Green Garmento {FREE SHIPPING & GIVEAWAY}

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

For those of you taking little steps to live your life a bit more green, I have a product for you today that will painlessly help you take another step in living green.  ;-)   Most of us use the dry cleaners regularly right?  So what if I told you a company has designed a eco friendly 3-in-1 reusable garment bag, interested?

Green Garmento has designed the perfect bag for dry cleaning.  This is how it works, at home you use it as your dry cleaning hamper.  When you are ready for your clothes to by cleaned, the hamper becomes your dry cleaning duffel or bag.  This same bag is given to your dry cleaner and they use it as your garment bag!  Isn’t that wonderful!  No swapping out piles of clothes from one hamper to a bag  then from plastic bags to the closet.

The Green Garmento  team believes in helping you live greener. Every year over 300 million pounds of single-use plastic dry cleaning bags are dumped into our landfills?* And that’s just in The United States. Plastic bags are rarely recycled, they don’t completely break down in landfills, they kill marine and wildlife and can cause choking accidents and sometimes death in infants and toddlers. If left on dry cleaned clothes, the plastic bags don’t “breathe” which can cause the chemicals to stay in your clothing which then leach into your skin.

 

The Green Garmento is like a reusable grocery tote for your clothes. Green Garmento Features, made from recyclable non-woven polypropylene, breathable & water-resistant, side zipper allows easy access to hanging garments, drawstring closure at bottom, sturdy loop fits over any hook for use as a hanging hamper, durable shoulder strap for convenient carrying as a duffel bag, reinforced handles for compressed carrying, wide gussets allow cleaned clothes to hang gently at all times, machine washable (short cycle – cold) and hang dries quickly, see-through front pocket for dry cleaning ticket or other customer ID,  recyclable & Reusable.  I was worried about my dry cleaners not using my bag or losing my clothes but with the see-through pocket you just put a copy of your dry cleaning ticket in the pocket.  No worries :-)   The bag is big enough to hold 10-12 garments and comes in bright colors making the bag very easy to spot!

We’ve really enjoyed our Green Garmento bag.  It is just so convenient.  We use recyclable grocery bags, why not dry cleaning bags.  Such an easy change!

Fantastic colors, my favorite is the burst of orange!  You can not miss that bag!

GIVEAWAY ALERT! :-)    Let’s give one lucky reader a chance to win their very own Green Garmento!!  Win the Green Grass Garmento bag   when you comment back here what you like best about this wonderful product.   EXTRA ENTRIES FOR ALL GIVEAWAYS!

aden+anais {GIVEAWAY}

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Well they’ve done it again!  The fabulous Reagan Moya-Jones and her team have added to an already wonderful collection of classic cotton muslin, organic cotton muslin and bamboo muslin products for your baby!  But now,….. the team brings you the Cozy Collection :-)

aden + anais has brought the legacy of muslin together with fashion-forward design to create a line of products that are as stylish as they are useful and as simple as they are beautiful. The proof is in every product we make. aden + anais is known for its high-quality 100% cotton muslin products that are fashionably designed with contemporary aesthetic taste. They have built their reputation on highlighting the special properties of muslin that make it ideal for infant and toddler care. The muslin products breathe and allow a baby’s body temperature to regulate itself naturally, dramatically reducing the risk of overheating.

For countless generations, mothers have swaddled and cared for their children with natural muslin.  aden + anais® brings this traditional practice to you with their specially-crafted cozy swaddles. Designed with fashion-forward prints and a double-layer of muslin, they are the perfect wrap for cold, wintry nights and brisk walks in the park.

Single 100% cotton muslin double-layer swaddling blanket. The fabric’s light, open weave allows a baby’s body temperature to regulate itself naturally which helps to prevent overheating. The double layer of muslin helps make baby comfortably warm on cold nights and brisk walks through the park. The more you washaden + anais wraps, the softer they get. aden + anais wraps are extra large, measuring 47” x 47”, so that new and seasoned moms alike can swaddle babies of all sizes with ease. Traditionally used for swaddling the wraps can also be used as burp cloths, nursing and stroller covers, portable crib sheets, stroller and car seat liners, tummy time blankets, change table covers, and more.  Since Noah is almost 10 months old we don’t use our blanket to swaddle, but we do use it every single day in our stroller :-)    We use it at the park too, Noah isn’t walking yet so he sits and plays in the sunshine :-)

SIDS is a serious health concern for any parent.   We would never intentionally do something to harm our children, aden + anais and the CJ Foundation for SIDS Educate Parents and Caregivers About The Dangers of Over-Heating Infants.   Be aware of the dangers so you can keep your baby safe. aden + anais proudly sponsor and raise awareness for the CJ Foundation.

In the winter months, parents and caregivers are more likely to crank the heating and reach for plush, thick blankets to keep their babies warm. Infants who are overdressed or covered in heavy blankets or many blankets are at higher risk for SIDS. It is very important for babies to be dressed lightly and comfortably to avoid overheating. The CJ Foundation recommends the use of wearable blankets and sleep-sacks in place of blankets to keep infants warm while sleeping.  Makes complete sense!  Over 2,000 babies in the United States still die of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) each year, and overheating is a leading risk factor.

Here are som risk-reducing, precautionary practices:

Consider the use of fans to increases ventilation
Room temperature should be comfortable for a lightly-clothed adult, approximately 61-67 degree Fahrenheit
Cribs should be totally free of all loose blankets, stuffed animals and crib bumpers
Lay baby to sleep in an improved crib, on a firm mattress; do not let the baby sleep on soft things, like a couch, pillow, sheepskin, foam pad or waterbed
No smoking when pregnant or near baby
If possible, breastfeed baby
Offer a pacifier at bedtime
Co-sleeping should be in the same room but not the same bed or other sleep surface as parents

aden + anais has received the Creative Child magazine 2007 Seal of Excellence and several prestigious iParenting Media Awards.

About the CJ Foundation for SIDS: The CJ Foundation for SIDS is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the special needs of the SIDS community through funding SIDS research, support services and public awareness programs. www.cjsids.org

You must feel the soft thickness of these blankets!   Let’s give one a reader a chance (U.S. and Canada)!!  Win an aden + anais cozy sleeping bag of your choice when you comment back here what you like best about aden + anais products.   {Looks like FB is allowing us to use joining FB groups as extra entries again so have at it…EXTRA ENTRY for becoming an aden+anais fan on FaceBook & CJ Foundation too!!}  Contest ends in one week, good luck to all!

Bear Feet Shoes {FREE SHIPPING & GIVEAWAY}

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

It all started with a simple observation, babies like to be bare footed. Developmentally babies feet should be barefoot as much as possible so it can grow naturally into its shape.   Common sense shows babies can not possibly always be barefooted due to hazardous hidden dangers in grass, on sidewalks, at the playground even in your own homes carpet.  Thus, Bear Feet Shoes was born with a simple classic infant bootie.  :-)

Noah was lucky enough to receive such a pair from Bear Feet Shoes just in time!  He’s nine months and cruising all around.  He prefers to have you hold his little hands while he tries to master walking to crawling any day.  So I was thrilled to put this adorable pair of shoes to the test.   The leather is really soft, the shoe is super light which is so important at this stage of development.  The rubber soles bend effortlessly and keep him from slipping and sliding on the hardwood floors as he steadies his wobbly little legs.   The stitching on the inside is minimal so the shoe isn’t irritating, pinching or making his baby foot red.  We are thrilled to put them to great use!

Bear Feet are unique in that they mold to the shape of the foot instead of forcing the foot to conform. They are more flexible than most shoes, which is important because children are not heavy enough to fully flex most other soles. There are various studies to suggest that walking bare foot is actually better for the growth of children’s feet and the only purpose of shoes should be to keep the feet warm and protected from cuts. Of course, we think shoes should be stylish too, so Bear Feet are offered in a wide variety of colors and styles.

Cool styles, vibrant colors and patterns for girls and boys, babies to big kids. Genuine leather, natural rubber, cotton and silk.
Our shoes are made in USA with quality materials from US and Europe!

Aren’t these gorgeous!  That elegant little slipper is precious, super light, delicate but durable!  Every espering ballerina needs a pair!  Shoot for Shoes :-)   is a blog  program,  in which Bear Feet Shoes send shoes to photographically inclined parents to shoot on their children in exchange for professional photographs, which they find are naturally more beautiful than staged photo shoots :-) Isn’t that fun!

GIVEAWAY:  Bear Feet Shoes would like to giveaway one pair of shoes to a lucky reader!  Comment here which 5 pair you like the best and one will be given to you!  Follow Bear Feet Shoes on FACEBOOK for extra entries!! Contest ends in one week, good luck to all!!  ALSO ENJOY FREE SHIPPING AT CHECKOUT FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS!

Merino Kids {GIVEAWAY}

Monday, March 1st, 2010

I’ve been very luck this winter to have a wonderful sleeping bag for Noah.  The temperature outside has fluctuated so much this season it’s impossible to keep his room at a regular temperature.   Being able to have him wear a natural fiber sleeping “sac” meant his body temperature would be regulated regardless of his room temperature and the outdoor conditions.  That gave me a huge piece of mind.

Merino Kids Baby Sleep Sack is different than the other sleeping bags on the market.   Merino is the wonder fiber for young children, merino is a natural wool fiber that has evolved to become the world’s finest fiber.  Unlike most synthetic fabrics, merino is able to breathe and control moisture. This results in a regulated body temperature for your baby and a comfortable micro-climate between body temperature and bedding. When it’s cool, the fabric naturally works overtime to keep baby warm, and when the temperature drops, the fabric insulates to keep baby warm.

I was immediately impressed with the quality of this sleeping bag as soon as I put it on Noah.  First, it is almost custom made for your baby with snaps you can use if you need for a bib adjustment.  So even though the design of the sleeping bag allows for a lot of moving around room the top of the sleeping bag is snug and fits perfectly.  The fabric is super soft and thick.  I knew he’d be comfortable and warm.  BUT what I didn’t expect was a real treat.  Noah soaks his diaper throughout the night, so without fail he wakes up around 4am for a quick change, well that didn’t happen when he wore the Merino Kids Baby Sleep Sack!  I wasn’t sure why until I read more about the fabric and its wonderful ability to wick moisture away from the body which prevents you from getting chills and waking up at 4am :-)   Now that is worth the money!

Evolution has endowed the merino sheep with an amazing wool fiber that scientists cannot replicate. No artificial fabric can match the all-round performance of merino.   It has superior insulation, its allergy safe, made highly durable, naturally fire resistant so no chemicals! The fiber naturally regulates the body temperature so no worries on cold nights or humid summer nights and by reducing the risk of overheating your baby you reduce the risk of SIDS.  Choosing to put your child in a sleeping bag reduces the change of SIDS automatically.

Merino Kids Baby Sleep Sack is the world’s first merino baby sleep sack, made from luxuriously soft, allergy-safe New Zealand merino wool that has an all-year-round use for rooms 64°F to 75°F.   Merino regulates body temperature so baby won’t overheat so you can replace blankets.  Your baby can’t wriggle out and wake uncovered getting cold.   The sleeping bag design doesn’t ride up over baby’s face and it has innovative safety belt aperture makes it easy to transfer sleeping baby between crib, stroller and car!  That is convenient.   This award-winning design adjusts for babies newborn to two years and reduces certain SIDS risk factors.

You won’t be sorry with your purchase, your dollar will go a long way too.  Your baby will wear the sleeping bag for 2 YEARS and you’ll be able to hand it down.  Feel good about your child sleeping comfortably every night :-)

I’m thrilled to offer  a Merino Kids Baby Sleep Sack for one lucky reader!   Be sure to become a fan on FaceBook to participate in monthly prizes!   Here’s your EXTRA ENTRY…subscribe to their newsletter.   Contest ends in one week, good luck to all!!
