Colette Kids

I'm so pleased to see more organic clothing options popping up these days for our wee ones! Organic has become more accessible and is certainly more accepted. Anita Lee, who started Colette Kids, has designed a series of minimalistic, eye-popping graphics and printed them on organic onesies. There is also a series of her fantastic animal graphics printed on non-organic tees -- great colors! Animal designs are all we wear around our house these days, so these would be an instant hit...

Organic Teething Bonbon

All I can say is...I wish I had these Organic Teething Bonbons just a year ago. I can only imagine how wonderful these would have been during those days (weeks) of discomfort as C's teeth were cutting through. It is perfectly described here: "What could be more fun and helpful than a teething soother that’s free of plastics and brings to mind French sweets?" (Yes! French sweets!) Each bonbon is made of 100% organic cotton and filled with naturally anti-bacterial wool. The knotted ends are to be frozen so your baby grasps the warm, dry center of the bonbon -- avoiding the drippy mess of melting washcloths. I love it...

Introducing: Hazel Wood Children

Today was one of those days where I was a little uncertain of what I was going to write about. I had a few things up my sleeve but nothing that felt very compelling. That was, until I checked my inbox and found a lovely email from Jennifer of Hazel Wood Children, a new online children's store that's quite compelling and worth celebrating. Jennifer has pooled together a unique range of designers, small businesses, artists and craftsmen with an overarching philosophy of environmental consciousness (yes, including lots of organic products!). You will discover things that you have probably never seen before (I certainly did) and find items exclusively made for Hazel Wood -- note the adorable coats pictured below. Great products and great philosophy, this is my kind of store! Thanks Jennifer.
