Does Mommy Love It?

One of my favorite online companies, Sprout Baby, has now started carrying a fabulous new baby care line called Episencial.  Being that one of my son’s favorite books is “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, I knew by the looks of the baby wash bottle it was a winner!

The organic foaming wash is a gentle and hydrating cleanser that rinses off very easily.  It’s fragrance free with a hint of organic orange extract allowing for a fresh but mild smell.  A cleanser our family has come to truly love.  I finish off the bathing ritual with a baby message using the Episencial hydrating lotion.  During these winter months this product has definitely kept my son’s sensitive skin moisturized.  It includes ingredients such as organic olive, lavender oil, and more, perfect for your little one’s skin!

In addition to the Episencial line, Sprout Baby carries Baby Beehinds Hemp Reusable Diapers!  Made with 55% hemp and 45% certified organic cotton, these diapers keep my son dry for hours! These natural diapers are very soft and adjustable for your growing baby.  I am able to get the perfect fit for my son every time, maximizing his comfort and minimizing any leaks.  It is so soft and durable.  This diaper worked so well there were times I wouldn’t even use the diaper cover.  However, I do highly recommend the Baby Beehinds wool covers.

Sprout Baby.com continues to impress with a well edited selection of products they carry.  I am amazed every time I check out their site for the new, organic, and earth friendly companies they are stocking.  This is the perfect site for moms who choose to go green and also have a high standard of excellence for top quality products!

The Go-La Rolla is a perfect solution to the hard and somewhat dangerous floors our babies are laying or rolling on.  This mat, created by two moms, was designed with babies in mind.  A baby’s skin is sensitive so Go-La Rolla is made organically and eco-friendly.  Your child’s senses were in mind with the creation of this mat.  The waffle covering allows the child to learn and play giving them a tactile experience.  You can attach toys to the built in toy loops and is large enough for them to crawl around on!  One of my favorite features is the fact that you can roll it up and sling over your shoulder for traveling.  This will be convenient for me this summer with the new baby.  We live only five blocks from Central Park.  I can lay the baby on the mat in the park, without worrying about bugs crawling on my little one.  If the ground happens to get your mat dirty, don’t worry because the products are machine washable!

Go-La Rolla is a fabulous product for moms.  Not only is it created with your baby’s interest in mind but also the Earth’s.  All of their products are made in North America and are safe, organic, and eco-friendly!  Yippee for the Go-La Rolla Mat!  They have offered our readers a 20% discount using code: Mommyloveit20

I normally shy away from stuffed animals because of how cheesy they often are.  For my son’s first birthday grandma gave my son a stuffed animal and he instantly fell in love.  I had never seen him hug and adore something so much.  Once I discovered his soft side towards stuffed animals I began the look out for organic and interesting ones. It was in my search that I found Aminals!

Aminal Dolls are the cutest and most unique huggable soft dolls I’ve come across.  There are about eleven different dolls to choose from with each having their own special story.  They were inspired by the imaginative world of kids and their artwork.  “Exaggerated proportions, squiggly lines, bright colors; they are creative expression at its most honest-and most hilarious!”

Aminal Dolls make it under my so very cool list because not only are they uniquely designed but organic.  They are certified under the Global Organic Textile Standard.  Every aspect of this line is made with integrity and for the safety and care of our children!  There is an Aminal to choose from that can suit any child!  We have the Momey Doll and my son adores it!  Kudos to Aminal!

Aminal has offered a doll of choice to one of our readers!  To enter, simply visit Aminal and then leave a comment here on our site.

I absolutely love the selection of clothing for my young one that is sure to be sweatshop free!  Christine Kelly, designer of Dadoo Kids, has developed a line of modern, playful, and incredibly comfortable clothing for kids!  The materials are made with organic cotton and bamboo blends with each pattern piece being uniquely made. Each piece made is knit, without closures and have elastic waistbands allowing for stretch and flexibility for your little one!  I received the very hip Moto Tee and Infant Lounge Pant.

The organic cotton Moto tee is so soft and has the cutest vintage motorcycle design. Motorcycles are, of course, one my little man’s passions right now.  The tee is made in the USA and definitely compliments any bottoms you put with it.

The infant lounge pants are a 50/50 blend of organic cotton and bamboo.  They are one of the most comfortable pants my son owns.  They are easy to put on which definitely helps with the potty training process.  These are dream play pants because they even have slight kneepads built in to prevent holes and provide ease on the knees.  Most of all, the design is sweet and makes for a great outfit for my son!

Dadoo Kids definitely live up to being some of the best play clothes around.  The softness of the fabrics, and the edgy designs makes for a fashionable outfit.  I also love that they are made in the USA!  Definitely a company to invest in!  Luckily, Dadoo Kids is offering Does Mommy Love It? readers a 20% discount using code: Mommyloveit20

As someone who was secretly thrilled to lose a bunch of pregnancy pounds by way of a nasty stomach flu, I am certainly no poster child for post-natal fitness.  So, I was naturally drawn to the tummy-shrinking Belly Bandit.  This bamboo fabric, compression wrap promises to help tighten your post-pregnancy middle while providing some much need core support.  It wraps snuggly around your waist and is secured with a 5” strip of Velcro.  I used the Belly Bandit for several weeks post-delivery and couldn’t have been happier.  It not only flattened out my belly but I was really thrilled with how much it helped tone up my labor-weary body.  Plus, the sleek design is virtually undetectable under clothing.  For simple sizing tips, check out their website. Responsible shoppers can relax knowing the Belly Bandit is made from sustainable bamboo in the USA. Now if only they made a Thigh and Booty Bandit …

The webshop Vyssan Lull pronounced (vyyschan loull) stands for a Swedish Lullaby.  How cute!  They carry organic children’s clothing ranging from mainstream to up and coming Scandinavian designers.  The fabrics from the various designers are absolutely astounding as well as the designs.  They make no compromise when it comes to environmental safety with the production of their line.

My son has been sporting the Urban Elk longsleeve olive tee that is incredibly soft and durable.  This top can bring to life any outfit ensemble.  The Many Clouds Longsleeve tee by Green Cotton is also incredibly playful and comfortable for my son.  The colors are vibrant without looking cheesy and cheap.  In addition to boy tees, Vyssan Lull carries unique and very trendy girl dresses.  In six weeks I find out if I am having a boy or girl.  If it’s a girl I am definitely snagging Katvig’s charming pocket knit dress!

Beeluxe is a modern, organic personal care and home décor product line.  The core ingredient in their products is organic beeswax.  The beeswax is an earth friendly, renewable resource derived from a beehive. It is free of dyes and artificial fragrances.   As one extremely sensitive to fragrances, this line has worked well for me.

Their organic beeswax candles are fabulous.  The aroma is fresh and the beeswax allows it to burn cleaner and longer than the paraffin candles that I also own. It was a breath of fresh air. They have a variety of scents such as grapefruit and rosemary, lavender, and macintosh apple. These are perfect scents for the holidays.

Their body lotions are made from 85% organic honey and are light enough to use on hands and effective enough to treat the body. They carry a fantastic bar soap called the Great Bar of China which is scented with ylang ylang and mandarin. It is 85% organic and laced with organic honey, a natural antibacterial.  I love the raw look to this bar and the fact that it cleans my hands without stripping them of moisture.

Beeluxe will make great gifts for the holidays.  The fragrances are extracted from plants, which make them free of phthalates, parabens, sulfates, and other harmful substances.  Not only is Beeluxe organic but also made in the USA!

Under the Nile boasts an impressive collection of clothing, blankets, toys, diapers, and accessories – all made with 100% Egyptian organic cotton.  I was sent the Summer Babybody for review and was very pleased with it.  Very cute monkey print and extremely soft cotton… If you’ve jumped on the organic bandwagon, Under the Nile is definitely worth checking out.  As far as apparel goes, they cover all the bases in infant clothing – onesies, gowns, pajamas, footies, and dresses – no flashy patterns here, just your basic  stuff made with quality cotton that’s:  grown in Egypt, hand-picked, organically cultivated, dyed with natural colors, and fair traded for the benefit of all people producing the product.

            There’s no better start to my workout routine than with a great yoga outfit with a great meaning.  I tend to be more motivated and confident in my workout when I feel comfortable in my ensemble!

            Swami Baby is a wonderful yoga clothing line for infants and toddlers as well as their parents.  Created by a yoga instructor and mother of three, Katie Holley sought out to give a “voice” to her little ones.  “Swami baby not only strives to give this wisdom a voice, but also acts as a calming reminder for adults to relax, enjoy themselves and take life one baby step at a time.”  This is such a refresher for my own life right now.  It truly does give good perspective when you are in the midst of stress.

            Swami Baby carries yoga pants, organic tops, sweaters, and gifts for both adults and babies!  My favorite is their “Think Green” organic tee for babies and toddlers!

As most mothers can attest, at every baby shower and every event related to our infant, for whatever reason we were all given tons and tons of blankets. And use maybe 3. If only I had been given the Lotus Bebe bamboo blanket! This blanket has almost too many luxurious features; it just seems crazy for something as simple as a blanket to have had so much thought and care put into its creation, but its true people, it’s incredible!  The blanket is made of bamboo fiber fleece which really does feel like cashmere and has a 100 % silk trim. Like so many of the products that we review on this site we are doing our best to find the products that are the healthiest for our families and for the planet; and the use of bamboo does just that. The manufacturing uses sustainable raw materials, is naturally hypo-allergenic and is naturally resistant to certain types of harmful bacteria, keeps out harmful UV rays and is thermal regulating. It is also more breathable than other fabrics and is moisture-wicking (which is fantastic if your babe chews on the blanket). Yes, all those things, AND each blanket comes with a grosgrain ribbon and a tag printed on 100% recycled paper that you can actually plant in the ground. No seriously, you take a tag, put it under a thin layer of soil, water it every day and watch your blanket tag turn into flowers. It’s all too much. This would really make the perfect shower gift or a wonderful addition to any baby’s crib. They come in two sizes: large 30″x30″ which is perfect for swaddling or the petite 15.5″x15.5″ for the wee one who needs to snuggle. Also, available in many colors! Clearly,

With all of the organic soap lines for children, Little Twig stands apart from the rest.  This is the soap I currently use and will continue to use on my son.  I have the non-irritating Tangerine Body Wash and truly adore it.  It lathers up while being gentle on the skin and is ph balanced.  It is made with organic ingredients and is pediatrician tested and approved.  There are no synthetic fragrances or artificial colors.  What I love most about the organic line Little Twig is their recycling policy.  In order to promote the recycling of their bottles, mail them four of your empty containers and they give you a 30% discount off your next online purchase!  I’ve yet to come in contact with a company that is that serious about keeping it Green!

Truly, this has been my favorite line of baby cleansing products thus far.  Not only is it organic, green, but affordable.  Their shampoo and body wash is only $10.99.  They also carry the most adorable ladybug bath mitten for only $4.50!  This is truly a line whose ethos is as great as their product.

With all the hype around organic apparel, let BioME5 NOT be missed.

Maker of kid’s apparel BioME5 was created by two architectural designers who combine their fascination with nature’s beauty with an appreciation of the visual learning processes inherent in all children.  Their graphics are vivid, colorful, and imaginative, and introduces the child to animals of the wild not often mentioned in other books (jaguar, xenops, urchin…)

My son was immediately drawn to it when he opened his Q (quail) shirt and loves sporting it.  I love how the text appears strangely upside down to anyone but the child wearing it… But when my little boy sports this shirt and looks down to see how quail is spelled, it’s a perfect fit.

Kudos to BioME5 for making their products with kids in mind!

Kicky Pants offers the softest baby and child clothing. All of their garments are made with 95% bamboo and 5% Lycra which allows for easy stretch.  My favorite piece is their capri length coveralls that have the cutest “diaper-checking” panel.  Kicky pants combine vintage aesthetics with ultra soft, eco-friendly fabrics.   The collection is simple and polished with excellence.  I love the hard bamboo tag that is attached to each garment.  It makes me feel like I am buying a piece of art.  Kicky Pants bamboo fabric works well in the humid New York City days because of its breathable material.  Their collection includes items such as girl dresses, baby rompers, leggings, blankets, maternity for those expecting, and more!

Is there anything more endearing than a well-designed garment for a young one?  I really love seeing interesting and different clothing designs for kids.  As soon as I discovered Happy Green Bee clothing line, I was completely mesmerized.  The gender-free, bright colored organic clothes are created with such quality. I am ecstatic over the look of each garment.  The pumpkin tights for boys and girls are one of the most adorable things I’ve seen from kids apparel.  I will have my son sporting these in the winter!  I was given the ribbed tank top and matching bottoms for my son and love them!  I just want to smother him with kisses and hugs because he looked so cute in them!  Many of you know by now that I am a huge supporter of lines that are organic and who’s agenda includes caring for our planet.

Happy Green Bee is designed from the maker of Burt’s Bees, Roxanne Quimby.  “As a mother, designer, and lifelong environmentalist, Roxanne saw a void in children’s clothing wear and a lack of awareness of the benefits of organic cotton. Thus she began to “sew” the seeds of her newest venture – happygreenbee, an all organic cotton clothing line created specifically for kids.”

I really love the Happy Green Bee line and I hope you do too!

Happy Green Bee is giving DMLI readers 15% off the order (excluding factory store items) and is good through 9/13/09.  Coupon code:

How refined is your baby’s palette?  If its not quite there yet, it will be after experiencing popular chef, Tyler Florence’s sprout baby food!  As a health conscious mother and bit of a health food fanatic, I was very receptive to sprout baby!  It is incredibly tasty, healthy, and best of all organic.  It was created out of a desire for flavorsome baby food made with wholesome ingredients.

Sprout baby food comes in two stages, 1 and 2 ranging from 6 and 7 months and older. The food varies from roasted apples and blueberries to Yukon potatoes and Parmesan.  Not only are these hearty but also incredibly scrumptious.  The oatmeal with roasted apples smelled so delicious, that I had to try it myself.  All their baby food is free of preservatives, artificial colors and flavors.  In addition, they provide choices of pouches that are sensitive to certain food allergens such as diary or wheat.  I happen to be gluten free so I was able to snack on a few pouches myself.

You can purchase an assortment of food pouches from Sprout Baby.  The website carries a mixture of healthy, eco-conscious baby products.  As a very fastidious mother, I can say that the items this site carries are fabulous and well selected.

Sprout Baby has offered one of our readers a month membership to sprout baby, which includes a month supply (60 pouches) of baby food! To enter, simply visit Sprout Baby and leave a comment on this post.  For additional entries:

Since the age of seven, I have dealt with numerous allergies.  I started getting two allergy shots a week as a child just to help reduce these reactions.  While some of these aversions have diminished or disappeared with time, I am still ultra sensitive to soaps and cleaners that have harsh chemicals and potent scents.  Because of my sensitivity, I can tell instantly if a cleaner has these properties.  I have found a cleaning line of products that is sensitive to my allergies and safe for children-Fields Organics!

Fields Organics is a modern line of organic, non-toxic, household cleaners for homes and are especially child friendly.  The collection is plant based, phosphate-free, PH balanced, and biodegradable.  They come in a range of cleaners such as toy, floor, multi-surface, laundry detergent, and  children’s hand soap.

The toy cleaner happens to be one of my favorites.  I entertain many little guests so I am constantly cleaning my son’s toys.  The toy cleaner helps me feel better about ridding of the countless germs these toys withstand on a daily basis.  Some of its ingredients include coconut, palm and jojoba oils, natural spring water, and botanical oils.  I feel safe using products that are certified organic and designed with the health and safety of little ones in mind.

After learning about the Moroccan line Zid Zid, I was completely impressed by the overall achievement of this company.  Everything from design, to manufacturing is done with perfection.   It’s no wonder they have received so much prestigious media attention! First and foremost they hold to the belief that fair trade is the only trade.  —Um, yes!  They are recognized as a leading artisan in the Kingdom of Morocco.  All their material is sourced locally and recycled fabrics are used throughout the line.  And most importantly, all of their fabrics are chemical and phalate-free. When I received the hand made 100% all natural leather silver poof I was instantly impressed with the features.  It had substance and the stitching and seams were designed and crafted with precision. Each one has some interesting embroidered illustration that spurs on imagination. Zid Zid’s poofs are versatile to anyone’s household. You can purchase one based on the décor of your room.  The silver poof is used in my living space as an ottoman and chair.  My son finds great pleasure in using it to roll around on and as leverage for standing.  These are so much fun to have around the house when entertaining little guest.   And, most of all, it’s nice having pieces in my apartment that are made with excellence, functional, and fashionable!  You can purchase one of these from $78.00 to $284.00 depending on size and style. Zid Zid has offered one of our readers a mini poof! To enter, simply Zid Zid and leave a comment on this post.  For additional entries:

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.  CONGRATS CANCAN, YOU ARE THE WINNER!

Linen fabrics seem to be finding their way in the use of various everyday textiles.  That was why I was excited to hear about Jurate, a Lithuanian mother who, out of her love for eco-friendly and quality fabrics, came up with Linen Kids.  Most of her apparel is hand-made or incorporates hand made details from various Luthianian designers.  I was given the opportunity to experience Linen Kids’ fluffy terry cloth linen towel.  I was absolutely floored by the softness and luxurious feel of it.  Very few European companies weave terry cloth from linen.  So, I felt extremely privileged to experience such an exceptional article of fabric.

Linen Kids’ informed me of the various benefits of using Linen such as its ability to absorb water up to 150% it’s weight, while also drying much more quickly than cotton towels.  It’s non-allergenic, extremely breathable, antistatic, and resistant to stains.  Best of all, the production process for the Linen Kids line uses every part of the plant, making it very eco friendly!  One of my favorite design aspects of the towel is the linen loop attached at the end for hanging on a door hook.  A simple addition, but truly a useful one!  Please be sure to check out all the other fabulous products this line carries.  Most having a hand-made touch…

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.  CONGRATS SUZIE, YOU ARE THE WINNER!

Squishy Fish is a Canadian owned company that uses 100% certified cotton for their adorable designed onesies and tees for babies and toddlers. I love how simplistic each of the six different designs are. I have the squishy fish logo on my son’s tee and absolutely adore it.

The texture of the tee is incredibly soft due to the organic fabric. Organic cotton is produced using little to no pesticides and most importantly, has a low impact on the environment. It feels great to support lines like Squishy Fish, who aim to be eco-friendly in their pursuit of creating imaginative products. Check out their website to view all six designs Squishy Fish carries.

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.  CONGRATS BREEZY MOM, YOU ARE THE WINNER!

I usually tend to avoid slogan tee shirts for my son because I find most of them to be more than a little over the top and rather corny. Subtle humor and simplistic design combined with organic fabrics makes Little Showoffs stand apart. I adore organic fabrics because the quality is usually much better than synthetic fibers and they are eco-friendly. I have seen pictures of Little Showoffs tee shirts in a couple of magazines and online, and thought I would give them a try. My son has the “organic baby” t-shirt and it has become one of my favorite tee shirts of his. The tee is made from 100% ring spun certified organic cotton in the natural color. This cotton is “noticeably softer and higher in quality than the carded cotton used by others”. There was a difference to be seen and felt when I had my son wear it.
Jacqueline Fair, mother of two, had the passion to create simple and expressive tees for babies, toddlers, and adults that said little showoff expressions. There are various sizes and different colors available with different sayings. Some of my favorites are “still breastfeeding”, “warning I’m two”, and “future artist”. You can also purchase a pair of karate pants for a complete outfit. I look forward to the day I can have another shirt made that says “big brother”!
