Why Organic?
Organic cotton and food has been growing in popularity among families for quite some time now, leaving many wandering what the big deal is about going organic. There are lots of great reasons to buy organic products, for not only you and your children’s health, but the environment’s health as well.
Organic Farming
· Organic farms do not allow pesticide and artificial fertilizer use.
· Less use of these chemicals mean less pollution in our water sources.
· Fertilizing is done with composted manure and rotating crops.
Organic Cotton
· Organic cotton farming practices allow for a healthier planet by not using pesticides or insecticides, whereas regular cotton production in the world make up 10% use of pesticides and 25% of insecticides.
· According to the USDA, 84 million pounds of pesticides were sprayed on regular cotton grown in the United States in 2000 (information found at Sage Creek Naturals).
· It takes about 1/3 of a pound of chemicals to grow enough cotton for one t-shirt.
· Organic cotton farming allow for natural replenishing and maintaining soil fertility, developing a diverse biological agriculture.
What types of products use organic cotton?
· Cloth Diapers
· Clothing
· Bedding
· Feminine Products
· Handbags
· Towels and Washcloths
· Almost any type of product that uses regular cotton, as more and more companies are realizing the importance of using organic cotton.

I Have No Voice!
On Saturday morning I woke up with a huge sinus infection, all the pressure behind my nose, giving me a headache, eye pressure, terrible nose issues, the works. Through the sinus infection, I still had the kids to take care of which meant answering a thousand questions a day, as well as saying no a thousand times a day, lol. Yesterday I started to lose my voice, and when I woke up today, I have no voice at all! Hope these antibiotics get through to me soon, it is hard to be mommy without a voice!
And of course, we are still working with Alex and him being sick, so he is stuck on the couch, yelling for me every few minutes. And he keeps yelling when I can't get there quickly enough, because I can only whisper and he doesn't hear that I'll be there in a minute, lol.
All of this has gotten me terribly behind with homework this week, but I am not going to do my field experience at the elementary school tomorrow since I cannot talk anyways, I would only be able to observe, and I already have all the observation hours I need, I am supposed to be interacting with students for the rest of my hours (I still need 50 of those hours before I can student teach next spring).
Sorry I haven't updated some new products or anything this week, hopefully I will get to add some new Ellaroo items this weekend. But in the meantime, if you haven't checked out my homepage and about us page in awhile, check it out (www.PoshOrganic.com)! We got a great updated look from Jennifer of http://www.fingerprintsboutique.com/. She did wonderful content writing for me, helping me out with some search engine optimization and making my homepage look more appealing. Thank you Jennifer! And I hope everyone had a wonderful Earth Day and accomplished everything they wanted! We still are planning to plant our tree, hopefully tomorrow or Friday, maybe we will go ahead and do our flowers too and hope there is no more frost coming our way!

Happy Earth Day Everyone!
How are you celebrating Earth Day? My plan was to plant a tree I received from an order with Kate Quinn Organics (what a nice touch to send a tree with the order, thank you everyone at Kate Quinn!). However, when I make plans, they are usually changed due to mommy duties :) My son is feeling sick today, I am thinking it may be allergies, but he is also breaking out a little bit, so I am going to the doc this afternoon to see if it may be something worse. Last November he had developed scarlett fever with a terrible rash that felt raised with lots of little bumps. The rash he has is not that bad this time, but it does feel raised again, so it makes me nervous! Strep throat has been going around as well, and scarlett fever is a type of strep, so I pray this is not the case this time, he has told me his throat feels fine, so that is a good sign. It is finally just getting nice outside for longer than a day at a time, so he needs to be able to go out and play, he has been waiting for spring all winter, lol. His appointment is in 3 hours (right in the middle of my one year old's naptime of course) so I will update this post then to let you all know how he is doing!
Update: We made it back from the doctor, and it is what I suspected, strep. He started his antibiotics as soon as we got home, so 24 hours from that time he will not be contagious anymore, but I will still be disinfecting everything everywhere I go this week. Kinda stinks because I have a super busy week, but what can I do! At least it is not during our vacation!
