Locally Owned Spotlight Monday!


Hey! Oh man... have you got to check out Verde Kids! It is such an amazing and unique store. I am in love. Jessica, started Verde Kids to help start kids out with almost no carbon footprint (how cool is that?!?). She believes in giving gifts you can feel good about giving! They have stuffed animals made from recycled plastic bottles, sandwich bags you can just toss in the dishwasher and organic clothing! The place is stocked with wonderful and good solid toys.

Verde Kids believes in living a green lifestyle, and she purchases LOCALLY! Some of her signs are from Old Barn Rescue and Joe Moore! They are centrally located right in the heart of Webster Groves, with great parking and wide aisle's perfect to get through with those strollers!




















I love how when Jessica goes to purchase an item she thinks about everything that makes it GREEN! What is it made out of?, Who makes it? Where was it made? How is the packaging? and What is it's lifetime, can it be passed on and its durability? I mean way to go above and beyond. She also said that if you order clothes online you can request that they come in a single package instead of receiving each shirt in its own individual plastic wrapping! What a great tip!


This weeks giveaway is for $10 off at Verde Kids, so all you need to do is leave a comment here, and one HERE and one HERE and you will be in the drawing! There are so many great back to school supplies and think the holiday's coming up! So many great options!
