Dont miss this one! Barley & Birch Giveaway!

I gotta say - Im in love with Barley & Birch.
If you visit their website...
http://www.barleyandbirch.com
You will see that its modern clean and bright, just like their products.
At the top of EACH page is a different adorable baby spreading the green word...
such as:
"Owen didnt sweat the big bad wolf, it was deforestation that kept him up at night"
"Luisa had plenty of milk. Still, she worried about the world's supply of fresh drinking water."
Ya know, here @ RockerByeBaby, were not perfect, but Im sure trying.
Inspired by last weeks review we have started cloth diapering part time.
I know I know... part time? Well, I figure its half the diapers in the landfill.
Its gotta be better than nothing, right?
We dont use throw away dishes anymore, at all....
We use reusable bags, and if I can't...
I reuse the plastic one as a trash bag in the bathroom.
For our wedding, I am using trees as my centerpieces...
Not waste, no cut flowers, and afterwards all our family can plant it.

I never used to care until I had kids...
and one day while reading my science book from college...
I read that in the year 2050 fresh water could be like buying gasoline.
Something we take advantage of now...
may not even be there for our kids and grandkids to take a clean bath or shower!!
This is the kind of thing that keeps ME up at night...
What are we doing to our world?
And most of all, what are we doing to our kids?
How can we be good parents when we are destroying their future?
Its time to make a change... its time to take a step in the right direction...
Baby steps...
All of their clothes are made in the USA and 100% Organic cotton...
soft like butter against babies skin...
they also use water-based inks that are gentle on our planet.
and best of all... they're not selfish...
10-30% of all their profits go to organizations to help better our earth.

See how easy it is to help?
Shop, I know you guys are good at it :)
Take a baby step in the right direction, your kids will thank you.
And, look how cute it is! Totally not your typical green wear...
I can't even begin to choose a favorite...
Their t's are awesome...
Bright, colorful, fun...


and it doesnt stop there with Pants, Hats, Tanks and more!



I really want to see these guys succeed in the quest for a greener planet...
Which means, I really want to see YOU GUYS go above and beyond to make this review count.
I want to see lots of tweets, blogs, followers and fans...
Barley & Birch deserve it!

They have been SO generous to let us try out their Monkey's t shirt...
Its so cute... so soft... and perfect for my little Monkeys.
Here's my attempt at a cute Barley & Birch photo :)
Wish it were better quality... but its cute, right!?

Two winners will get a free tshirt this week...

This WEEK! A RockerByeBaby Review!

I feel giving today...
SO!
This week... Free RockerByeBaby!

Im giving away a free set of Japanese Kawaii Booger Bashers!!
They are awesome black with pink and turquoise skull and crossbones on it.
Totally unisex so snatch them up!

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23368646


The listing info :)
So, the boys have a cold...
its horrific... ill spare you the green crusty/slimy details :) haha
But the point here is... their little tiny noses get RAW using tissues...
not to mention were just trashing the environment using a kleenex once and tossing it...
THINK ECO-FRIENDLY!!!

But, I assure you people... there IS a better way...
These have been tested this week...
GROSS NO NOT THESE SPECIFICALLY!!
DIFFERENT ONES!! THESE ARE NEW!!!!!!
and I call them Booger Bashers...
known to others here on etsy as Swipers...
They are little mini tissues... about 4 x 6.5 inches...
with JAPANESE IMPORT KAWAII cotton on one side...
and soft and snuggly on the other...
Wipe with whatever side you choose...
Cotton is still plenty soft... or the other side works just as well...
Same idea as a handkerchief... use it... use it... use it... GOO! then WASH IT!!!
No special rules... wash... dry...
Then go off on your hunt for more Boogers that need Bashing.
You get 2 in a pack... now thats alot of BOOGIES!

Leave me a comment with your favorite new stuff in the shop!
So there ya have it! Review will run until Monday!
2 ways to get extra entries!!
*Buy anything from her and leave us an extra comment telling which awesome bunch of things you bought...
(Her stuff is SOOOO affordable, I really hope to hear about some purchases this week!!!)

Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy Threads!! *giveaway*

I cut... I sew... I paint and write poetry... juggle babies... and obsess over the internet...
but when it comes to screen printing... Im at a loss...
I have come up with some great ideas, but never try it...
why? Because shops like Oh Boy Threads would make me look bad!
Their stuff is fantastic...
And my absolute favorite... their skull onesie.
http://www.OhBoyThreads.etsy.com
Stolen from their page because they said it best:
"Our organic infant & toddler tees are 100% certified organic cotton so they're naturally earth-friendly and buttery soft.Your little ones deserve only the best against their delicate skin. With a large rib neck for easy on/off, you'll enjoy the convenience of these tees too."
When she says buttery soft, its no joke...
I didn't realize how amazing Organic cotton is.
But its good for the earth, and the softest you can get...
I want a skullie t in mommy size :)
Plus, they wear and wash amazingly...
I tossed it in the machine in cold water
(Using my environmentally friendly laundry soap... YAY!)
Threw it on a hanger to dry
(and save electricity, because Im becoming a hippie)
and there ya have it... clean baby shirt :)
So like I said... Oh Boy Threads would make me look bad...
When I paint on t's or onesies... its very basic.
Stencil, paint & paintbrush... ta-da!!
But noooo... Oh Boy Threads has to show me up...
better than anything I could ever do...
Their skullie onesie has 2 layers...
rows and rows of skulls from top to bottom...
and then one big skull and bones over top.
In WHITE none the less!
How do they do it!?
I dunno... but lets leave it to the pros...
cuz whatever they do.. however they do it...
they do it perfectly.
I mean... look...
how cute is this shirt on this little man...

Adorable!
So adorable I bet you want one too...
Well, seeing as this is a giveaway blog...
You got one too!!
BEtter odds this week!
They gave us two to give away!!
Two awesome tops from Oh Boy Threads...
A 6 months Eco-Skullie onesie...

ANDDD a 12 months Fortune cookie tshirt!
It looks like the picture below...
but says You will sleep through the night soon!!
