Time to Crash

Organic sheets have been around for a long time, but kids want bold colors and patterns, and finding that in an organic option has been next to impossible, until now, that is. I like Pixel Organics because they meet my stringent environmental demands while quenching my children’s thirst for fun. Made in the US, the organic cotton, sustainable and regenerated fibers are spun into pajamas and sheets. Dyes are solely water-based, and the company relies on eco-friendly materials like REFILL - regenerated PET (PolyEthylene Terephthalate) fibers from processing discarded bottles, recycled into the fill for their pillows and mattresses - and Pure Grow Wool. A member of 1% for the Planet, Pixel Organics also produces pillows and mattress pads for the younger crowd. If you live in LA, you can pick up Pixel Organics at my super stylish sister’s new store on Abbot Kinney - Eden’s Green Closet (named after my adorable niece). I will post about it in the next few days, so stay tuned!
Goldilocks Thinks this Chair is Just Right

The moms among us are always looking for non-toxic children’s products that do not compromise form or function. Argington’s Taj Chair is a winner in our book, allowing us an escape from the humdrum children’s furniture, often found in mega stores. Made of FSC-certified sustainable birch with a non-toxic and water-based finish, the Taj Chair comes in two seat heights and seven different colors. While light enough for the tykes to carry ( thanks to the handy handle), each chair can support weights up to an impressive 250 pounds. Strong enough for daddy but delicate enough to satisfy a modern mommy’s aesthetic.
