You have 4 days to grab an organic baby toy deal on Totsy, a membership shopping site. Miyim's Jane Goodall line is on sale. Prices range from $7.60 - $14.10. The furry friends are made from organic cotton and dyed with plant based materials.

You also support several good causes when you purchase. Miyim donates part of the proceeds to the Jane Goodall Institute to continue her cause, while Totsy plants a tree every time someone makes their first purchase. Sounds like a win-win-win to me!
Shop at Totsy for all your babies and kids needs!

I love Hannah Andersson's pajamas. They are made from organic cotton and they last for as long as your little one fits in them. There's something about their sizing that lets us get quite a bit of use out of them.

This is why they are one of our favorite gifts from Granny each Christmas.
In addition to organic pajamas and underwear, Hannah Andersson makes clothing for the entire family that meets Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification. That means the fabrics, their buttons and zippers have been tested to be free of approximately 100 potentially harmful substances so you can feel better about putting them next to your childrens' skin.
One new thing I discovered on their site is you can coordinate holiday outfits with your family if you desire.

I confess, a major source of my holiday stress is coordinating our outfits for family photos, photos with Santa and holiday parties. So I may just make my life easier this year with Hannah Andersson.
From October 24 - November 13, they are having a sale: Save 20% Off Just About Everything at Hanna Andersson! Oct 24 - Nov 13
So have fun getting ready for the holidays and happy savings.

I know I am. I live in the hot Texas flat lands and that makes for a hot, dry summer.
I am still busy working on your organic baby shopping guides this summer, but I'm also heavily focused the project of finally getting our home organized and decorated in a way that pleases us.
My goal is to have our home reflect all of the wonderful experiences we've had in life (both at home and in our travels) back at us, while at the same time inspiring us to create even more wonderful experiences in the future.
My favorite place on earth is the beach, so I'd like to create such an atmosphere in my home. One that exudes relaxation, calmness and retreat. Coincidentally I got this great email from one of my affiliate partners yesterday, Layla Grace.
They are launching a new collection of home decor by Regina Andrew.

There I find lots of inspiration for making over my living space into the island retreat I long for. Just a few of my favorites are this White Ribbon Coral on Crystal Base accent piece, the Baha Blue Glass Table Lamp, and this Aqua Apothecary Bottle Set.
On top of this, I found a few seashells from our honeymoon buried in a closet that will help me personalize the space. So consider me officially inspired!
What are you up to this summer? Are you lucky enough to be spending all of your days on the beach? Or are you doing your best to create paradise where you are?
Regardless I hope you have a great holiday weekend and create some awesome new holiday memories with your family.
