Now Available: Arm Bibs at the Children's Museum

Arm Bib sleeve protectors are now available in the art studios of the Children’s Museum!  Pair them up with the Museum’s art smocks and your kids are good to get messy.  Created by a Portland mom, Arm Bibs are the missing mate art-smocks have always needed.  This simple, stretchy sleeve will cover and keep your child’s sleeves out of the way, so she can get to work without you fretting over what her elbows are getting into.  So visit the Museum and test them out, today!

Arm Bibs are American made, they come in hip colors that are sure to make you smile, and they are available online and at area boutiques (for a complete list of boutiques, visit our website).

Obama Change Socks?

My husband and I were walking our 2-year old twins in downtown Portland a week ago and we came up with this funny idea -- make Obama socks!  We just happen to have a good friend who makes world-class socks for Tour de France teams and the like and they can weave virtually anything into socks!!!  So the socks have CHANGE written in white on a blue band on the cuff, with a blue heal and toe, black socks with the face of Obama woven into them. 

If you are ready for a change, vote with your feet and quit running around the bush, and buy a pair at www.obamachangesocks.com  They made them Wednesday in Tennessee and we got a shipment Friday and they are so cool!

Children's Clothing Swap

Do you have children's clothing stacking up in your house?  Do you need some more clothing for your children?  Why not bring them to a clothing swap! 

I have been to many clothing swaps in the past, hosted a couple as well.  I haven't seen any clothing swaps listed for awhile and don't see any coming up either.  If you are interested in swapping clothes in the month of October of November, please contact me (Misty) at: earthfriendlymama {at} gmail {dot} com  I would like to host one in Portland or Vancouver as soon as we can!

La Lu Baby Etsy Store is OPEN!

I am very happy to announce that my little clothing line La Lu Baby is open for business!  Like most mamapreneurs, I caught the creative bug after the birth of my daughter three years ago.  Once I started sewing, slowly La Lu Baby was born.  Your local support and kind words made me decided to open a cute little Etsy store to sell my duds.  If you are not familiar with Etsy already, please check it out; there are some truly amazing artists out there to support.  Features like "Shop Local" make etsy a great tool to find locally crafted items.

Thanks for reading...
