store! Check out their other styles and designs, you won't be disappointed!

The Young 1s: Clothing to Unite Babies of the World {Giveaway}

 

I was looking for eclectic and unique clothes for my son on Etsy when I found The Young 1s. Their online store features amazing 100% organic cotton pieces that are made by sweatshop-free manufacturers and are all hip and fun. 

Sometimes children's clothes can get a bit boring and start to look the same. You see the same old characters and designs but not at The Young 1s. Their designs are inspirational and modern and just what I love seeing my little one wear. 

For my feature I received the Brown Buddha tee and I absolutely love it! The contemplative Buddha is in the center and it has the words " I shut my eyes in order to see" written across the front in different languages.  Such a great way to remind me to take a minute of my day to slow down and reflect!

The tee is super soft and made of 100% Organic Cotton and the design is printed with non-toxic lead free inks.  I have washed it multiple times and it is actually getting softer every time, unlike some other materials.  The color and design still look great and I just love when he is wearing it.  We have definitively gotten people commenting and asking where we got it multiple times!

The Young 1s are also involved in children's charities and a portion of the proceeds from their "Peace" design is donated to charities worldwide.  I love companies that give back!

Be sure to check out their website www.theyoung1s.com  and their Etsy store to see all of their awesome designs!

Win it: Do you want to win one of their awesome designs? One lucky reader from the US/CAN will win one Buddha tee  like the one I tried from their Etsy store (size of their choice).   Click "Read more" below to see the Rafflecopter entry form to enter.

Funkoos Organic Baby Clothes Feature & Giveaway

I rarely buy clothes for my little one at the local malls. There are usually very few stores that sell organic clothes that are not outrageously expensive and it is difficult to find a big selection of them. That is why I love the internet and I do most of my shopping online.

I was browsing the web looking for organic clothing for my son when I found Funkoos Organic Baby Apparel.   They have a great selection of fun modern styles that are organic and chemical-pesticide free. They also manufacture their clothes in 100% fair-trade work environments plus donate to many charitable causes.  So glad I found them!

For my feature I received  a pair or organic denim jeans and one born to be wild organic tee (my son is modeling both on the two photos above).  

Organic Denim Jeans

First of all I have never bought jeans for my son before.  I remember going to many stores and touching the fabrics available. Every time they were so rough to the touch and just not what I had in mind. 

I was so happy when I received the Funkoos jeans and touched the fabric. It was not rough at all.  The fabric is breathable and just feels so good to the touch.  My favorite feature is that they have no buttons, zippers or snaps.  Just pull them up and they stay on, plus he can wear his cloth diaper underneath! 

Born to Be Wild Organic Tee

Their Born to Be Wild Organic Tee is made with 100% certified organic fibers. You can tell right away because of how super soft it is.  I love soft clothing that is comfortable for my little one to wear all day long. Including during nap time. Nothing like rough clothing to ruin a nap.

My favorite feature of this tee is that it is super easy to put on and take off. A lot of times I struggle when I am putting his clothes on and that's why I love clothes that have wider openings that make it easier for me and comfortable for him to get dressed.

I have washed both the jeans and the tee a bunch of times and they are still looking great. I can tell they are very high quality and that they will last.  I am very happy with our clothes and will keep their store in my favorites for future online shopping.

Win it: One lucky reader in the US or Canada will win one pair of their super cute organic denim jeans.  Click "Read More" below to see the Rafflecopter form and to enter.

Under the Nile Organic Cotton Toy Fruit Set Feature & $25 Gift Card Giveaway

  

I am a already a big fan of organic cotton and eco-friendly toys for kids and now thanks to The Ultimate Green Store and their Under the Nile fruit set I have discover eco-friendly educational toys that help kids create positive associations with healthy foods.

The Under the Nile's organic cotton stuffed fruit tote includes a banana, grapes, a watermelon and a pear.  The super cute tote makes clean up and storage easy.   This set is also made AND stuffed with 100% Organic Egyptian Cotton and it is safe for infants to play with and chew on.  I love that it is pesticide and organic dyes free. 

The fruit set was a success with  my little one and he played with it right away. He loved it! I was happy to play with him and teach him the names of the fruits.  Every time he plays with each fruit I repeat its name and I will continue doing it to help him learn the words.  For older children the set is great to be used as an introduction to "healthy" foods in a friendly manner. By letting them play with the toys and see the happy faces you can introduce new fruits and vegetables during the fun times and reinforce the notion that eating fruits and vegetables doesn't have to be a chore.

We have used our tote and fruits for a couple of weeks and I can say the toys are very durable,  even after being chewed on by my son almost daily.   I  have shown the set to a couple of mommy friends and their little ones and all of the other babies are immediately attracted to the fruits and start playing right away. A success when having play dates!

Buy it: If you want to purchase your own Under the Nile green toy set you can visit The Ultimate Green Store's website . While you are there check out their huge selection of eco-friendly products for the home and your entire family, including one of the largest selections of eco-friendly bedding and school supplies.

Win it: One lucky winner will recieve a $25 gift card to the The Ultimate Green Store. Click "Read more" to see the Rafflecopter form to enter.
