Last weekend we had our two year old in the emergency room for ingestion of methyl alcohol which can be fatal or cause life long blindness. It was very scary! Thankfully, he was okay after they checked his blood for toxicity and watched him for several hours.

I had purchased a product for my daughters. They love to have their nails painted, but I wanted something that would not be harmful to them. The product I purchased is advertised as non-toxic and natural as mud. It also says that it is not harmful to children and hypoallergetic. I purchased both the nail polish and remover for them.

Apparently, the girls had the remover out of the closet and my little guy thought it was a bottle of water. It had no odor to it. I neglected to ever read the ingredients. I went by what the label told me - non-toxic and natural as mud. The poison control center as well as the doctor was stunned by such a label. It actually had a high concentration of fatal methyl alcohol in it!

As a parent, we must always read our labels. Never go by what is advertised! I am a mom that reads every food label and trusted the label of this product that it was safe for our little children. I came out with my organic moses baskets (100% certified organic) just for this reason. Many companies (and there is one in particular that sells a lot of them) advertise organic moses baskets and use polyester in their bedding. It’s ahsame that they do this to parents! In addition, this company recently took some of my original ideas for their own and are now selling them to other companies. It’s terrible that this happens. In addition to selling things that are cheaply made (and without organic materials), they are now also taking ideas of mine (but making cheapened products) and put a picture up of an organic moses basket that looks almost identical to mine.

Always know your ingredients and be on the lookout for cheaply made imitations as well. Unfortunately, many companies are out there to make money and not as interested in the safety of our children.

Our new Amish organic moses basket just came in the mail today - straight from Amish country and it is beautiful! Everything is organic - handmade here in the USA and woven/created by the Amish. We are so pleased with it and excited to offer it very shortly. Even the wood we sourced is grown right here in the USA and is from a renewable forest. The wood has never been sprayed or grown with any chemicals! We are very happy to also be supporting the Amish community. They are old order Amish that do not even use electricity and weave the baskets to support their families. Now when you purchase a basket, you know that there is no chance of it being sprayed when it comes into the country. You can also have your babies basket signed and dated and have their name written on it!! What a wonderful heirloom piece - I am so excited about it! I want to have a baby again!

Are you suffering from infertility?  Look at the foods you are eating!  I recently became aware (since my son’s diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes and my thyroid disease) that gluten is a suspect!  Gluten (from wheat) can really do a lot of damage if you have any allergy or sensitivity to it and it is in soooo many foods we eat daily from dressings to tomato sauce, soups etc..! I was never aware that it was hidden in so many foods until recently! There is even a correlation to Celiac disease if you have autoimmune thyroid disease.  Simply removing gluten from your diet can make you better!  Having taken my son off of wheat gluten, he no longer has awful tummy aches. It’s really amazing!

We will soon make available our hand woven organic Amish baskets made right here in the USA!  I am soo excited to make the announcement!  Everything on the basket is organic - absolutely no chemicals sprays and all made from renewable wood here in the USA.  Other baskets (even if they are advertised as organic and made from natural fibers) always risk the chance of being sprayed at any point when coming into the U.S.  There are no guarantees with imports. I’ve spoken at great length to many manufactures as well as suppliers about this topic. In addition, these will all be hand signed and dated and the baby’s name can also be added to the basket (lovingly woven for…).Please check back often on our web site:
