Looking for bold colors, organic cotton & wild designs for your hip little one?  Whether it be for back to “pre-school”, your fall play groups or just hanging around the house, Zoolu Organics has you covered for getting your tot dressed in style!  We love their use of simple, yet eclectic & fresh designs, on comfortable, high quality basics.

As I look around at my friends’ photos on Facebook, I have been seeing all the adorable “first day” outfits that kids are wearing, and my favorites have been the fun & quirky t-shirts that many have on.  This only makes me want to get my kids dressed in their stylish tee’s as well, which will certainly include several from Zoolu Organics!

Patty Abbott, owner & designer of the Zoolu Organics brand, created her company out of a desire to find the perfect combination of organic materials, unisex design & animals to dress her newborn son in.   She has done a fabulous job at creating just that, and we’re proud to show off the pieces that she generously sent us for a review!

PeopleTowels

Monday, August 30th, 2010

With a toddler in the house, I was going through so many paper towels! I realized the huge waste and was on a search for a product that was reusable.   I also saw all the paper towels I was using on my own hands, and realized a change needed to be made! I discovered PeopleTowels, a wonderful company which makes 100% organic reusable hand towels. 

I just love my PeopleTowels samples. Perfect for the whole family. For my son, instead of using paper towels to clean his messy face and hands  after eating, I just use my reusable PeopleTowels.  I was shocked by the statistics on PeopleTowels site. By switching to PeopleTowels for 1 year,  you will save 1/4 of a tree, reduce landfill waste by 23 pounds, and conserve 250 gallons of water!  I love the towels, they are small enough to take anywhere, perfect for putting in the diaper bag when out and about. PeopleTowels also come with handtags that allow you to attach them to a bag, belt buckle or purse.


Be sure to check out PeopleTowels today!  What a great way to cut down on paper towel use, and help our environment!

clementine art

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

We have had a lot of fun creating master pieces in our house this summer.  Nicholas and Noah both have enjoyed painting, rolling play dough, gluing anything that sticks to paper :-) Sitting with your kids and just getting into a massive mess of creativity is one of  the absolute best times spent together.  Nicholas’ imagination is so much fun at almost 4 years old and Noah is discovery EVERYTHING at just over a year.  So together we have a blast!  

We recieved an all natural certified non-toxic art gift set from Clementine Art out of Boulder Colorado and have been thoroughly enjoying all the features of the set.  For the kids using all natural markers, paint, modeling dough, crayons and glue has meant I am not fretting over the mess :-)   Noah puts a lot of things into his mouth still so playing with dough was something nicholas and I use to do during Noah’s nap so Noah never got to participate.  Same thing with painting, Noah didn’t get to play and even with Nicholas I would stress about the mess, the paint getting into his hair, on his skin.  Using Clementine Art made creative play so much more relaxing and free.  Which is exactly what it should all be about anyway. 

NATURAL GIFT SET

Clementine believes that natural, organic and wholesome ingredients found in nature are best for children and the earth. Clementine art products, packaging and materials set a higher standard for safety and health in children’s products.
Clementine provides parents with a natural alternative to traditional, chemical-laden art products. Clementine uses wholesome, clean ingredients; non-toxic colors from nature (plants, vegetable, and minerals); and no synthetic preservatives.  

DIANA MERCER

“I’ve been delighting in and learning from children for almost 20 years as a teacher, and former owner of Clementine Studio: Art Space for Children. I love to watch a child’s spirit emerge and develop through the process of art. Clementine Art provides little hands with the natural, simple and lovely art products they need.”  Make sure to check out their Art Blog, it is full of really cute and exciting information or become a fan on Facebook :-)   So, if you are interested in creating masterpieces without the toxins AND teaching your children about making responsible choices for a smaller footprint, using recycled products with soy ink and wind powered facilities, Clementine Art has it all packaged for you in a fabulous gift set :-)
