Don’t you just love hearing about kids who are making a difference?

Handmade, Organic Baby Bedding from Cuddle Organics

Handmade, Organic Baby Bedding from Cuddle Organics

By Becky Striepe on July 19, 2010

Emily Burger is an organic fabric designer, former preschool teacher, and a mom. Now, she’s teamed up with two other crafty moms to launch Cuddle Organics. Emily says:

“We are three moms committed to creating the most beautiful and luxurious organic baby products available anywhere. The items are handmade with love starting from the fabric design and sewing to the packaging. We saw the lack of options out there for unique, cute, and fun organic items for baby and children, so we decided to take a plunge into making our own. We are having so much fun working together!”
