(Baby)Legs for Days!

While I was pregnant, I heard a lot about BabyLegs. They look like little legwarmers that go on (duh!) your baby's legs to cover them from ankle to hip without pants, and mommies everywhere are freakin' nuts about them! I oscillated between thinking that they were cute and thinking that they were weird-looking (as I saw one girl on a message board say, "They look like colorful leg casts!").

When I decided to order an adorable flowery pair for the daughter of a friend, I found myself tossing in a boyish striped pair for my son, just to check them out. They arrived last week, and let me tell you, they have been life changing. When I first put them on the little guy, my husband raised an eyebrow, making some comment about how he looked like he was an extra from Flashdance. "Just wait until the first diaper change," I told him.

Sure enough, when it came time to change the next diaper, the hubby was an instant convert. Something about going straight to unsnapping the onesie and skipping the wrestling match that comes with removing and replacing little pants won him (and me) over. He even asked how soon we could get more pairs. Which brings me (albeit the long way) to the purpose of today's post: I found that Babylegs now come in an organic flavor! So now you can cover those little legs and be Green at the same time! Check 'em out at the BabyLegs store.

Here We Go (Green)!

Green Mommy Guide is up and running! Its been a lot of hard work and research to go from a new mom who knows nothing about starting a website to a new mom who knows nothing about running a website…with a website!

The idea came about when I wanted to find eco-friendly and natural options for products I use with my new baby boy. Something about seeing (and smelling!) his new baby skin made me go a little crazy with trying to keep it as pure as possible. It wasn’t long before I figured out that organic and chemical-free was the way to go. Good. Decision Made. The End…right?

Nope! After what seemed like 5,000 Google searches into the topics of homemade organic baby food, cloth diapers, green and organic baby clothes, and natural cleaning products, I rubbed my bloodshot eyes, and went to bed, muttering something to my husband about how there should be a website that had all of this info in one place.

I woke up in the middle of the night with a crazy thought: I should start that website! And so began this crazy journey. I am so proud of the finished product, and I only hope other people enjoy it and find it useful, too!
