As a mother of two young children, I constantly feel as if I’m being pulled in several different directions, and I’ve come to appreciate anything that saves me time and energy. Therefore, I adore products that serve double (or even multiple) purposes, allowing me to save my sanity for my things that really matter, like my family. Things like slow cookers, beautiful yet comfortable shoes, and uncomplicated hairstyles appeal to me.

While I desire simplicity, at the same time I crave excitement and stylishness. I want to feel hip, feminine, and chic, but still comfortable and sane. Thankfully, simplicity doesn’t necessarily have to be boring. There are so many products out there that help moms like me to keep things simple and still feel funky and fun. Today, I’d like to bring two such products to your attention.

Beckons Organic:

When some people think of organic clothing, they picture scratchy fabrics that are baggy, wrinkly and none too stylish. These people have obviously never tried Beckons Organic clothing! The Love Yoga Skirt is very appropriately named, because I am smitten with this wonderful garment! When I received my Love skirt, the first thing I noticed was the incredibly soft fabric. Then I tried it on and I loved the fit! Have you owned a piece of clothing that just makes you feel good? When I wear my Love Yoga Skirt, I feel comfortable, cute and feminine, and I must admit that I find myself making frequent trips past my full-length mirror so I can watch myself twirl around! And I don’t have to worry about showing off my underwear, because there are cute built-in shorts beneath.

The skirt is very versatile. I’ve worn it for moderate workouts, get-togethers, and running errands around town. All my friends want one! Recently, I wore this skirt to a barbecue, and was very upset when my daughter spilled cranberry juice all over it. All I could do was dab it with a wet rag. I was sure my Love skirt was ruined! The next morning, I soaked the skirt for a couple hours and threw it in the washer. Unbelievably, the stain came out perfectly! The Love Yoga Skirt  from Beckons Organic is my new favorite item of clothing!

cinda b Bags:

Looking for a gym bag that is stylish, and can also be used for a trip to the park or shopping with the kid? Look no further! The cinda b Overnighter is the perfect size for carrying all your necessities, whether you’re planning a trip to the gym or an overnight at the in-laws. This quilted bag comes several very cute colors and it has a "big mouth," which enables you to cram it as full as possible, and also makes searching for that elusive binky a heck of a lot easier! The material is a mother’s dream: soft, squishy, lightweight, water-resistant, and machine washable! Why settle for a granny purse or a generic duffle bag when you can purchase something as fun and hip as a cinda b Overnighter?
