Fabulous Tenth & Pine baby and toddler organic tee shirts - Made in USA (#sensitiveskin #eczema #organiccotton)

Today folks are thinking seriously about the environment and that includes manufacturers. So when I received my package containing the exceptionally fine Tenth & Pine toddler T-shirt,  I was quite impressed. The package did include some plastic, but not over-much. The shirt was encased in a simple, brown kraft paper bag imprinted with the logo. It looked great and I could see they value the environment just from their packaging.

Then when I removed the gem of an organic cotton T-shirt, I was simply amazed at the softness, quality weave, and structure. Believe me, as a grandmother of 13 and mother of 5, I've handled quite a few T-shirts and other items of clothing. This Tenth & Pine product is top quality.

And some of my Chat With Vera readers have already met my great-grandson who has appeared in several posts and reviews. He is one cute little fella and so lively and so very smart. Yes! I'm a proud Great Grandma.

I passed this shirt along to his mommy and was thrilled to do so. You see, Baby Caleb has had eczema that pops up on his beautiful skin. So sensitive. This organic cotton T-shirt is naturally hypoallergenic and perfect for sensitive skin. Well worth the money!

And it is an USA product. Sourced and produced in America.

What Baby Caleb's mommy is saying about the Tenth & Pine T-shirt.....

I've been blessed with a healthy, thriving son that is always on the go! However, we've been dealing with his sensitive skin and a range of eczema conditions from the day he came home, so we're very careful about his clothes, detergent and anything he touches. I could tell from the moment I picked up this shirt that it was going to be perfect for him, the fabric was so soft, supple and made with good quality materials. This little cutie had free range of motion and was very comfortable while he was wearing it, not to mention the timely message for Valentine's Day. The quality and thickness is of the type that I know it will hold up well over time and whatever he gets into next.

Cuclie Baby Classic Contrast Stitch Cardigan (grey) [Review & Giveaway USA]

What a first-time Mom thinks of this lovely Cuclie Baby Classic Stitch Cardigan in Grey

This is such a beautiful sweater and it’s a perfect fit for growing Baby Caleb!

When I think of the Cucile brand, I think “quality.”

This beautifully constructed sweater is so versatile and the buttons are surprisingly easy to manage on a squirming little eight-month-old! The finely detailed knit stitching is exquisite. It is a dapper addition to any outfit while being flexible and comfortable too.

Baby Caleb has sensitive skin and the soft knitting is gentle on his sensitive skin yet proving perfect for any kind of outing from a casual stroll to more formal occasions. No skin irritation. Just the right amount of warmth. And, of course, that fabulous Cuclie Baby perfection and quality.

The sleeves are easy to roll up and I imagine this sweater will fit him as he gets bigger too, a quality any parent of a growing child will certainly appreciate! I’m so grateful to have this piece handy and will regularly pack it along in our diaper bag.

 —Rebecca, Mom of Baby Caleb

Now let's talk about this little one's fabulous sweater....

🔶It works equally well for boys or girls
🔷Our grey is inspired by Meghan Markle grey.  The color she supposedly painted little Archie’s nursery.

🔷Sweater is super light weight which is perfect for cool summer evenings or air conditioned areas.

"It was so much fun to dress him in such fine clothes! Thank you for sharing with us!"

This lovely piece is the palest of pale blue with delicate embroidery across the chest area. The sleeves and legs are short for those warmer days. The collar and binding on sleeves and legs is white. Such a lovely, soft piece of beautiful clothing for a beautiful baby boy.

"We really love the buttery-soft cotton used in these beautiful Cuclie baby clothes! "

Baby Caleb loves the soft warmth of this precious sweater. Knit of breathable Pima Cotton, side buttons, delicate edging, and sweet embroidery. A unique piece that is a sure winner!

"He looks ready for any event, and couldn't be more comfortable."

This beautiful outfit features long sleeves and footed legs that are perfect for when it is a bit cooler. The outfit is pure white with pale blue collar. The embroidery across the chest features a small boy and his boats. Absolutely "top drawer" in quality and perfection.

"The attention to detail is astonishing. From the delicate embroidery to the scalloped edges, it is clear each piece is thoughtfully and lovingly put together."

Cuclie Baby Clothing Made of The Finest Peruvian Pima Cotton: Extraordinaire with features only in highest quality merchandise [Review & Giveaway]

“You know what the great thing about babies is? They are like little bundles of hope. Like the future in a basket.”  —Lish McBride

The Cuclie Baby line of classic clothes and blankets are a beautiful and elegant gift for any expectant parent. Clothes are available in soft colors and blanket is white edged in pink, blue, or grey. You can shop with confidence for Cuclie baby items.

Just suppose you were a new-mom-to-be and you received a lovely package like this.....

You would know there was something special inside. You carefully slip the ribbon off the box and unfold the tissue inside. The first thing you see is a lovely blanket for your baby. It is so exquisitely  rich looking and the feel is a gentle, soft caress. Just what you want for that sweet one.

How can I explain so you can comprehend the exquisite quality and detail that is in each of these pieces and the sublime softness and beauty of the fabrics? I just wish you could reach in through your tech-screen and touch these lovely pieces.

The Classic Kimono Cardigan: This kimono cardigan has contrasting scalloped trim and beautiful hand embroidered detail in the front. The Pima and Modal blend gives this cardigan beautiful softness and elasticity. Materials: 70% Pima, 30% Modal, Available in Sizes 0 - 12 months, Button Closure at front.

After you carefully lay aside the soft blanket, you lift out of this treasure box the softest, sweetest little sweater for your little one. Look at the lovely detail edging and off-side buttons. Beautiful, yet still it has the touch of "boy" about it.

“I love these little people; and it is not a slight thing when they, who are so fresh from God, love us.” —Charles Dickens

In the video you can see the long sleeve footed outfit. Just right in this silky smooth pima cotton for days that are cool but not bone chilling cold. And it is so soft to use to encase your bundle of joy in a soft warmth. And then the pale blue outfit with short sleeves and short legs are perfect for a warm Spring day or Summer time. Again, soft elegant cotton. Please take note of the beautiful spots of hand embroidery on these lovely pieces.

I truly would have loved to have any of these items for a child of mine. I can truthfully say that these are elegant, soft, beautiful pieces of clothing for your little one. And the little blanket is so cuddly soft with beautiful stitches and weaving.

I was simply amazed at the moderate prices for these pieces. The fabric, designs, and detailing beg to be higher priced.

No, I don't have little ones in my home. I do, however, have a new crop of little ones arriving in the family. These will go to the latest...... our Baby Caleb. Who will you clothe in these lovely pieces?

BABY ORGANIC SHAMPOO & BODY WASH COCONUT

My thoughts:  I know when my babies were tiny we used the best soap that we could find in the stores that was gentle . That was a long time ago. There are many products on the market today. This Nature's Paradise organic baby shampoo and body wash with coconut is fascinating and just chock full of simple organic ingredients derived from nature itself. I am quite impressed with this.

Product Information:

BABY OIL COCONUT

My thoughts:  Many folks use baby oil regularly on their wee ones. Mine couldn't tolerate the baby oil that was then available. Again, that was a long time ago. Using a baby oil that is plant based and made from organically derived oils can certainly be good for the skin. So if your baby needs oil for his or her skin, this product seems to be exceptional!

Product information:

Muslin Swaddle Blanket Baby Receiving Blankets [#sponsored]

My thoughts: My five children are grown and my 13 grandchildren are grown past baby-hood and childhood. There is now one great-grand and another on the way. Receiving blankets and swaddling have played a major part in my life. So it is with delight that I share my pleasure at receiving a 2-pack set of muslin (we didn't have these when my children were babies) receiving blankets.

Perfectly gift boxed and ready to give.

I love the light and airy muslin weave. I love the large size of these blankets (47"x47"). I love the designs that are cute and not typical of baby items. Little foxes, leaves, and simple loveliness. These designs are for boys and the company has different designs for girls. But, of course, they can be used for any baby. The blankets are soft to the touch even prior to washing. Imagine how soft they'll become with the repeated use and washings that are typical of receiving blankets.

You just can't get enough receiving blankets and these would make such a lovely gift for that new mommy to swaddle her new, or soon-to-come baby.

New kid's products from Dial - Dial Baby Body & Hair Wash and Dial Kid's Foaming Hand Wash [Review & Giveaway]

Again, Dial Soap has given the consumer products to meet their daily needs and products on which Mom can depend. Today we're looking at the new Dial Baby Body & Hair Wash  and Dial Kid's Foaming Hand Wash.

First, let's get those kiddies ready for bath by preparing the tub with nice warm water. Get a favorite toy ready. And have wash cloth and towel handy. I was given the opportunity to review the Dial "0 to 2 year old, fragrance free, gentle formula" product. There are others geared specifically for your child who is older but for whom you still wish to have a children's, pediatric approved, and safe product.

Kiddies love bubbles and this lathers nicely but not too much. Doesn't burn or sting the eyes. Doesn't irritate sensitive skin.

Product Information (from Dial) - Developed with Pediatric Dermatologists, this tear-free formula is pH balanced and hypoallergenic, with no parabens or artificial dyes, for babies’ perfect skin. Gently removes environmental dirt for a head to toe clean! See more at: More about Dial Baby Body & Hair Wash

<<<<<<<<-------->>>>>>>>>

Now, your kiddie's hands need washing. Pull up the little step stool - snug to the counter. Have that wee one step on it. Now the fun begins!

They just LOVE, I mean LOVE, their own foaming soap! Let them depress the plunger. Usually one little "serving" will suffice. But you can afford to be liberal if it makes them happy. Now scrub a rub dub. Twist and turn. Bubble all around. Hands are clean. (The old adage is to get them really clean you wash them while singing Happy Birthday To You.) Rinse. Grab that favorite little hand towel. Rub-a-rub and get them dry.

Step down from the step stool. Put it back in place. Now we're clean. We're finished.

This works at home or Grandma's house. Little ones love their own Dial Kid's Foaming Hand Wash.

Product Information (from Dial) - Makes hand washing fun for all ages! Hypoallergenic, no artificial dyes, no parabens, pH balanced and gentle on kids’ skin! See more at: Dial Kid's Foaming Hand Wash
