This week is all things for the moms out there!

Here are my favorite picks…

Jewelry

Who does not love a new piece of jewelry?  The great thing about the jewelry we carry for mom is that it is both stylish and functional!  We carry Chewbeads, stylish 100% silicone teething jewelry, worn by moms.  Another great option is Baltic Amber.  Baltic Amber is also a natural remedy for chronic ailments like Hypothyroidism, Fybromyalgia, Arthritis, GERD or Reflux, Eczema or Psoriasis, auto-immunity, migraines, and allergies.

Beauty and Self Care Products

Moms need to be pampered and generally will not spend the money on themselves! Here are some great products to get moms to spend a little time on themselves!

Earth Mama Angel Baby is the perfect product line for moms. Body butter, shampoo and body wash, and lip balm…. mom is sure to feel great!

Body Butter

Natural Orange Vanilla Shampoo and Body Wash

Coconut Smoothie Lip Balm

Hosie Naturals is another great company that makes health and beauty products. The sugar scrub, the face serum, the massage oils and the headache balm are among my favorites.

Baby Carriers

So these are for the baby too, but moms LOVE a good baby carrier.  It gives them some ability to work  with both hands while still holding their baby!

Ergo Original carriers are a fantastic option. They are versatile and easy to use! You can wear your baby in the front, back or side.

Original

Organic Cotton Collection

 Another option is Ergobaby performance collection.  This option is more lightweight and therefore cooler for parent and baby.  It is also designed with a longer back panel so it is ideal for babies 6 month and up and can allow the carrier to be worn longer.

So those are my picks!  Which are you going to get this year?

This week is all things toys!
Here are my favorite picks...

Green Toys

Lately these have been my go to lower cost gift for the children in my life.  There are lots of options, they are high quality, ethically made in the USA and made from recycled materials.  You just cannot beat that!  Here are some of my personal favorites…

Turtle on Wheels

Stacker

Train Set

Chalk Mat

This is great for the creative child! This portable chalk mat comes with 12 piece box of colored chalk.  This could be used at home, in the car or out at a restaurant.  Plus it is made in the US and the patterns are cute.

Play Tent

Let me just say this would have been my dream as a child!  This is a great option to decorate your child's room or play room.  It is also a great option if you are not looking for more toys, but rather would like a place for reading and imagination!

Cloth Diapering Storage Options

So... you have 24 cloth diapers(maybe more if you are enjoying the new Bum Genius prints), wipes, wipe solution and maybe a Grovia Magic Stick around your changing table.  You have a lot of baby stuff and limited space.  This begs the question…

What are some of the best cloth diaper storage solutions?

Now y'all, I am all about some real life, so I do not have any beautiful stock photos to show you… just pictures out of real people's houses! :)

Just a Laundry Basket

Not a lot of money?  This is a great and easy option.  Stack them and store the laundry basket under a table or close to where ever you change your baby!

Just a Storage Bin

This is another inexpensive and portable option.  Find a cute storage bin that matches your home's decor and you are ready to go.  Many moms use this when they change most of the diapers in the living room.

Drawer in the Dresser/Changing Table

Make the first drawer in the changing table devoted to all things cloth diapering.  This also makes it easy to rotate your stash. Keep a basket with wipes and wipe solution on the top of the table to complete the organization.

Changing Table with Storage

Do you have a classic changing table with open storage? Add some baskets or old drawers to make for more structured organization. You can stack diapers for easy rotation and accessibility.

Closet Hanger

Are you feeling especially Pinteresty? Use closet storage hanger or baskets, and hang them above the changing table.  This basically uses your diapers as decor, while keeping them close!

Which storage method do you use?

Are you in need of some cloth diapering expertise?  Whether you are interested in cloth diaper, trying to build your stash or just need a few more diapers, we have a cloth diaper consultant that can answer all your questions!  Please be in touch!
