I'm crunchy....she's not. What on Earth do I buy her?

Admittedly, this is something I have encountered several times over the past few years. It's easy to get so caught up in your own way of living/mothering that you don't even realize what you're doing is not at all mainstream. If you consider yourself crunchy, maybe even just a *little* crunchy, baby showers for a more mainstream mama can leave you feeling stumped!

eLeMeNO-Pee has plenty of products for mamas even if they choose not to cloth diaper, baby wear, or nurse!



One of our most popular baby shower gift items are the certified organic bamboo swaddler blankets from the Austin Tye Dye Co. They measure 50x50inches and are super soft with plenty of stretch for a tight but breathable swaddle. And you can't beat how cute they are - so vibrant and fun!   We also offer a three pack of tye-dyed prefolds that are intended for use as burp cloths.




Another popular product to toss in the baby shower gift basket are  Chewbeads. Never heard of 'em? Oh, how I wish I'd had these when my daughter was a teething little one! She has always, always been a very "mouthy" type child and it would have been so nice to have cute but SAFE jewelry for her to gnaw on as she was working on cutting those teeth!

Chewbeads are non toxic, fashionable teething jewelry that mama can wear and baby can chew!  They are 100% silicone beads and contain no BPA, phthalates, PVC, cadmium, or lead.   They are also dishwasher safe! 

 
Our Colic Calm and Tummy Calm are also popular products with both mainstream and crunchy mamas who want to help their upset babies feel better! Both of these are perfect shower gifts as they are excellent to have *on hand* when the need arises for them. Late night trips to the store are never fun for anyone!






If you're looking for more of a pre-made bundle of products, The Honest Company has the perfect item for any mama-to-be as well! The baby arrival gift set includes all of the most beloved Honest Company infant products including adorable, eco-friendly disposable diapers and wipes, hand sanitizer, shampoo+body wash, lotion, healing balm, and a baby teether. 


eLeMeNO-Pee is so much more than "just" a cloth diapering store - we have products that accommodate families from every walk of life. These items are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to excellent products for mama and baby! Come in and see us weekdays from 9-5 and Saturday from 10-2 and let us assist you in picking the perfect items for the expecting mother in your life!

Skeeters and bites. Wait. What does eLeMeNO-Pee have to do with mosquitos and bug bites?

It's that time of year again! Can you believe the grass is already greening up, the birds are chirping outside the windowsill, and the temperatures are climbing? I LOVE it! Nothing feels more refreshing than the dawn of a new Spring and eLeMeNO-Pee has a few products that will help start the warmer-season off right!

First off, one of our best sellers of the Spring/Summer are our awesome mosquito bands, called Mosquitno BandZzz. They come in both adult and child sizing and they are a unique and innovative way to keep those pesky little critters at bay.

They are made of silicone and are infused with citronella spray. Each bracelet lasts up to 6 days (up to 150 hours of exposure). They come in sealed packaging to preserve the integrity of the product and they come in various colors. They are waterproof, non-toxic and DEET-free.




Since we are now retailers for the full line of The Honest Company products, we also sell their well-reviewed bug spray!  This product is formulated from non-toxic, non-synthetic, non-petroleum based ingredients and contains pure, organic essential oils  to keep the skeeters at bay. This product is lab tested for efficacy in deterring mosquitoes and flies for up to four hours per application. It is also DEET-free and has a yummy aroma comprised of rosemary, wintergreen, and citronella.


In the event that you do find yourself outdoors without the protection of either of these products, eLeMeNO-Pee also carries a couple of products suitable for helping alleviate the awful itchiness and irritation that comes along with the bug bites.

The Earth Mama Angel Baby Butt Balm works wonders:

As well as the hosie naturals teething cheek balm (I know, sounds crazy, but it works every time!)

Now that you know a few of our all-natural, effective tricks for the Spring/Summer, you will be all set! eLeMeNO-Pee is wishing you a happy, healthy, bug-bite free Spring and Summer! :)

Introducing: The Honest Company and the BIGGEST giveaway in eLeMeNO-Pee history!

If you follow our eLeMeNO-Pee Facebook page, you'll know that we just announced our newest brand in our product lineup: The Honest Company. We are VERY excited about this news and have already been hearing all the rave reviews about their products.

The Honest Company is notoriously popular in the natural parenting community for their disposable diapers and wipes. Even cloth diapering families admit to occasionally needing disposables -- whether it be for traveling, needing a back-up for when they're stripping the entire cloth diaper stash, or when they flat out just want to take a break. They're a much more natural disposable diaper and guaranteed to be free of chlorine processing, latex, lotions, fragrances, common allergens, phthalates, optical brighteners, PVC, heavy metals, organotins (MBT, DBT, TBT) & harsh petrochemical additives.

Not only are they better for baby and better for the environment than traditional disposable diapers, they are also insanely cute. Just look at the adorable print options (these change every few months so you never get bored of the same options!):

An exciting part about bringing on The Honest Company line of products is that we aren't just selling the diapers and wipes, we are carrying the entire line of products both in-store and online! Those additional products include sunscreen, vitamins, body wash, lotion, nipple cream, toothpaste, cleaning products (laundry detergent, multi-purpose cleaner, dishwasher detergent, window cleaner, etc), and SO much more.

Now that you know what The Honest Company has to offer, we have even more exciting news!
