"Welcome Home" - A Bethany Rose Original

WELCOME HOME

Welcome a Loved One Home in Style

The first time my Marine son returned from a war (Desert Storm) I found myself stenciling and glittering 30 T-shirts for the family to wear in a Welcome Home parade. The second and third time he returned from Iraq serving with the Nebraska National Guard the shirts were simplier but just as impressive (at least in my mind).
All this time expenditure gave thought to designing a shirt babies and toddlers could wear to greet their loved one(s) returning from overseas duty. After all, we could be preparing home cooked meals, planning family reunions and get-to-gethers with family, friends & neighbors. This is celebration time!
“Welcome Home” is a simple red white and blue design printed on 100% super soft Rabbit Skins Apparel. A special printing technique allows the fabric to stretch without distorting the graphic.
This onesie and todder t-shirt is available on our Baby Bethany Rose website www.mybethanyrose.com. in onesie sizes 0-18 months and toddler t shirts sizes 2T, 3T, 4 T, & 5/6 for $16.00.
We welcome special orders for Military Family Readiness Groups and Military Families at discounted prices which include adult sizes up to 5X with a minimum order of 24. Allow 4-6 weeks for printing & shipping.

Organic Cottons/Bamboo & Wash Day How To. . .

Washing organic cottons and bamboo clothing - BELIEVE IT OR NOT - Isn't that hard.

With proper care, baby's new organic cotton outfit will remain looking like new for many years.

(That's a plus for Hand Me Downs)

Organic Cottons haven't been subjected to all those processing chemicals that weaken the fiber.

( That's a plus for it's durability.)

One thing to know is if the clothing you purchased has been preshrunk or cut larger for shrinkage (about 5%).

Simply wash organic cotton/bamboo clothing on the cold water cycle and line dry. Or line dry light garments and dry heavier clothing flat.

(Sorry, guys - it looks like we found a new use for the shower rod!)

If your organic cotton baby outfit has been preshrunk it may be tumble dried.

Little to no ironing is required - BUT - if you insist, keep your iron setting no higher than 'synthetic'. DO NOT USE STEAM !

If in doubt - follow laundering instructions on the label. I guess that's why clothing manufacturers put them there.

Before I Was A Mom

My friend Deb sent this to me - thought I'd pass it along.

Before I was a Mom-
I never tripped over toys or knew the words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom-
I had never been puked on
Pooped on
Chewed on
Peed on
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom -
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom -
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never know that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom -
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special that bond between a mother and a child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so happy.

Before I was a Mom
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every ten minutes to make sure he was ok.
I had never know warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

Pass it along to all the new moms you know.

Why Does Organic Cotton Cost More?

Good question. With today's economy going into the dumpster, everyone is trying to find as many bargains when and where we can. The more I read about organic, the more convinced I am that, in the long run, we are paying a much higher price when it comes to our environment,our health, and our future. So here are some reasons I found why organic cotton costs more:

• Organic uses untreated seeds, contends with weeds and insects in a non traditional manner that costs more than the conventional use of petroleum based fertilizers, toxic herbicides and pesticides that threaten to destroy our environment. My daddy was an organic farmer, rotating crops and using cow manure for fertilizer. My brother continues this practice today. Organic farming is going back in time utilizing these same principles.
• Organic cotton is more expensive to harvest. My mom grew up on a cotton farm in Arkansas. In 1915 cotton was harvested by hand - painful and labor intenstive to say the least. Today all sorts of chemicals with names no one can pronounce (thidiazuron, carfentrazon, phraflufen on and on are used to defoliate and kill off the rest of the cotton plant after harvest. Organic cotton uses none of these methods.
• Organic cotton is more expensive to manufacture. One reason is that it's still a small market. And, the same manufacturing facilities are used for both conventional cotton and organic cotton processing. But before organic cotton can be processed, the cotton gin and machines have to be cleaned and sanitized upping the processing costs.
• Fair trade and fair wage plays an important role in this scenario as well. Companys who manufacture clothing made in the USA pay fair wages and benefits to their workers. No sweat shops paying pennies for a days work.
• It's the Big Guy vs the Little Guy. It costs the little organic cotton guy big dollars to ship, advertise and market their wares - more so than huge discount store operations with unlimited budgets.

The unfortunate truth is that organic cotton may always cost more. The good news is that we will see the price gap shrink as the organic cotton movement grows and people become more aware of the benefits organic has to offer. Whether it's hemp, cotton or bamboo - it's new thinking. It's forward thinking.

Practicing what I'm beginning to preach, I decided to purchase a shirt for ME! Oh! I thought I died and went to heaven. A convert I have become. On our site www.mybethanyrose we are adding more and more organic cotton and bamboo products and hope to continue doing so when more suppliers become available.

One of my favorite sites (and where I found some of the above information) to visit to read more about organic is www.greenpeople.org

Til next time,
