I am not sure what is going on with these two but lately they are becoming inseparable. Eli is constantly around BJ. At night he will visit him in his room and just stare at the crib like he is waiting for BJ to come out and play. When BJ is crawling around Eli will just follow him. These two boys are becoming the best buddies.

I can remember when earth friendly clothing and accessories ment hemp and scratchy and uncomfortable. Eco-friendly clothing has come along way since the hemp days and now it is both fashionable and comfortable. You can find earth friendly clothing 
made from all kinds of materials including organic cotton, bamboo, and (our old favorite) hemp. I have purchased several items made out of bamboo and have marveled at how soft the products are. Bamboo is also a fabric that can absorb 3-4 times as much water than cotton allowing your skin to be comfortable and not sticky in the hot weather. Bamboo is also a great material to work with because it is one of the fastest growing plants on earth, maturing in only four years compared with the 25-70 years it takes for commercial trees to mature. Bamboo can grow up to 4 feet each day! One great American company that specializes in creating stylish, comfortable clothing made out of bamboo is Bamboosa.
I was very excited to review Bamboosa’s clothing because I have had a lot of clothing made from bamboo before and they are all super soft. Bamboosa sent me their Priya skirt in Merlot Red for me to try out. The Priya is the most comfortable skirt that I have ever worn. It is made from Viscose (from organic bamboo) and Lycra and has two pockets sewed into it. I love having pockets in my skirts to keep my keys or a small wallet in. The skirt is very versatile allowing me to go from work, to the gym (where I change into yoga pants) and back home. I love the red color. It is very vibrant and hasn’t faded after several washings. The fabric is very light and airy making it a great swimsuit coverup. It is long to golf in without wearing shorts underneath which is an added bonus. I can see myself wearing this skirt a lot this summer! If you are looking for a more “green” wardrobe for you, your child, or your spouse please check out the product line that Bamboosa offers. You will love their clothing!
You can purchase eco-friendly clothing from Bamboosa on their website here.
One (1) lucky reader will win a Pryia Skirt of their choice from Bamboosa.

Here is a little glimpse into my Sunday evening routine at my house…. I get a reusable shopping bag out on our dinning room table and spread out a ton of BJ’s clothing and supplies that he will need at daycare for the week. After determining what needs to be packed up, I take out my sharpie and make sure anything that I need to get back has his name written on the label or somewhere noticable. If I don’t label, I won’t get BJ’s stuff back. This process takes me about a half an hour to an hour every Sunday. Not only is it tedious, the labeling doesn’t even look that good. I recently received a product that will help tremendously with my daycare regimen.
Punkaboo is a cute little company that creates waterproof labels, bag tags, cards, and all-purpose labels. These labels can go on just about anything and are fully customizable. Jennifer from Punkaboo sent me a sheet of waterproof labels and a bag tag for labeling BJ’s possessions. I have put these labels and just about everything you can imagine. They are on his sippy cups, bottles, clothing labels, and shoes. I am especially attached to BJ’s shoes (he could care less about them and tries on a constant basis to lose one of them wherever he can) and I have put the labels inside all of his shoes. Doing this has already paid off because someone wanted to give BJ’s shoes to another boy at daycare until she saw the label inside his shoe (I am particularly found of these shoes so I was extremely grateful). The bag tag is a great way to identify a stroller, car seat, luggage, or a diaper bag. I know that I wish all of my kids in kindergarten had one on their backpacks!
I have had great success with the durability of Punkaboo’s labels. I have placed them on sippy cups and BJ’s Munchie Mug that have gone through several dishwashing cycles and they look just as good as when I first applied them. I am very grateful that I no longer have to worry about losing BJ’s shoes at daycare. I can rest easy knowing that what I send to daycare will be returned.

You can purchase waterproof labels, bag tags, cards, and all-purpose labels online at Punkaboo’s website here!
One (1) lucky reader will win 1 Sheet of Small Waterproof Labels, 1 Sheet of Large Waterproof Labels and 2 Bag Tags. Items will be personalized for up to two people.

Ever since BJ joined our family I have found myself cleaning my house way more often than what I used to when it was just me and my husband, especially now that BJ is crawling all over the floor. It is amazing all the things that I have never seen before like the dusty floorboards, or the lint bunnies under the bed. Having a pet (a very large one at that) just compounds the mess that needs to be cleaned up. The problem is that most household cleaners have harmful toxic chemicals in them and I don’t want my son around all of those chemicals. Simple Green has come to the rescue with their Naturals line of products.
Simple Green Naturals are 100% naturally derived, with ingredients originating from nature.
- Naturals are safer, effective products that offer:
- 100% natural ingredient sources
- Non-toxic formulations
- Biodegradable formulations
- No animal testing
- Full ingredient disclosure
- International scientifically accepted ingredient names
- Naturals scents are IFRA compliant and made of 100% natural essential oils & plant extracts
- 100% recyclable PETE plastic bottles with 25%+ post-consumer content, printed with soy inks
- Natural Versus Naturally Derived (taken from website)
I am glad there is a safer option, but do the products work? We were sent the entire Simple Green Natural product line to test in our house and I can say that I was impressed by how well the new formulations work. One of my favorite products that we tested is the Simple Green Naturals Floor Care. This one bottle is safe to use on tile, laminate, and sealed hardwood. We would spray down our hardwood floors with the Floor Care and run our mop over the surface. The floors were cleaned, and I am excited to say they didn’t smell like that other floor cleaner that smells like a pine tree. I personally don’t like the strong smell of pine in my house. The Simple Green Naturals Floor Care was very lightly scented and didn’t make my house smell like a forest. Best of all, I can let BJ crawl all around the house and not have to worry about what chemicals he might be getting all over him.
Included in the Simple Green Naturals Product Line are:
