I have a soft spot for the soft and cuddly, and this new Organic Sleepy Bear from NAP Inc. definitely looks like he fits the description. He’s so adorable, and he’s carrying a baby sleepy bear in a Sleepy Wrap Sling.
The outer cover of both bears and their wrap are made from 100% organic cotton. It doesn’t get any softer than that! He’ll make a great green selection for gift giving this holiday season.
The bears are machine washable on the gentle cycle, with a mild detergent, and can even be tumbled dry on low.

For some reason, I can’t see to capture an image here for you to see, so you’ll just have to go check out the toys for yourself. But what I want to …read more

While I’d love to say that I’m way ahead of the whole environmentally aware, eco-friendly attitude, the truth is that I’m really just now being more deliberate toward that lifestyle. We’ve been recyclers for years, and the lights are usually turned off when we leave a room, though not always. Recently, though, I’ve really started to be aware about the products that we bring into our home and the impact that our choices might have on future generations.
