Matching Organic Outfits for Babies and Toddlers

Adorable. Green. Fun. Organic.

The speesees line has created some super cute yet affordable baby and toddler clothes.

I was recently shopping for coordinating outfits for my daughter and nephew for their holiday photo shoot but had a difficult time finding outfits to match.

They also make their bodysuits extra large for bigger babies. My daughter was born at 10 lbs and nephew was 9lbs so finding bigger clothing can be quite a hassle.

The organic cotton is super soft and luxurious and you will feel good about putting it on baby and kid’s skin. Highly recommended and simply adorable! Hurry while their holiday sales lasts.

10 Reasons why Organic Food and Clothing are so Good for you!

1. All Products labeled “Organic” have to meet stringent standards

Organic certification is the public’s assurance that products have been grown and handled according to strict procedures without toxic chemical agents.

2. Organic food tastes great, they smell great and are good for you!

It’s common sense – well-balanced soils produce strong, healthy plants that become nourishing food for people and animals.

3. Organic production reduces health risks

Many EPA-approved pesticides were registered long before extensive research linked these chemicals to cancer and other diseases. Organic agriculture is one way to prevent any more of these chemicals from getting into the air, earth and water that sustain us.

4. Organic farms respect our water resources

The elimination of polluting chemicals and nitrogen leaching, done in combination with soil building, protects and conserves water resources.

5. Organic farmers build healthy soil

Soil is the foundation of the food chain. The primary focus of organic farming is to use practices that build healthy soils.

6. Organic farmers work in harmony with nature

Organic agricultural respects the balance demanded of a healthy ecosystem: wildlife is encouraged by including forage crops in rotation and by retaining fence rows, wetlands, and other natural areas.

7. Organic producers are leaders in innovative research

Organic farmers have led the way, largely at their own expense, with innovative on-farm research aimed at reducing pesticide use and minimizing agriculture’s impact on the environment.

8. Organic producers strive to preserve diversity

The loss of a large variety of species (biodiversity) is one of the most pressing environmental concerns. The good news is that many organic farmers and gardeners have been collecting and preserving seeds, and growing unusual varieties for decades.

9. Organic farming helps keep rural communities healthy

USDA reported that in 1997, half of U.S. farm production came from only 2% of farms. Organic agriculture can be a lifeline for small farms because it offers an alternative market where sellers can command fair prices for crops.

10. Organic abundance – Foods and non-foods alike!

Now every food category has an organic alternative. And non-food agricultural products are being grown organically – even cotton, which most experts felt could not be grown this way.

See girls I am TRYING – I really am. Enlighten me with your organic knowledge before my babies really do have eight heads. See my “When is Earth Day?” post on Feb 23rd 2007  if you are confused.

When is Earth Day again?

I just used my 1000th roll of paper towels today!! Where are the balloons, and confetti and congratulatory host?

Okay really, I think I am single handedly destroying the planet. Let’s totally put aside the vast amount of diapers we are using now that the boys are going through about 20 diapers a day, but I just can’t get down with this organic movement. Well, I can with the whole milk thing cause I really don’t want Avery to be rocking a bra in the second grade, and have a need for a tampon change right before naptime, but in the whole cleaning product department I am so anti something natural. I have this obsession with rubbing alcohol, bleach and all products that are considered unholy by the green people.

It must be the whole being raised by a germaphobe mother or something but I am completely convinced that if the mere scent of a product does not cause my eyes to tear or the smell fails to make me feel like I am going to pass out it is not clean. Sure I could be causing serious brain damage to my children and destroying the very planet that we should be nourishing, but really isn’t that a small price to pay for whiter whites and a pleasant shade of blue suds in my toliet?

(BTW: Product endorsement moment: you ever see Spot Shot in the store? This carpet cleaner is so toxic even its BOTTLE looks like it is out of a 1930s commercial but this can remove ANY kind of stain imaginable. Sure your next baby may have eight heads but really people we are talking CLEAN carpets here…PRIORITIZE.)
