Even though the label on the bottle reads Fairy Tales Hair Care For Children, once I smelled these amazing products, I knew that my daughter wouldn’t be the only one benefiting from them! To safely remove chlorine, sea salts, minerals and all the other mystery goo that can be found in swimming holes, Fairy Tales Lifeguard Shampoo is the perfect clarifying shampoo. It uses fruit enzymes and citrus extracts, smells good enough to eat and creates a wonderful frothy lather that can clean both thick and fine hair thoroughly and gently. Using the Lemon-Aid Conditioner as a follow up helps to further remove excess add ons that we don’t want lingering in our hair or on our scalp, it also moisturizes and helps undo the chlorine green effect. The CoCo Cabana Leave-in Sun Spray can be used before or after a shower or day at the beach. Fortified with vitamins, minerals and moisturizing oils (coconut, banana extracts and jojoba) this Leave-in spray builds a barrier of protection on your hair keeping it soft, manageable and detangled.

Barley & Birch is dedicated to creating the safest and most environmentally friendly clothing as possible for children. With the planet in mind, they decided to make every single facet of the line carbon neutral, meaning they offset any emissions created in production and shipping. They work with manufacturers and suppliers that are largely powered by solar energy, they use only certified organic cotton and water based inks so that they do not pollute the air, water and our skin with harsh chemicals. Barley & Birch made in the United States and is also largely paper-free, any paper used is 100% post-consumer recycled. Another reason to feel good about supporting Barley & Birch is that they give at least 15% of their profits to a variety of organizations working all over the world to improve the lives of others. They definitely go above and beyond the typical green standards.

Does this all sound too good to be true? Don’t be so negative! Barley & Birch is making great strides and setting a heroic example for others to follow in their teeny carbon footprints, PLUS their clothes are so fun and adorable that parents and children both love to show them off. My all time favorite is the Palm Tank, it goes perfectly with everything in my daughter’s wardrobe and it is so comfy I let her sleep in it too, since sometimes she just doesn’t want to take it off!

Barley & Birch is currently expanding their already great selection to be sure to keep checking back with them at www.barleyandbirch.com to see their latest and greatest.

As soon as this dress arrived in the mail, my daughter has insisted on wearing it everyday. We both love the soft and sustainable fabric, the bright colors and the very happy ladybug. This is the perfect summer dress, it can be worn over a swimsuit on the way to a beach or pool party and to all the weekend barbecues. I know a certain toddler that will be wearing hers to the 4th of July parade and fireworks show this year, the bright and cheerful colors will coordinate perfectly with the fireworks in the sky. Go to www.polkadotpatch.com to purchase this funky Lil Ladybug Party Dress.

Now thanks to WARMABLES we can bring a larger selection of food with us on the go, not just typical ice-box style food. WARMABLES will keep your food warm and ready to eat for 4 to 6 hours. Using the WARMABLES couldn’t be simpler, first you put your food into the BPA-free plastic food storage container. It holds up to 16 oz. of food and does not leak.  It is safe to heat and store meals in this container. Then you heat the cherry pit bag (this is an old trick used before the time of modern heating systems) it helps to keep your child’s lunch warm. Once both the food and cherry pit bag are hot they both go into the WARMABLES pouch, it is the insulator, it is made with layers of various cotton and polyester fabrics which are then lined with nylon. Easy as can be, plus now you can start feeding your kids and yourself healthier lunches all while saving money (not having to buy hot lunch will start to add up!) and saving the planet by producing less garbage and waste which is always a huge bonus.

WARMABLES hosts monthly giveaways on their website, you can enter to win one free WARMABLES for kids set by signing up for their weekly newsletter and then reading it. Each month they will ask readers to answer a question via e-mail, they will then pick a winner from those participants. You can also purchase the kids set at a whole sale rate by sending an e-mail to info@warmables.com and place an order via e-mail. Or you can just visit www.warmables.com and order that way!

Not only are the Solana Swaddle Wraps super soft and breathable, they are also very stylish and versatile. My absolute favorite is the luxurious Stretch Organic Solana Swaddle Wrap in Flower Child, it is safe for the planet and safe for baby, made with fabrics that are produced without the use of any unnatural chemicals or pesticides. It is so comforting to know that you can swaddle your little one up in a “baby burrito” as we call them around here and the baby will sleep more soundly in a blanket that was made with safety and sustainability in mind.

Because Solana Swaddle Wraps are made with fabrics that are so breathable, they are the perfect year round blanket. During the warmer months you can safely swaddle your baby with out worrying about overheating, since babies are unable to regulate their own body temperature. Swaddling your child is recommended for the entire first year of life and once your child had outgrown swaddling, the Solana Swaddle Wraps are still a great blanket for sunshades on the stroller, tummy time mat, nursing cover or toddler blanket because of their large size.

Solana Swaddle Wraps has dozens of great patterns, designs and accessories to chose from. There are swaddle blankets for boys, girls and neutral colors. You can even get coordinating burp cloths and beanies that are super cute, all at www.solanababywear.com.
