The best mom's bag ever!

Hi there fellow urbanMamas!  I just joined the team of Naturally Knotty and you'll love these bags!  They've found the perfect balance between fashion and practicality.  The website is www.naturallyknotty.com .  From market totes with pockets that will fit whatever you need them to, to the baby cashmere line (so cute- and it's on Costco.com!).  Personally, I love the market totes.....I can haul anything everywhere and still look good doing it!  Of course, what totally does it,  is that they're made with recycled materials and super durable.  Plus, they're weatherproof, so all the better to brave Portland's rain in!  So, check them out and let us know what you think!  Here's a motherload of ideas :) diaper bag, boat bag, everything bag, gym/fitness/yoga bag, book bag, grocery bag, gift bag, school bag, overnight bag, beach bag....

Free samples of holistic product for kids cough/cold

With sneeze season right around the corner, and given the FDA’s anticipated announcement of banning all cough and cold medicines for children four and under – I wanted to share an all-natural idea with other urbanmamas.

An all-natural, organic remedy that provides relief to children with colds and/or allergies and has been popular in Europe for 75 years is just now being introduced in the United States. It is called Sinupret For Kids and is made by a leading German pharmaceutical company that offers plant-based products: www.BionoricaUSA.com.

If you are interested in holistic remedies and know of other moms who would be as well, please consider sharing some samples with friends, co-workers or family members.

I can get you 30 samples in an easy to transport bag so you can leave it in your car, by your front door or under your desk at work and share them with people as you see them. I will hand deliver samples in late September to those interested. The people giving out the kits will also get some gifts including a book by Dr. Sears (The Healthiest Kid in the Neighborhood: Ten Ways to Get Your Family on the Right Nutritional Track).

I have a 18-month old son, and have been following the news about how dangerous the drug based cold medicines can be, so I am excited that this product is coming to the US. The same company also makes an adult cold/sinus product and you will also get a sample of that in to try out.

I’ll include lots more info below, and am also happy to answer any questions you have. I really need your help getting these samples into our community!

What can parents do to relieve cough and congestion when their young kids catch a cold or flu?
We suggest you try a natural alternative called SINUPRET. This plant-based pharmaceutical grade natural cold and cough medicine has been used in Europe for decades as a primary treatment for kids of all ages, and it just became available in the U.S. Not only does it relieve nasal and chest congestion and help clear out mucus, it also boosts the body's own immune response to infections to help clear them out faster. It comes as a liquid or capsules. For more information visit www.BionoricaUSA.com.

Fabulous Organic Meals Delivered to Your Door

I just tried this amazing service called Building Blocks Foods (http://buildingblocksfoods.com/) and I love it!

I am such a busy mom with running my own biz and my husband is gone two evenings every week so coming home and cooking with a baby and toddler is well, not possible. We usually end up with take out on the nights he is gone…until I found Jon’s site. He delivers dishes that you have selected from his weekly rotating menu. They are vegetarian, organic and ummm, umm good. Such a saver from another night of Thai or pizza. Thank you Jon!
