Organic products on the increase in the United States

Monday, February 19th, 2007

In the year 2006, organic products became more and more popular.  As many have heard, even Walmart is beginning to carry organic foods.  Organic foods not only became more mainstream, but there has been more and more demand for organic foods.  More farms moved toward organic agriculture as well and organic farming is a more prominent subject in higher education and research.   To read more about latest organic news, please see the link below from the O’Mama Report:  http://www.theorganicreport.com/pages/354_latest_organic_news.cfm

This is wonderful news!  Organic products are the best thing for our families.  They are much healthier and and better for our environment.  Even in our store, you will find most items for both moms and babies to be organic.  We truly believe that organic clothing, organic skin care and organic bedding in addition to organic food is the best thing we can give to our little ones. 

If there is ever a product that you would like us to include, we would love to hear about it.  You must also check out our baby gift registry.  Moms love receiving organic baby clothing and organic skin care for their baby!  It makes them feel good about what they are receiving and using on their little ones.

 

 

 

 

In the news today - Omega 3 oil during pregnancy increases a babies IQ!

Saturday, February 17th, 2007

Today they finally came out with evidence that use of Omega 3 oil during pregnancy helps increase the babies IQ.  Thankfully, I have been using fish oil as well as flax oil in the last four pregnancies.  I really believe it makes a difference!  In addition, I have never had a stretch mark (unusual for four babies I was told today) and it makes for beautiful and elastic skin.  As moms know, pregnancy has a way of stretching our skin! :-)

 

Baby “tummy” photo and Belly casting kits

Saturday, February 17th, 2007

We are getting ready for baby number four and the due date is coming quickly!! The due date is February 25th.

Today, I had a belly photo done and it was a lot of fun!  My children were all in it and it was precious!  I had it taken by a local photographer that we use each year for our Christmas photos.

In the next few days, I also plan on doing my belly cast with a pregnancy belly casting kit.  I did one for our little girl, Rachel (now two) and it turned out beautiful.  I would like to do one again and maybe even have the children paint it!  They would love it! It would be a lot of fun for them and that way they would also be taking part in this wonderful occasion.

If anyone is interested in finding out what a belly casting kit is, please see the following link. I loved the idea of having a belly cast to keep forever that I had to purchase them for my customers. They make great baby shower gifts. The one I carry is by Eternal Maternal.  If you let me know you read it on my blog, I would also be happy to give you a discount. :-)   I have to put up my belly cast as soon as it is done for you to see!

We still do not know if it is a boy or girl, but we are deciding on the names now.
