Bloomin' Belly Soaps

2009-04-24T16:24:00.004-05:00

There's a reason for the name, but the products from this company are phenomenal. They are lovingly hand made with all natural ingredients, most of which are certified organic. Choose the formula that meets your needs, or have one created just for you! Skin enriching soaps that are scented with essential oils, not chemical fragrances that can cause more odors than they mask. Try one today. You will never see soap the same again! We also carry natural bug repellents and sunscreens. Summer's almost here!

Ok, I eluded to a reason for the name... well, you'll just have to check out my site for that information!

Prenatal Cradle

2009-04-02T17:35:00.003-05:00

The one thing I liked the most when I was pregnant was for my husband to "hold the baby" for me. He would just gently lift my belly to relieve a little pressure underneath. I could feel it everywhere, from shoulders to knees and ankles. I wish I had found this product BEFORE my pregnancies!! This sounds exactly like what I needed. Prenatal Cradle comes in many different styles to relieve many different areas from stress. Whether one needs a little relief, as I did, or whether one actually needs compression therapy or support for an umbilical hernia, this product has a style to help. Check them out. They are recommended by doctors, nurses, midwives and healthcare professionals.

Organic Cotton and Wool Mattress

This is what started it all. As we started researching organics, we found that the most critical point to organics, in our eyes, was the crib mattress. Countries that have strict standards in their mattresses have little or no incidents of SIDS. If you follow the research, it almost looks as if we're killing our kids with the pesticides and flame retardants that we're using in their mattresses to protect them. It's just incredible.

From our mattress manufacturer, Ecobaby:

"From the largest retailer of crib mattress's website: “The Crib Mattress's top inside layer is Fireblocker, providing gentle sleeping and safety.” We disagree on safety. We know this system contains 10% Boric Acid and 2.4% Antimony. European researchers measured and proved Antimony leaches through vinyl on crib mattresses, and linked this to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). High levels of Antimony were found in the livers of dissected dead human infants. Europe has been moving away from using flame retardants and requires them be proven safe before being used."

Be sure to do some research before you buy your next baby's mattress. We really feel that this is the mattress to bring you and your baby the best night's sleep.
