Happy Mother’s Day! ?

“Children are the anchors of a mother’s life” ~Sophocles

My why. My Boys ?

My why. My Boys ?

How lucky am I to be their mommy?! I am in awe of how much God must love me to bring these two boys into my life. I am blessed beyond measure ? Jackson and Joey enrich my life everyday… the lessons motherhood has taught me are more valuable than any other.

The loves of my life ♡

The loves of my life ♡

 

I read somewhere that being a mother means that your heart is no longer yours; it wanders wherever your children do… so very true for me. 

 

May all of you loving, hardworking moms have a day filled with love, laughter & what we all REALLY want for Mother’s Day ~ rest, relaxation & harmony! NO cooking, cleaning, running around or fulfilling requests!!! 

“No language can express the power, and beauty, and heroism, and majesty of a mother’s love. It shrinks not where man cowers, and grows stronger where man faints, and over wastes of worldly fortunes sends the radiance of its quenchless fidelity like a star” ~Edwin Hubbell Chapin

She had an abundance of style, class & grace… & a whole lot of spunk too!

Review: Oh My DeVita Baby Shampoo & Body Wash

I’m a big fan of Solar Protective Moisturizer SPF 30 by DeVita so I was happy to check out their baby products. I’m always interested in products that are truly pure.

Full Group with Solar 0229There’s a lot to like about Oh My Devita Baby Shampoo & Baby Wash: It’s vegan, tear free, gentle on sensitive skin, packaging is recyclable and most importantly, it is certified organic, paraben free and it does not contain artificial fragrance, sodium lauryl sulphate or nanoparticles. What are nanoparticles? Nanoparticles are very hazardous because they cross the cell barrier and drive into organs, including the brain. I’ll be talking about it in a future post. Suffice it to say, you want to stay away from any products made with  nanotechnology.

The true test? Does my son like Oh My Devita Baby Shampoo & Baby Wash? Drum roll please… He loves it! He just turned 8 so this stuff isn’t just for babies, mamas! Jackson told me he loves the smell. And I love the way the he smells after bathing with the Calming Calendula. I even tried it and liked it! It’s not a typical ‘baby wash’ smell, just a nice fresh scent. It also comes fragrance free. There is nothing cuter than a little boy fresh out of the bath, cozy in his jammies! Good snuggle time.

The nice thing is, you can feel safe bathing your child with this because it doesn’t have toxic chemicals that are found in most baby products. Our children’s systems are quite delicate so, over time, harmful chemicals really affect them adversely. I am writing a series of posts that will include the ingredients you want to steer clear of so stay tuned.

The Oh My Devita Baby line includes, Hey Sunshine Solar Protection, Flutterby Baby Brulee Lotion, Bubbly Babies Shampoo & Body Wash, Powder Puff Baby Powder and Butter Cheeks Baby Balm. Be sure to follow Oh my DeVita Baby on Twitter  and Facebook.
