"Welcome Home" - A Bethany Rose Original

2008-07-11T07:16:00.005-06:00

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 http://www.mybethanyrose.com/. in onesie sizes 0-18 months and toddler t shirts sizes 2T, 3T, 4 T, & 5/6 for $16.95
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.

Before I Was A Mom

2008-02-17T09:23:00.002-06:00

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?

2008-02-10T17:05:00.000-06:00

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

The Ugly Side of Cotton-The Beautiful Side of Bamboo

2008-02-02T15:22:00.001-06:00

See our new line of bamboo organic baby clothing

I love cotton...or used to. It's cool in the summer, absorbent and feels nice on my skin. I even planned times to catch up on my TV shows and iron my cotton stuff. A multitasking grandma! All was well with life.

It wasn't until we explored organic cotton baby clothing for our site http://www.mybethanyrose.com/ that we learned that the growing and manufacturing of conventional cotton has a very nasty dark side.

The farming of cotton is one of the most destructive practices on this earth, polluting our air, water, soil and endangering our health. Cotton uses 25% of the world's insecticides and 10% of its herbicide production. (ouch) Are you wearing your favorite t shirt today? Know that it took about one third pound of chemicals to grow the cotton that shirt was made from. And it doesn't stop with just the farming of cotton. During the manufacturing process, chlorine bleach is used to whiten fabrics and formaldehyde is applied to the finished garmet. YUK!

I read that over one million Americans will learn they have some form of cancer this year. Over ten thousand people in the US die each year from cancer related to pesticides. In California five of the nine pesticides used on cotton contain cancer causing chemicals (EPA).

This reads like a George Orwell nightmare. The vision of my grandchildren walking around wearing face masks, having to boil their water and afraid to eat food for fear of contamination is indeed scarey. This is eco-diaster. Perhaps that's being a little over-dramatic but the facts are out there.

Choosing 100% organic cotton is an important step toward creating a purer more natural environment. It is becoming a positive decision for a growing number of parents.

Organic farming relies on organic fertilizers, crop rotation and integrated pest management. For a farm to gain the organic label, it must be free of synthetic pesticides for a least three consecutive years. In short, organic farmers work with nature, not against it.

Bamboo is an excellent alternative to organic cotton. Bamboo has so many positive qualities it is being touted as the new miracle fabric. Luxurious as silk, soft as cashmere, bamboo is more durable and less expensive.

The three softest things on this planet is a baby's skin, cashmere and now - bamboo clothing.

Bamboo is a fast growing grass shooting a yard or more per day. Bamboo does not require replanting because its vast root system continually sprouts new shoots. No tractors needed. No poisonous pesticides. No herbicides. No fertilizers. Bamboo handles drought or flooding and actually improves soil quality.

Moso bamboo is the type of bamboo used in clothing. It's the same bamboo we eat, but rest assured Pandas don't eat this variety.

The qualities of bamboo are unbelievable! It is soft non irritating even to sensitive skin, naturally anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, and hypoallergenic. Bamboo is highly absorbent and wicks water away from baby's skin three to four times faster than average cotton. It keeps you dry and cool in the summer, warm in the winter.

We are tickled to carry bamboo baby clothing on our site.

Until next time, friends

2007-12-12T21:00:00.000-06:00

Some of us older folk may remember the days when we never locked our doors. We used to sit in the car while mom grocery shopped. We played outside in our neighborhoods or go to the playground to play without any fears. Those days are long gone. As parents and grandparents, our eyes never stray from our babies.

The Safe-Card ID is a product we had to add to our site. It is easy to use and most affordable. The kits contains one parent card for your wallet, one patented tag for your child's shoelaces, and one thumbprint card for your records. The ID ships UPS with fast delivery. Find them at http://www.mybethanyrose.com under the Baby & Child Safety category.

Mother's Milk - Not that Udder Milk

2007-12-12T20:26:00.001-06:00

Baby Bethany Rose now features some of the cutest bodysuits made from Gerber onesies featuring probreastfeeding expressions. We love these products and we love the benefits of breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding. . . .the gift that lasts a lifetime.

Human milk was designed for human babies, that’s the long and short of it. Mother’s milk contains just the right amount proteins, fats, and carbohydrates – in completely different proportions than formula or cow’s milk. Here are some reasons why breastfeeding “does a baby good”.

Breast milk is more digestible than formula. Formula contains twice the protein baby needs and cow’s milk may irritate the lining of baby’s intestines causing tiny loses of iron. Breast milk is perfect infant nutrition.

Nursing helps get mom’s figure back more quickly burning an average of 500 calories a day. Breastfeeding also helps decrease insulin requirement in diabetic mothers.

Who doesn't want that?

Human milk enhances brain development and improved cognitive development. In fact, a recent long-term study of 1000 children found breastfed children had consistent and statistically significant increases in:
intelligence quotient (IQ) at age 8 and 9 years of age;
reading comprehension, mathematical ability, and scholastic ability assessed during the period from 10-13 years of age;
teacher ratings of reading and mathematics assessed at 8 and 12 years; and, and higher levels of attainment in "high school leaving examinations."

Now, who doesn’t want a smart baby?

Breast milk provides immunities to disease and aids in the development of baby’s immune system as mother’s antibodies are passed on to the baby. Reduced instances of
Pneumonia, botulism, bronchitis, staph infections, influenza, ear infections, German measles, child lymphomas, diarrheal infections, allergies, meningitis, less rashes, less spitup.

Baby Bethany Rose and her big sister Gwendolyn are breastfed babies, and they hardly ever get sick – ever!

As adults, breastfed babies have decreased risk of developing
Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's Disease, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Obesity, Multiple Sclerosis & breast cancer.

Breastfeeding is easier to use. No shopping for bottles or supplies. No indecisions on what type of formula to buy. No worry about synthetic growth hormones. No manufacturing recalls. No taking up space in the kitchen cupboard. No waiting to warm the milk and measuring formula either.
Breast milk requires no refrigeration. Even pumped breast milk keeps for a long time outside the refrigerator. For more information on this, go to:
http://www.medela.com/

Ma Ma’s milk is always ready on time - at the right temperature - AND – it’s free !

Mom and Dad get more sleep. Breastfed babies tend to fall asleep faster after feeding than formula or cow milk fed babies. Breast milk has chemicals that act like a natural tranquilizer and endorphins to suppress pain.

Sleep on!

Breastfeeding helps with proper dental and jaw development. Less tooth decay, too. For more information on this subject, go to:

http://www.fda.gov/fdac/reprints/breastfed.html
Breastfed babies smell wonderful and magical. Nicer diaper changes, too. BMs smell mild, not offensive like so many diaper jokes.

Breastfeeding provides the time for mommy baby bonding time. Breastfeeding is restfull.

Breasts look better than the bottle and there are two to choose from!

WHY ORGANIC?

2007-06-11T19:50:00.001-06:00

WE NOW CARRY ORGANIC COTTON BABY CLOTHING

WHY ORGANIC ? READ ON.

Why should you buy organic vs. conventional cotton? There are so many reasons that you probably never knew, we’d like to let you in on some real facts and give you some insight into the organic industry and why it’s the natural choice for you and your baby. Organic Cotton is the cloth of the future! Organic cotton is not only better for our bodies but better for our environment. It makes a world of difference in the health and comfort of our babies, especially those with allergies, asthma, or multiple chemical sensitivities. Your baby can enjoy the purest softness, comfort and strength of cotton while diminishing the harm to our environment because what is toxic to you, is 15 times more toxic to a baby.The amount of pesticides used in the U.S. to grow conventional cotton is an obscene amount; one third of a pound of chemicals is used to grow enough cotton for one t-shirt. Not only do these synthetic pesticides pollute our air, water and soil, but they jeopardize our future. The conventional cotton farming takes an astonishing amount of the responsibility for contaminating our planet by using a full quarter of the pesticides worldwide. People are consuming foods that contain cottonseed oil which is extracted from the seeds of a cotton plant that has been sprayed with some of the most toxic pesticides. Twenty thousand deaths can be accredited to poisoning by farming pesticides; three million people suffer from chronic health problems reported by The World Health Organization. We know it’s alarming!There are many harmful chemicals that people do not know about. Twelve of these chemicals are known as persistent organic pollutants or POPs, they are the most hazardous of all man-made products or wastes that cause deaths, birth defects and diseases among humans and animals. They are so dangerous that 120 nations agreed at a United Nations Environment Programme conference to outlaw them. Of the 151 signatories to the convention 98 states have ratified it; sadly the United States and Russia have not yet done so. There are three of those chemicals used in cotton manufacturing.The biggest problem starts right in the cotton fields. The pesticides and chemicals used to spray conventional cotton crops creep into the air and soil, the ground water eventually then spreads to farms creating long-standing health threats to farmers, laborers and the community. Many people believe that we should not ingest pesticides into our bodies, but haven’t figured out that we shouldn’t put them on our bodies either. What many people don’t know about conventional cotton is that besides being grown with tons of chemicals that it is then subjected to abundant chemical baths and treatments when the fabric is loomed and prepared for cutting. Furthermore, cotton is usually dyed and these dyes can contain heavy metals.By choosing to wear and buy organic cotton baby clothing we are spreading the word thru our family and to our friends and helping to raise global knowledge about the benefits of choosing to go organic. Let’s take back what is rightfully ours and do our small part to save our planet.
