Hello everyone!!

How I have missed sharing posts with you. Life definitely rolls in ebbs and flows. The last 6 months have been a whirlwind but within these last months, several great events and experiences were had! On July 24/25, 2009, I attended my first homebirth. It was an incredible experience to watch a fierce woman, full of grace and focus, gently welcome her adorable son into the world with her loving support husband.  I will definitely share elements about my experience later.

Among several branding and design projects, I have been also been working on a very dear project under Verte the last several months, Be the Light Be the One. BTLBTO is an online emporium where you can find tools and resources for conscious change. It is the brand’s hope is to be a source of reflection and inspiration as we build community, support meaningful connections and create new possibilities for ourselves and the world. BLBTO also carries a collection of “Products with Purpose” for all ages and backgrounds.  Check out these adorable 100%  organic onezees. They come from fair-trade sources, have nickel-free snaps and are made with a non-toxic dying process.  Short sleeved onezees are $25 and long sleeved are $30. Check out the matching adult and youth tee’s as well.

 If you are also in need of a resource to purchase any of these birthing documentary gems, you can find them as well at the Be the Light Be the One website.

Again, I am glad to be back. Many new wonderful things are around the corner as I wait for the phone call for my next birth. Any day now!!!

Many blessings and joy to all you amazing parents and viewers.

Prince Lionheart just unveiled the release of their new Warmies® Wipe Warmer. It is the first and ONLY baby wipes warmer available on the market created for use with eco-friendly reusable baby wipes. The warmer can accommodate all standard baby wipes, but it was designed in mind with the company’s line of 100% reusable bamboo cloths, Warmies®. In addition to being washable and reusable, the wipes are naturally anti-bacterial, un-dyed and unbleached.

“At Prince Lionheart we listen to the concerns and wants of parents and create innovative new products to fulfill these needs,” said Kelly Griffiths, President and CEO of Prince Lionheart. “Our new eco-friendly baby Warmies Wipe Warmer was created as a response to discerning parents who want environmentally friendly products that their babies love.”

Here are a few of the Warmies® Wipe Warmer’s features:

• Advanced heating and insulation keeps Warmies® just the right temperature
• Molded with an EPA approved antimicrobial additive to inhibit the growth of micro-organisms and bacteria
• Nightlight for nighttime diaper changes
• Includes 4 Warmies®, reusable wipes made from 100% bamboo

“Many new parents can testify to the fussiness that is created by using cold wipes when changing their infant’s diaper,” said Griffiths. “Babies love the warmed, gentle wipes and parents love the fact that our Warmies are reusable, safe for the health of their baby, and good for the environment.”

Amazon.com has just launched its new eco-friendly on-line , The Little Seed. It is in partnership with Soliel Moon Frye, co-owner of LA based baby boutique,The Little Seed. The on-line store specializes in all things eco-friendly for babies and moms.

Here are a few of my favorite picks from the on-line store. I do want to note the major popoularity of this launch. Many of the stock quantities are running low already. Hopefully they’ll be replenished by next week.

Check out these affordable and adorable organic spring finds from Kate Quinn Organics. Most of the garments come in a variety of sizes ranging from infancy to 8 years old. Until March 31st, you can receive free shipping on all orders over $50. As well, you can check out the collection at a variety of retailers across the country. The brand only uses certified organic cotton and all garments have been certified Fair Trade. I will be keeping an eye out for Kate Quinn Organics will soon be releasing a line of women’s clothing sometime this year! The items are reasonably affordable compared to most organic collections. The clothing is simple, fresh and “green”.
