Hello everyone! There is so much news to share with you!!!
First I would like to thank everyone for your continued support! It is you, the greatest customers on earth, that make my business successful! Your suggestions are always appreciated and are the driving force behind many of my decisions in determining which products are best for ALL NATURAL BABIES! There seems to be a lot of new products since the last time I blogged!
Some of the new products include:
LOVEYBUMS diapers, wool covers, and accessories! These are the top of the line, high quality products! The workmanship in the diapers is excellent! I am so VERY VERY impressed with the fit of this diaper! I will be testing the wool covers this week and will be able to give feedback on them soon! If they are nearly as good as the actual diapers then I am sure I will be pleased!
RUMPAROOZ are the newest diaper that I have chosen to bring on board. The feedback I have had from customers and friends has been phenomenal. I am anxiously awaiting their arrival, then I will test them to ensure that they are as good as I have been told! Once that is done then I will be posting that they are in and available! :-) They have a neat feature that none of the other one size fits all diapers that I carry have. They have internal gussets that help to keep messes where they belong!!! In the diaper!!! They also claim to fit from very tiny right through diaper training so I will have a mom testing these with a newborn baby to see if they are a good fit on teensy babies. We all know that there are only a very few brands that fit well on the teensy babes.
ZOOBIES... There are several new additions to the Zoobies family! There is a soft sunggly moose that is so cute! A black bear that will steal your heart! A lady bug that every little one will love! And a bumblee that is sure to charm his way into your life! I have also restocked many of the favorite standbys from the originals! So the stock is ready for Christmas!!!
News on the home front. I do not usually use this blog to share anything going on in my personal life, but this time it effects the business in a big way! After several years of commuting back and forth between our two homes, Darrell and I have purchased an acreage together!! Although we take possession of the acreage this Friday, I will not be moving there until mid December. So with very mixed emotions I am taking this opportunity to share with everyone that ALL NATURAL BABIES will be relocating to the Sherwood Park area (east of Edmonton).
I will continue to provide service to customers from Central Alberta in any way that is possible. With internet services and the ability to ship with Canada Post, Greyhound, and other companies I will still be able to get products to you! I am hoping that by the time I move the website for ALL NATURAL BABIES will be completed and ready for orders to be placed directly through there. I have also had offers from some of my long standing customers that they would be willing to host an Open House in their homes every so often to allow customers from the Red Deer and surrounding areas to come and pick up orders which they could pre-order, or to view new products at that time!
As I said, this decision came with many mixed emotions! I have loved living in this area, and loved the opportunity to meet so many great people through my business !!! It has been a phenomenal experience and one that I wish to continue! Throughout the next several weeks until mid-December I will continue to schedule times for appointments; however you will notice that the method will change a bit to accomodate more people. (ie: there may be days that will be "Introduction to Cloth Diapers" that will be open to anyone interested in that topic. Another day might be posted as "Open Hours" and hours will be listed that people can just drop in, allowing mroe than one person at a time.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone over the next couple of months and helping you with getting all of the products that you need for your little ones! Take care and have a great day!

Where does the time go??? We have already had snow!!! We are waiting on our Molehill Mountain Equipment order with nice warm mittens, bomber hats, Sno-Moc booties for our little ones, and snowsuits to keep the kids warm this winter. Looks like it could be a brutal one!
Also on order are the Kokkoon car seat snuggly warm bags for infant carseats. I love these as they meet Canada Transport safety guidelines! These are a must have for all families with infants! No more bundling up baby in a snowsuit for errands... just plop them in their car seat and zip up the bag and baby is toasty warm and safe as can be!
SO many new items are arriving at ALL NATURAL BABIES. TO check items up go to Facebook and search for "All Natural Babies, Cloth diapers and more" GROUP. There are pictures there of most of the products we carry!

Chemical Free Sun Screen, Bug Repellent , and Mom and Baby Skin Care Products
Exciting new products from Matter Company which is yet another great Canadian company I have chosen to add to my product line! Their products provide a line of premium natural skin care products that balance the needs of our urban lives with our North American connection to the outdoors. Their Mom and Baby product line is absolutely amazing offering fantastic natural products to my customers! This company has been featured in many magazines recently, including: Elle, Fashion 18, and Flare!
Today I will provide information regarding the `Natural Sun Care Creme`and `Butterfly Weed Herbals - In the Bush Citronella Body Oil`
NATURAL SUN CARE CREME
Chemical-free, Substance Sun Care Creme keeps delicate skin protected bycreating a natural physical barrier to protect against the elements.
Natural oils of Shea Butter, Sesame Seed oil and Jojoba oil offer addedprotection, while moisturizing and soothing sensitive skin.
Our botanical blend of Calendula, Grapeseed and Green Tea extract cooland soothe over-exposed skin. Water resistant, this formula is safe forchildren of all ages.
Benefits· Active ingredients of 20% microionized zinc oxide acts as a physical barrier to protect against UVA and UVB rays.· Natural sunblock offers UVA/UVB protection without harmful, skin irritating chemicals, found most chemical sunscreen ingredients.· Provides protection for up to 40 minutes in the sun. Equivalent to an SPF 30.· Water resistant, and safe for kids.· Moisturizing, with oils of Shea Butter and Jojoba oil, which also offer added protection against the sun.· Anti-Oxidant Green Tea and Grapeseed Extract help re-generate skin cells.· Calendula Flowers soothe and heal sensitive skin.
The Ingredients are the ProductActive Ingredients: Zinc Oxide 20% Soyabean oil, Calendula flowers, St. Johnswort flowers, Jojoba oil, Seasme Seed oil, Green Tea extract,Grapeseed extract, Glycerin, Shea Butter, Vitamin E Acetate, Xanthan Gum, Phenoxyethanol, Capryl Glycol, Sorbic Acid, Deionized Water, Lavender, Citronella essential oils.
What is the difference between a physical barrier vs a chemical sunscreen?
A physical barrier sunscreen physically blocks the sun's UV rays. These are often found in ingredients of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
Often, sunblocks containing these two ingredients have been messy and opaque. Substance Natural Sun Care Creme however, uses microionized zinc. This we feel is the safest & most effective option. It creates the same physical barrier, but is more transparent, and less messy when rubbed in.
Physical barriers also have the added benefit over chemical sunscreen of blocking UVA rays. UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin's surface, increasing the risk of celluar skin damage. Most chemical sunscreens do not block UVA rays effectively. The best known and proven UVA protection is provided by products that contain zinc oxide.Furthermore chemical sunscreens can be an irritant to sensitive skin. Zinc, on the other hand, has many beneficial properties including being anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory; beneficial to sensitive, delicate skin.
Butterfly Weed Herbals - "IN THE BUSH" Citronella Oil
Deet Free, "In the Bush" Citronella Oil is a non-toxic alternative for enjoying the great outdoors. Apply generously over exposed skin and re-apply when required.
Tested and used by tree-planters since 1997, this formula is safe on kids and pets.

Please contact me if you have any questions about these products! I am excited about bringing these in as they truly offer much healthier alternatives to our families than what is generally available!
Hope you are having a great weekend!

New stock ... and lots of it!
Wow what a busy week it has been! Lots of new stock from several different wholesalers! Where to begin....
Little Soles shoes arrived!! Wow... they are very impressive! I LOVE THEM! The quality is absolutely amazing and they are so much nicer than they looked. I now know why so many of my customers recommended them! I just wish they made them in MY size.. I do have some extras in stock for people to view or for sale. Ask for details.
Happy Heinys stock arrived today! The training pants that so many of you have been waiting for are now in stock! Give me a call to set up a time for you to come by and check them out. There are also several other brands and styles of training pants in stock. Each brand has their perks and it really is a personal choice as to which brand will fit and work best for your little one!
For those of you who have requested the DryBees sized diapers these have arrived!!! Some very cute prints came in this batch! Lots of stock in all sizes available at the present time!
I had the "joy" (yes that is sarcasm... sorry ... lol) of testing the silk liners on my little one this week. She has a bit of a teething diaper rash that is being stubborn. I decided to try the silk liners as these liners have an antimicrobial property and come highly recommended for sensitive skin and rashes. I was totally skeptical! But the great news is that it really has been working well and I am seeing improvements. The joys of 2 year old molars!!!!
Due to tons of requests for an all natural products including sunscreen and bug repellant, I have placed an order for these products and will try to get the details of each posted on FACEBOOK in the next few days. I chose brands that are Canadian made and come highly recommended with great customer reviews! It will be nice to have deet free bug repellent options for my own family as well as yours!
Okay, I am all typed out for tonight and will try to update as often as I can to keep this up to date! (thanks for the nudge from one of my fantastic customers, this posting made it on here tonight) ;-)

First time blogging...
WELCOME TO ALL NATURAL BABIES' BLOG... my very first attempt at blogging, so bear with me! :-)
Wow what a fantastic weekend that was! A bit on the HOT side for my liking, but I know many of you love the hot hot hot weather so I hope you had a very enjoyable weekend with your loved ones!
I will be using this blog to try to keep everyone up to date on exciting new products, sales, order deadlines for specific items, and any changes that may be occurring!! So here goes...
This week I will contine with the clearance sale on the Melissa and Doug items. Although many items have "flew out the door" there is still a good selection of puzzles, First Play toy sets, and some other miscellaneous items! These items are priced to sell well below the prices of other retailers in this area so take advantage of some early Christmas shopping! :-)
This week there will be a clearance on DryBees PUL pocket diapers. I have a very limited quantity in really colorful and cute prints. Regularly these sell for $17.99+GST each. Clearance price is: $14.99 +GST each.
One of the new items arriving very soon that will be here just in time for more of this hot summer weather is the Drip Stiks:
- Keeps kids' clothes clean by catching the sticky drips from ice cream cones or any frozen treat on a stick.
- Two products in one: One end holds frozen treats on a stick. Flip the Dripstik over and the other end holds ice cream cones in almost any size and variety.
- Saves parents time from cleaning up colorful puddles from forgotten desserts.
- Makes an easy birthday party favor! Serve ice cream without stressing about guests making a mess, then simply send the Dripstik home with them.
- Perfect for road trips. Indulge your children with stops at ice cream shacks without worrying about the upholstery. Let them get the cone instead of a cup and spoon.
- Durable, soft plastic is long-lasting and easy-care-- simply pop into the dishwasher!
- Six fun kid colours: Bionic Blue, Mellow Yellow, Awesome Orange, Keen Green, Radical Red and Punky Purple.
I will post more items as they arrive. Please feel free to check out pictures of many of my items on FACEBOOK at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=35071342395
