New Moks by Scandeez

I just opened up a box of Moks by Scandeez - soft-soled leather baby shoes made with recycled leather.

We got in more of the ever-popular Paw style, with brown uppers


And two new styles:

Elephant with grey upper


and Llama with blue upper


These Moks are hand-made by Connie Jensen in Texas and Nebraska. The leather used has been independently tested and found to be non-toxic - No lead feet on your babies!
The Moks can be purchased here - for a limited time, get free shipping on all orders!

Eco-Stiletto mentions Harper Reed's Color Theory Bean Bags!

I always love when one of our designing mamas gets a shout - especially from well-read and thoroughly entertaining EcoStiletto!

EcoStiletto bridges the gap between being eco-concious and fashion-fabulous... yes, ladies and gentlemen. You CAN do both!

Natasha Garber mentioned the Color Theory Bean Bags by Harper Reed on EcoStiletto - we appreciate the mention!

Sweetbeets Letterpress Art Cards

I call these "art cards" because they really do show like art. They're beautiful, not just in the sweetness of the image, the harmony of the colors, the texture of the hand-pressed print... but the emotions they evoke. These give me glimpses into my childhood, into my children's daily lives; moments I want to hold onto forever.

Might I suggest giving a matted 8x10 frame along with this card to your gift recipient - an instant piece of nursery art!

Three styles are available now at theOutfit shop in Long Beach.

Sweetbeets Cards are hand-made in Canada on recycled paper using eco-friendly inks. Mother and artist Liza Zuraw also has a great blog: ModEcoKids.com - a very fun read.

Organic Veggie Patch T's

Puddlefoot is owned and operated by Suzi MacDougall in Oxnard, CA.

Printed on ultra-soft organic baby-rib cotton t-shirts using natural dyes and water-based inks.

My personal favorite is the Sweet Beet style!

Asher Parran in the Trike Tee

We spent our Spring Break visiting family in Cincinnati - it was so great to be back in the old 'hood, and visit my friend of - count 'em - 25 years, Prari and her son Asher. Asher was very handsome sporting an original design by theOutfit!

That Asher, he stole our hearts!

Robot Robot Nice To Meet You.

My kids love to play "robots" - much to our delight! Mark and I have a little love-history with robots. There was a time when the only tapes (yes tapes, this was awhile ago) and records (remember those?) we listened to were Man Or Astroman?, Servotron, and Supernova.

So when when Emmett rigidly walks about saying "Robot. Robot. Nice To Meet You." we get all warm and fuzzy inside.

These shirts by LuCoo kids were a quick personal purchase from the Outfit! And they are in constant rotation.

Lookin Good, BabyBots!
