Organic Babies!


Hannah and Tim were parents to a baby daughter!

At that point they wanted to protect their vulnerable child, but didn't know what clothes they should buy. They were looking for alternatives to conventional cotton.

Why did they choose organic cotton clothes for their baby?

A baby’s skin is up to 5 times thinner than adult skin, they have higher metabolisms and lower weight making them extremely susceptible to absorbing toxins and more sensitive to chemicals (more information). Organic cotton has none of these harmful chemicles and is produced without the use of pesticides making it a much healthier option, especially for infants and those with skin conditions such as eczema.

And this is why Earthlings was born.

Hannah and Tim started a family run business and now specialize in truly organic baby clothes. Earthlings is an ethically conscious brand producing beautiful and environmentally responsible organic cotton clothing for babies, toddlers and kids. Their designs are made using completely chemical free fabrics and they are committed to trading fairly with all their suppliers throughout the supply chain.

A happy ending!

Becky, their baby daughter is happy, they are happy, kids are happy, Fairtrade is happy, the Earth is happy!

Give your Inner Child a Kimochi!


Kimochi (KEY.MO.CHEE) means "feeling" in Japanese.

And that's what Kimochis are all about...
Feelings can be mixed and messy...
Kimochis can help!

They are cuddly, educational and interactive toys that help children learn how to identify and express their emotions and helps other people better understand them. Kimochis enable us to learn how to be better communicators and to express our feelings.

Learning to be still - let’s Meditate!

Why is sitting and doing nothing the most difficult, mysterious, joyful, painful, profound, and life-changing thing we can do? Because it is the radical opposite of what we usually do to try to make ourselves happy.

Why stillness?

Stillness is the quiet place inside where the mind doesn’t interfere or confuse you.
Stillness offers a clear connection to your intuition
You know that you are never alone
Stillness allows big problems all of a sudden seem small
Stillness releases any stress and agitation
Simple solutions often arrive easily when resting in stillness
You feel connected to something greater than yourself when experiencing stillness
You nurture yourself and offer your body, mind and soul deep peaceful rest
You feel comfortable being alone with yourself for a while

How to introduce stillness to children in a simple yet fun way:

For children a simple guided meditation that they can relate too in a fun way and totally absorb their imagination into allows for all other things to fall away. They find themselves resting in stillness focused on the theme of the guided mediation. It may be I am calm, I am rested, I am patient, I sleep beautifully or I am safe.

Choose a meditation that appeals to their imagination:

Amy Hamilton’s Indigo Dreaming - Meditations for Children book or audio CD has 49 different meditation stories: Indigo Dreaming: Meditations for Children

Make it fun and short:

You imagine yourself sitting inside a pyramid. The air inside is warm you feel very calm and relaxed and there is no sound. You breathe in and out and feel the quiet in your body. Feel the quiet spread with each breathe until it fills the whole pyramid. It is serene and still. You say in my mind I am quiet ……. I am quiet………I am quiet.
