Sama Fan: Zac Hanson Welcomes Daughter Junia Rosa Ruth December 17, 2010

Back in May we received a thank you from the Hanson family for the gift we sent to John Ira Shepherd Hanson (“Shepherd”), for his 2nd birthday. Now the Hanson’s  are welcoming their 2nd child into the world, daughter Junia Rosa Ruth. Looks like we need to get a new gift basket together… Congratulations from the Sama Baby Team!!

Zac Hanson got an early holiday present on Wednesday – and it was exactly what he was hoping for.

The Hanson drummer and his wife Kate welcomed their second child, daughter Junia Rosa Ruth, who arrived at 8 lbs., 7 oz.

“We couldn’t imagine a better Christmas gift than this sweet little girl,” Hanson, 25, tells PEOPLE.

“In just the short time she’s been here, she’s enriched our family and our lives beyond measure,” he adds. “We’re looking forward to celebrating the season with our family and introducing her to everyone.”

Baby Junia joins brother Shepherd, 2½, and a half-dozen cousins ranging from age 2 to 8: Zac’s brother and bandmate Taylor has four kids while Isaac has two.

To dress your wild child–or to put together a last-minute Halloween costume with long-term wearabilty–Toto Knits offers adorable organic handmade knitwear, made entirely in Africa. For cute and cuddly organic cotton slippers, sweaters, hats, and scarves to clothe your WeeHugger, look below.

Encouraging trade, not aid, co-founders Erin Brennan Allan and Mary Wambui source their organic cotton from Uganda, where it is grown and spun then brought to Nairobi, where it is twisted, dyed, and Wambui trains and manages a group of up to 200 knitters.

“I provide a clean and comfortable working environment for my knitters–in most cases bringing the work to them,” said Allan, when asked in e-mail correspondence about the enforcement of fair trade standards. She continued, “They can work as much or as little as they like or are able to; are paid by the piece giving them flexibility to put their families first; and their wages are above the government minimum wages and reflect the cost of living in Nairobi for skilled workers.”

Pair these adorable sweaters with organic SAMA Baby pants and skirts and wear them all winter long.  www.SamaBaby.com

H&M – Organic Cotton News for Moms! October 1, 2010

Hello Ladies! So, you may have heard European retailer H&M has made a push into the organic cotton world. Of course, it’s always great to hear organic cotton being used instead of that icky chemical filled stuff! Here are some details:

H&M has confirmed that by 2020, it will source only ‘sustainable’ cotton, most of it as part of the company’s involvement in the Better Cotton Initiative, writes Tone Skårdal Tobiasson in Copenhagen.

Addressing more than 150 delegates at the recent NICE (Nordic Initiative Clean & Ethical) Fashion’s fall conference in Copenhagen, Catarina Midby, Head of Fashion Communications, H&M, updated delegates on the company’s development of its ‘restricted chemicals list’ and its five-year organic cotton-plan which she confirmed was ahead of schedule; with an original pledge to source 15,000 tons of organic cotton by 2013, the company hit the 8,500 tons mark by the end of  2009.

Organic cotton production does not simply mean replacing synthetic fertilizers and pesticides with organic ones. Organic cultivation methods are based more on knowledge of agronomic processes than input-based conventional production is. This process takes time because farms need to complete a two-year conversion period to change their production system from conventional to organic. An essential element of organic production is the careful selection of varieties adapted to local conditions in terms of climate, soil and robustness to pests and diseases.

Welcome to the fabulous world of organic cotton H&M! 🙂

With fall in the air, its time to  check out your little ones closet and asses. Most likely you won’t get away with reusing  jeans from the previous season. But we know you may have so many fond memories of little Johnny in his favorite pair, you can’t imagine throwing them out!

It’s hard to part with a beloved pair of jeans, but when they become too worn, too small, or too stained, it’s time to let go. Well, at least out of the closet, that is. Don’t toss them out for good!  Here are some creative ways to spice up your favorite pair and let their memory live on. (planetgreen.com)

1. Area rug
Use several scraps of denim to create this beautiful quilted patchwork rug.

2. Coasters
Even the seams of your jeans can be reused. Make these great coasters by rolling the seams and gluing with fabric paint. Quick, easy, and really cute!

3. Memory Box
Cover a box with denim fabric to make this sturdy memory box. It’s the perfect place to store photographs, ticket stubs, and letters from friends. Tuck the pocket inside to hold smaller items.

4. Oven Mitt
Lined with mylar batting, this mitt is will protect your hand from the heat.

5. Lap Desk
Use a lid from an old storage tote and the fabric from your old jeans to make this handy lap desk. This would be a perfect gift for kids or teens.

Champion Race Car Driver Sam Hornish Jr. and Family are Sama Fans! September 13, 2010

Addison Hornish Sam Hornish Jr.,  driver of the #77 Mobil 1 Dodge, stands on the grid with his wife  Crystal and daugher Addison prior to the start of the NASCAR Sprint Cup  Series Crown Royal Presents the Heath Calhoun 400 at Richmond  International Raceway on May 1, 2010, 2010 in Richmond, Virginia.

Hornish, who remains one of the most decorated drivers in IndyCar Series history, is also a loving dad to his daughter Addison. Known for his late race passes, Hornish has been involved in four of the top-10 closest finishes in IndyCar Series history, as he won three of them.

Although Hornish is a world-class racer, he has not forgotten his roots and is actively involved in community efforts across the country. In his hometown of Defiance, Ohio, Hornish was involved in the creation of a senior center for local residents as well as the addition of a heart center at Defiance Medical Center.

Hornish also turned his love of bowling into a successful charity campaign over the past five years during the fall race weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. In conjunction with Speedway Children’s Charities, Hornish has raised over $500,000 to benefit the children of north Texas.  The Sama team loves that about him 🙂

We wanted to share the thank you letter we received from Sam Hornish Jr. and family through Jewels and Pinstripes, on the personalized “Addison Faith” cardstore stationery that was included in the bag.

We can’t thank you enough for all the fun stuff you sent for Addison’s 2nd Birthday!  We truly appreciate your kindness & thoughtfulness.  Addie loves her backpack & she looks adorable with new barrettes 🙂

Thanks Again,
Sam, Crystal & Addison

Thanks for the kind words Hornish family!!
