So I delivered an bumGenius order today to a home and found out that the order was a gift for a friend who is pregnant. Apparently, the pregnancy was not planned for and was a surprise. The family is having some financials stress and so friends of the mom-to-be again, decided to buy her reusable diapers. How brilliant! We don't really think about how expensive disposable diapers are because it's such a convenience. But a convenience to who's expense? That's the real question.

Either way, I was so pleased to hear the story and hope many new moms or moms for a second or third time will consider the switch. Actually, even more money can be saved to second and third time moms because reusable diapers can be saved or even kept as heirloom pieces.

Check out celebrities choosing sophie the giraffe for their little ones...

Why is Sophie such a huge success? Sophie the Giraffe is BABYS FIRST TOY, stimulating EACH OF HIS SENSES from the age of 3 months:

•Sight: At the age of 3 months, a baby’s eyesight is still limited and he can only make out high contrasts. The Dark and contrasting attention-catching spots all over Sophie the Giraffe’s body provide visual stimulation and she soon becomes a familiar and reassuring object for baby.

•Hearing: Sophie’s the Giraffe squeaker keeps baby amused and stimulates his hearing. To begin with, the funny sound Sophie makes when she is squeezed helps to stimulate baby’s hearing, and then later, helps him to understand the link between cause and effect.

•Taste: A Sophie the Giraffe is made of 100% natural rubber and food paint, and is completely safe to chew, just like a feeding bottle teat. Her soft texture and numerous chewable parts (ears, horns, legs), make her perfect for soothing baby’s sore gums during teething.

•Touch: Touch is the first means a baby has of communicating with the outside world. Sophie the Giraffe’s soft feel, like baby’s mother’s skin, stimulates physiological and emotional response that soothe baby and promote healthy growth and well-being..

•Smell: The singular scent of natural rubber from the Hevea tree makes Sophie the Giraffe very special and easy for your child to identify amid all his other toys.

•Easy to grip: Sophie the Giraffe’s shape and 18 cm (7 inches) size are perfect for baby’s small hands. She is very light, and her long legs and neck are easy for baby to grip, even from his earliest days.

I am so sad to hear that one of my most beautiful organic clothing line is no longer going to be in business. Costly yes, but I put their clothes to the test on my then 2yr. She is going to be 3 now and she still wears her 18-24mo. size from Kice Kice. Now maybe some might say, well your child must not be fed if she's 3 and wearing 18-24mo. size clothing. I am proud to say that I have a very healthy child, and my point to this is that the quality, workmanship and design of Kice Kice collection is a kids line that I have not seen in a long time. Organic cotton, modern design, truly one of a kind pieces.

Here is my 2yr. niece on her birthday wearing the poplin dress by Kice Kice. The entire collection of whatever is left in our inventory can be viewed on www.ana-k.com
