Organic Robeez!

Did you know that Robeez has organic shoes?  I was so excited when I stumbled across them on their website!  They had several to choose from and at reasonable prices ranging from $21.95-34.95.  I ordered Bishop the Organic Sawyer Sandal in brown. It is made of organic canvas with recycled leather and soles.  Water-soluble dyes are also used.
Here are some of my spring time favorites for little feet...

Organic Coupons & Savings Guide

I've been inspired by the mom on Good Morning America who feeds her family of 6 for only $4 a week due to her incredible coupon clipping skills.  I am truly envious that she is able to save so much money.  I would love to be able to do that but I mainly buy organic and all natural products. 
I have to search hard for coupons because they are unfortunately not as easy to come by.  They are out there though, if you look hard enough.
  
Here are some ways you CAN find  great savings on organic and natural items...


~Buy in bulk!  If the organic cereal you like goes on sale then buy several.  In the long run you will be saving lots of $.


~Consider doing a co-op with friends. Frontier is a great one where you can save lots of $ on spices, food & toiletries.


~Vitacost has great deals on Agave Nectar, Yogi Teas, baby products and name brands like Arrowhead Mills.  I get all my supplements from them too!  


~Follow your local Whole Foods on Twitter. They keep you informed on what's on sale. Be sure to check their website for coupons too. Right now they are offering a calender for $2 that has $30 worth of coupons in it!  The proceeds from it go to charity too!


~Fiddledeedee blog has organic coupon Fridays!


~Check out Mambo Sprouts for printable coupons.


~Join the community of fellow coupon clippers at A Full Cup.  I did a search for organic and found 25 great coupons for brands like Amy's, Annie's and Horizon.



*Check your favorite name brand's website.  The majority of them offer printable coupons.  Here are some that I've found...


~Stonyfield Organic & YoBaby  has online coupons and a great rewards program.


~Pacific Natural Foods makes the best creamy tomato soup!


~Bishop loves his purple carrot juice from First Juice. You can print a coupon every 30 days for $1 off 2 juices.

*I'll be adding to the list as I find more and I would love to hear any tips that you might have too!

Pick Organic!

We all know that eating organic is better for you but it is even more important for your children because of the serious lifelong effects pesticides can have on their developing systems. Yes organic food is more expensive but the way I look at it is you can spend a little extra now and stay healthy or a lot later on medical bills when your facing a serious illness. The environmental working group gives a great explanation below on the importance of feeding our children organic food. If you want a full list that goes beyond the dirty dozen go here. They have also tested to see exactly how many pesticides can be found on conventional fruits and veggies. Peaches were the highest with a whopping 53 pesticides!

"Protecting our families' health from chemical exposures can start with minimizing children's exposure to pesticides. It is now well established that pesticides pose a risk to vital organ systems that continue to grow and mature from conception throughout infancy and childhood. Exposure to pesticides and other toxic chemicals during critical periods of development can have lasting adverse effects both in early development and later in life. The metabolism, physiology, and biochemistry of a fetus, infant or child are fundamentally different from those of adults; a young, organism is often less able to metabolize and inactivate toxic chemicals and can be much more vulnerable to the harmful effects of pesticides. The nervous system, brain, reproductive organs and endocrine (hormone) system can be permanently, if subtly, damaged by exposure to toxic substances in-utero or throughout early childhood that, at the same level, cause no measurable harm to adults. The developing brain and endocrine system are very sensitive, and low doses at a susceptible moment of development can cause more of an effect than high doses. It is especially important to reduce pesticide exposures of babies and young children so as to minimize these risks."
