Why should you know about Kicky Pants? Because it is a company on the rise! It had humble beginnings when
Erin Cloke was expecting her second child and on bed rest she decided that she wanted to do something that would benefit their whole family and allow her and her husband to spend more time as a family. That's an admirable goal, right? Honestly, who doesn't want to do something that fits into that description? Her husband has this to say about Erin and the beginning of their company:
She had always been the mom who sought out great products and had to write down store names and web addresses on scraps of paper wherever she went. She was also frequently looking for things that didn't exist, except for in her head. And when she couldn't find them, she would make them!
After the birth of their child Kicky Pants became a reality for Erin and her husband, and the store is named after the baby that she was expecting at the time when she first thought of the idea for Kicky Pants. The rest, as they say, is history.
I appreciate that Erin is the mommy of two boys, because as the mother of two boys of my own I know just how taxing it can be to find the type of clothes that I am looking for. It's quite the task to find stylish, modern and trendy baby clothing for my boys that are just as cute as their female counterparts. If you're the mother of only girls and you don't have any boys to shop for regularly then you can take my word for it, it can get pretty rough when you're shopping for clothing for your tiny members of the male gender. That's one of my favorite things about Kicky pants. They have the cutest clothes and they are stylish, modern and don't feature a giant photo of Pooh or Tigger on the butt of them. Not that I don't like Pooh, but that's not what I'm looking for in my sons clothing. I want some really great pieces that I can mix and match, classic pieces that have been updated with a modern print, and Kicky Pants provides just that! You see, I like cute clothing
but I don't like overly "cutesy" cookie cutter cloths for my baby boys.
Then there's Kicky Pants, which I have described as my dream come true as far as clothes for my boys are concerned. They have the perfect mixture of "cute" and modern style, and the best part is, wait for it wait for it, they are made from bamboo. Yes, that's right...I said it,
bamboo. If you have never laid hands on bamboo fabric before then I command you to go directly to the Kicky Pants website and pick up some of their gorgeous
bamboo basics baby clothes, because it is the softest fabric that I have ever touched in my entire life, hands down! Bamboo is a very eco-friendly alternative to traditional fabric and is the triple threat of fabrics -- it's incredibly luxurious feeling, it's eco-friendly and it's a miracle fabric of sorts as it actually absorbs water anywhere from three to four times better
than cotton(which makes you more comfortable while wearing it)! As if that wasn't enough, it actually adjusts to the temperature! You probably think I'm playing, but I'm not! Bamboo fabric will adjust itself to stay 3-4 degrees cooler in warm or hot weather and 3-4 degrees warmer in chilly or cold weather. How amazing is that?
Want to know why I am drooling over them so much? I mean other than the fact that my own baby love, Jagger, looks too adorable for words in this little
kicky pants onesie that they sent to him from their oh-so-soft-I-don't-even-have-the-words bamboo basics
eco-friendly baby clothes line. They have a little bit of everything. Seriously, do you need a
long dress? They got you! You want to buy your best friend a super soft
bamboo knit blanket for their baby shower? They have that! Your sister is having a girl you say, and you want to get your future niece a
ruffled diaper cover or
ruffled bloomers? Well guess what, they have those too!
They don't stop at beautiful clothes for the future well dressed babies and toddlers of the world, because it would be too easy to drop the ball and Erin's not about that, she's on her P's and Q's with Kicky Pants! You can also purchase some of the cutest toys that I have ever seen. I'm dying to get some for Jagger, especially the
Orchard Mushroom and
Orchard Apple, which they describe as ultra-squeezable because they are filled with non-toxic micro beads! Then of course you could always stop in and check out their bamboo basics for Mama too, that's right they also sell some super soft, luxurious feeling eco-friendly
maternity clothes, because we all know that you deserve a little something special while you're pregnant, so why not purchase one of their luxurious
organic maternity shirts?

Charlie Soap is a laundry detergent that you use in the wash, it comes in powder or liquid, and it is actually good for your clothes. It's good for the environment as well! It is a biodegradable product, but it's so affordable that even the most frugal of housewives couldn't deny that it is hands down your best laundry option! I'm a laundry detergent snob, I generally only use liquid, and I'll be honest, I was a little bit afraid of powder detergent. Why? Because I had heard horror stories about the powder not dissolving in the wash and people getting their clothing out of the washer and it having clumps all over. So, since I try as much as I possibly can to do as much as I possibly can to leave the smallest carbon footprint possible, I don't want to have to go back and do an entire load over again. I am very impressed with the powder detergent that I got from Charlie Soap. I'll give you a few reasons why I simply adore this laundry detergent:
