It just so happens I have a holiday booked to the northern rivers of NSW (before the opportunity to buy babyjo had even come up ;). Upon arrival I was very excited to discover bamboo – is everywhere! Bamboo certainly is not growing in my local Blue Mountains town in NSW.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">The gorgeous house @ Bangalow we rented was called <a href="http://www.bangalowescape.com.au/">Bungalow3</a> (divine plus!) and even had a bamboo fence or 2 and a bamboo tree outside the window :) I took that as a very good omen on arrival.<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">A bit of research on my holiday (thanks to google and some phone calls), means I have discovered that Australia actually has about 5 species of native bamboo . . so perhaps my dream of using Australian bamboo for babyjo isn’t such a pipe </span><span lang="EN-US">dream after-all . . . It makes much more environmental sense to support local industry and get the resource as locally sourced as possible.<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">My love of Bamboo and passion to find a resource that is sustainable, has taken me on a search of bamboo forests across the northern rives.

I find that Christmas is a time where we really are<br />speaking with our wallets, and thus it is so important that we buy<br />carefully.<br />So often a gift is bought just for the sake of something to give. I<br />feel that if you are stuck for what to buy something, it is best to<br />donate on their behalf instead. I have some young cousins who are<br />really difficult to buy for and in the past I have used the TEAR and<br />OXFAM websites which have many choices available such as "buying"<br />school supplies for children, mosquito nets, or a chook for a<br />family. Greenpeace is another good one where you can donate money to<br />protect rainforests. Orangutans.com.au offer "cards-for-a-cause" and<br />a search of the internet will find you many similar options.<br /><br />My immediate family do a Kris Kringle where the gift has to have cost<br />nothing (being a farming family, we are conscious of the environment<br />and do not like to waste money just for the sake of giving a gift).<br />This year I have made my brother a photo album from cereal boxes<br />decorated with scraps of paper and copies of his baby photos with a<br />bit of writing about him. My sister is going to help my mum paint<br />her house and my mum is brilliant at making things from wood so i am<br />sure to get something great from her.<br /><br />My Mum's relatives come up with a gift swapping game, where we all<br />put one gift into the centre. we then take turns to either chose a<br />gift from the pile, or to steal one off another person. This year,<br />the gifts that we have to put in must be something that we have at<br />home, but no longer use. i have plenty of things i can put in!<br />My dad's family too, have adopted this idea. we have our Christmas<br />gathering the weekend before Christmas and this year I will be sure<br />that I put in only environmentally friendly gifts - a notepad made<br />from post consumer recycled paper and a pen from<br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.goinggreensolutions.com.au">www.goinggreensolutions.com.au</a><br />Some of my other favourite sites are <a href="http://www.biome.com.au/">www.biome.com.au </a>and<br /><a href="http://www.todae.com.au/">www.todae.com.au</a><br />I recently bought my kids a little solar car from<br />Todae ($12) which is great to teach them about energy.<br />I have been searching for great gifts for my kids and for the<br />children of my best friend and have come across many wonderful<br />sites.<br />My favourites being<br /><a href="http://www.ecotoys.com.au/">www.ecotoys.com.au</a><br /><a href="http://www.honeybeetoys.com.au/">www.honeybeetoys.com.au</a> and<br /><a href="http://www.thetribestore.com.au/">www.thetribestore.com.au</a><br /><br />My kids favourite toys are organic wooden "anamalz" and each birthday<br />and christmas we add something to their collection.<br />"greentoys" make some wonderful items including a tea set made from<br />recycled plastic bottles (their range can be found at<br /><a href="http://www.ecotoys.com.au/">www.ecotoys.com.au</a>)<br /><br />"Boon" make bath toys that are bpa free and do not have holes in the<br />bottom to allow toys such as ducks to fill up with yucky water which<br />is then drunk by cheeky children. They also have some innovative<br />bath toys such as a ring toss game.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.ecotoys.com.au/product-thumbs/IMG_0756-sm.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 140px; height: 120px;" src="http://www.ecotoys.com.au/product-thumbs/IMG_0756-sm.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />My favourite new item that I am looking at for my own children is the<br />rainbow nesting blocks from <a href="http://www.ecotoys.com.au">www.ecotoys.com.au</a>. these are brightly<br />coloured blocks in various shapes - square, triangle and crescent -<br />that can be stacked in any way that you can think of. I love these<br />sorts of toys for kids as it gives them a chance to really use their<br />imagination. The blocks are made from environmentally friendly<br />rubber wood. I know that I can trust ecotoys and that they only<br />stock good quality, environmentally friendly products. For this<br />reason, I have passed their website on to family who are looking at<br />what to buy for my children.<br />I also saw an idea of making your own Christmas bonbons by using<br />toilet rolls. I have found some great little things that can fit<br />inside a toilet roll - wooden pencils from "Save the children" and<br />some organic lip balm. I also have some brilliant family jokes to<br />put inside. but i wont be sharing those here!<br />Finally, there is nothing better after a christmas lunch that to have<br />a great conversation with your relatives while you wash the dishes<br />(no need for disposable plates and cutlery).<br />So, this year, lets all give the earth a Merry Christmas and a Happy<br />New Year by making our purchases carefully."<br /><br />Thanks Shellie for sharing this special post with us - It sounds as though you will be enjoying a wonderful Christmas with your beautiful family!<br />Jo.........Babyjo Eco Baby Wearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13342483051030958258noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661112766959233071.post-52130031682819844382010-08-26T01:53:00.000-07:002010-08-26T02:18:41.742-07:00About three things I was absolutely positive....... First, winter was in full swing. Second, there is a part of me that absolutely adores hats of shape and kind. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with bamboo!<br /><br />You could be forgiven for thinking I am in a Twilight-induced-blog-posting-haze, however this is NOT the case. I have just found out that my good friend Simone over at <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.monkeycaboose.com.au">Monkey Caboose</a> has some totally divine winter hats made from....... (you guessed it) BAMBOO!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.monkeycaboose.com.au/store/comersus_advancedSearchExec2.asp?stext=&idsupplier=44">Zooni Mop Top</a> bamboo hats feature one-of-a-kind designs that are guaranteed to turn heads! Each hat is hand knit with love and care from custom made bamboo yarn. Lined with soft fleece or jersey, these hats provide maximum warmth and comfort for your child.

<br />Babies around the world are loving Babyjo Bamboo - so why not share the secret with your friends & family & benefit when sales are made.
<br />Similar to a “Tupperware” party, however carried out online, we are proud to offer Babyjo e-parties to our valued customers and friends.
<br />
<br />The rewards are fantastic, and easily achievable - simply share the details with your friends and family, then sit back and relax!
<br />What a fantastic way to add to your existing range of Babyjo (or make a start for a new arrival) and offer your little one the most beautiful, organic clothes & blankets imaginable!
<br />We've kept it as simple as possible, and there is very little for the "party panda" to do - all material and information is supplied - you just need to find the friends to join the party!
<br />

Firstly, I must apologise for my lack of blogging of late.<br />
Ok - I will be honest - It has a little to do with the onset of winter and desperately wanting to curl up on the couch and stay cosy, a little bit to do with being busy finalising and receiving our latest range of 2 layer bamboo blankets and beanies, and a LOT to do with becoming obsessed with the Twilight Saga..... Strange, I know. I must be about a year or more behind the rest of the world (and I abstained for as long as I did as I KNEW that I would get "sucked into it") but in reality, when the bug bit - it bit hard!<br />
I found myself neglecting work, neglecting the family and walking around trying to cook, clean and sleep with a book under my nose. Addictive is the only word - I read all 4 books in just over a week and a bit (plus 264 pages of Midnight Sun online) and am now just starting Breaking Dawn (the fourth book) for the second time..... Yes - I probably will just finish it tomorrow and then pick up the first book and start all over again, but for now, I am content to just hang out on the couch and read, read, read!<br />
That being said, my reading obsession was interrupted on Friday (thankfully) by the arrival of our shipment of stock for this winter. I wanted to go a bit brighter, a bit bolder and a bit funkier - so <a href="http://www.babyjo.com.au/store/pc/Little-Akai-Red-striped-Bamboo-Blanket-4p104.htm">Little Akai </a>and <a href="http://www.babyjo.com.au/store/pc/Little-Apple-Blossom-Bamboo-Blanket-4p105.htm">Little Apple Blossom</a> have joined our range of blankets, and Natural Eco has made a stunning return (as it was ever so popular and sold out far too quickly).<br />
<br />
With thanks to a gorgeous friend of mine and her beautiful bub (not to mention her husband who takes fantastic photos) - we captured the little man (below) testing out the new range!<br />
<br />
<br />
(- <a href="http://www.babyjo.com.au/store/pc/Little-Apple-Blossom-Bamboo-Blanket-4p105.htm">Little Apple Blossom 2 layer bamboo blanket</a> and beanie set) and below (my favourite) <a href="http://www.babyjo.com.au/store/pc/Little-Akai-Red-striped-Bamboo-Blanket-4p104.htm">Little Akai 2 layer bamboo blanket</a> and beanie set.... What a cutie our little model is!<br />

So.... It wasn't an entirely unproductive few weeks (chuckle chuckle) - I did manage to get a lot done, even with my "diversions" that I am sure a few of you could relate to! Righty-O, I have a book to read...........</div>

Our friends over at <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.monkeycaboose.com.au">Monkey Caboose</a> have done it again - just arrived, the <a href="http://www.monkeycaboose.com.au/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=925">Lunch Punch</a> makes lunchtime and sandwiches fun!<br /><br />Speaking from experience, my 3 year old just won't move past the good old Vegemite sandwich (and even then, she usually pulls the 2 pieces apart, licks off the Vegemite and then leaves the rest!) - not the most nutritious lunch and frustrating for me, as sandwiches can be healthy, interesting and nutritious (not to mention fast and easy to make and take on the run). She is a fantastic "eater" and is happy to much away on most healthy food, she just WONT touch sandwiches for some weird reason.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.monkeycaboose.com.au/_skin/images/prods/orig/Puzzlep.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 357px;" src="http://www.monkeycaboose.com.au/_skin/images/prods/orig/Puzzlep.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Enter - The <a href="http://www.monkeycaboose.com.au/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=925">Lunch Punch</a>, an interesting "tool" to add to your parenting toolbox. I was lucky enough to road test one from <a href="http://www.monkeycaboose.com.au/">Monkey Caboose</a>, and I am so impressed. I have never managed to get my little one to eat a full ham sandwich (baby steps here, I will work up to salad and chicken/avocado etc) - but hey presto! The <a href="http://www.monkeycaboose.com.au/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=925">Lunch Punch</a> made the cutest 4 piece puzzle which took her attention and made it plenty of fun - she seemed to forget that she doesn't eat ham sandwiches, and ended up eating the lot AND asking for another puzzle. (I have always loved that she will eat the crusts of her toast and vegemite sandwiches, however the <a href="http://www.monkeycaboose.com.au/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=925">lunch punch</a> does remove these, so I had to just go with it and see!)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.monkeycaboose.com.au/_skin/images/prods/full/gpuzzle.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 267px;" src="http://www.monkeycaboose.com.au/_skin/images/prods/full/gpuzzle.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />With 4 "punches" in each box, you can make one Monster puzzle (great for if you are feeding multiple mouths at the same time) or you can have 4 smaller size puzzles in varying forms. For just $12.95, I highly recommend trying this one out for a bit of fun - great for fairy bread at a party too - make the giant puzzle, and watch them have some fun!<br /><br />**Disclaimer - Yes, you WILL end up "punching" out your own sandwich into a puzzle - it can't be helped.

They stock clothing for eczema sufferers (clothing designed with in-built mitts to help children stop scratching), along with our luxuriously soft bamboo baby wear which is great for eczema management. Other products include organic cotton gloves, sensitive-skin sunscreen, wet wrap garments, asthma spacers, allergy shampoo and conditioner, laundry care, organic cotton underwear, eczema cream, allergy-friendly toys, fragrance and chlorine free/biodegradable nappies and more...<br /><br />Due to bamboo being fabulous for eczema management, I often get asked for things such as scratch mits and wet wrap garments, so it is great to be working with Kerrie and to be able to refer these customers on. It is often hard to find what you need when your child has severe eczema or allergies, however Kerrie has sourced the best from around the globe and presents it all beautifully in their online store.<br />Here are a few of my favourites:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.theallergyshop.com.au/categories/Organic-Cotton-Underwear/"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 138px; height: 138px;" src="http://www.theallergyshop.com.au/product_images/w/girls_brief_stripes___26779_thumb.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Organic cotton briefs ($15.00)</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.theallergyshop.com.au/categories/Organic-Cotton-Underwear/"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 149px; height: 149px;" src="http://www.theallergyshop.com.au/product_images/p/unisex_singlet_stripes2__64946_thumb.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"> and singl</span><span style="font-size:78%;">et ($19.00)</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.theallergyshop.com.au/categories/Sunscreen/"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 155px; height: 155px;" src="http://www.theallergyshop.com.au/product_images/g/wotnot_sunscreen__03603_thumb.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"> Sunscreen for eczema /sensitive skin </span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.theallergyshop.com.au/products/EnviroDiscs-chemical-free-washing.html#"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 133px;" src="http://www.theallergyshop.com.au/product_images/a/envirodisc2__23486_thumb.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:78%;">EnviroDiscs<br /><br /></span><br />I particularly love the EnviroDiscs and hope to try these out one day - similar to soap nuts, you simply pop them in your wash instead of using chemicals or liquid - and "voila" - (here is some more detailed information)<br /><br />EnviroDisc replaces harsh washing detergents with reusable chemical free washing discs.<br />- Allergy free and anti-bacterial (killing bacteria such as E.coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Klabsiella pneumonia)<br />- Chemical free and non-toxic<br />- Environmentally friendly<br />- Highly economical (saves more than 50% of the cost over conventional laundry detergents)<br />- Cleans and softens the fabric but does not add fragrance<br />- Suitable for top and front loading washing machines and easy to use<br />- Lasts up to 700 washes for top loaders and 500 washes for front loaders<br />- Water from the wash can then be used on the garden<br /><br />For more information visit <a href="http://www.theallergyshop.com.au/">www.theallergyshop.com.au</a> or phone 0432 237 477 to speak with Kerrie.Babyjo Eco Baby Wearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13342483051030958258noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661112766959233071.post-3392706065369732292010-01-13T01:43:00.001-08:002010-01-13T02:25:55.554-08:00In the beginningThis being our month of birthday festivities, I thought I would celebrate by sharing some of our wonderful stockists and previewing their beautiful stores.

Erin Edwards turned her back on the corporate life when she settled down just over two years ago to have her first child with husband of five years, Cameron. Being away from the concrete jungle gave Ms Edwards the opportunity to make her family’s life more environmentally friendly.</p> <p> Already a strict vegetarian, Ms Edwards started growing her own produce in the back yard of her home. But it was while raising her two children, Alice (2) and 10-month-old Oscar, that she discovered how difficult it was to find eco-friendly baby products. And thus Ms Edwards’ business, ecobabies, was born.</p> <p>“I started <a href="http://www.ecobabiesaustralia.com">ecobabies</a> to give people the opportunity to see and touch a range of natural, eco-friendly baby products in a relaxed environment,” she said.</p> <p>“I am passionate about babies and caring for the environment and it was important to me to combine the two.”</p> <p>Knowing all too well that new mums are time-precious, Ms Edwards has tried to make <a href="http://www.ecobabiesaustralia.com">ecobabies</a> an accessible and stress-free shopping experience. “The idea is that people have an <a href="http://www.ecobabiesaustralia.com">ecobabies </a>party where I come to their home and demonstrate the range of products,” she said. “They include cloth nappies, nappy accessories, bamboo clothing, baby care products and baby carriers.” </p> </div>**end article**<br /><br />I am delighted that Erin has chosen to introduce Babyjo (along with other gorgeous brands) to her rapidly growing market/clients, and I am so excited to see how well she is going already - What a fabulous idea, it is just like having a department store come to you (with carefully chosen items) in your own home - Too easy!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD3lMZanc1MP_msbZWuWto7814rzry-VlbAjBd7lNRoF6qM34EqItEvKRzkqnfujM1Txmi80ibxE1kXyvn2UP1U0p9roSQs2xzanejy2V1wDzuwpV3VNAUK8nJnD-hDu7hKD6Qe8fNkBE/s1600-h/ecobabies_rgb.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 223px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD3lMZanc1MP_msbZWuWto7814rzry-VlbAjBd7lNRoF6qM34EqItEvKRzkqnfujM1Txmi80ibxE1kXyvn2UP1U0p9roSQs2xzanejy2V1wDzuwpV3VNAUK8nJnD-hDu7hKD6Qe8fNkBE/s320/ecobabies_rgb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412065787380728498" border="0" /></a><br />If you are interested in booking an <a href="http://www.ecobabiesaustralia.com">ecobabies</a> party - feel free to download/browse through <a href="http://www.ecobabiesaustralia.com">ecobabies</a> range in their online catalogue, or call Erin for further details (contact number is located on website)<br /><br />Thanks again Erin and all the best for <a href="http://www.ecobabiesaustralia.com">ecobabies</a> in 2010.Babyjo Eco Baby Wearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13342483051030958258noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661112766959233071.post-22330322060765149882009-12-02T03:42:00.000-08:002009-12-02T03:55:09.434-08:00Sommers Home Made Muesli Bars<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPwtMlx5Qhj8MlyKctQcED5cYMpbxTFKjw5NBDk45ZqaIObOEyZ3rHx-MkXBaCOLyQXQ2MqtHVPRtnCe6VOTlFOd0QBHM_m2ge_mqpIyH5HwbYMBI-FSANQchqFAQN-FdpVsmZIYHeM9I/s1600-h/SDC10782.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPwtMlx5Qhj8MlyKctQcED5cYMpbxTFKjw5NBDk45ZqaIObOEyZ3rHx-MkXBaCOLyQXQ2MqtHVPRtnCe6VOTlFOd0QBHM_m2ge_mqpIyH5HwbYMBI-FSANQchqFAQN-FdpVsmZIYHeM9I/s320/SDC10782.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410605711501626770" border="0" /></a><br />Hmmmm - too good to miss out on! I posted this on <a href="http://www.loveyababy.wordpress.com">Love Ya Baby</a> this evening, but then felt that I would like to share it with you all as well - simply the best muesli bars (easiest, yummiest and best) to make.<p>Personally, I like healthy - My little person has a savory tooth on her, and she is happy to eat almost any fruit and vege I put in front of her. She does have the occasional ice cream or bit of chocolate as a small treat, but generally, we eat healthy all the time. We love these muesli bars as they are relatively healthy *bit of honey and bit of butter* and we know exactly what is in them.
