"Silver Lining"

This picture of the tramatic event that happened Tuesday 23rd at 1:30pm-actually makes me rather excited...Now. At the time there were FireFighters, Removed toilets for water dispersement, Tears, Screaming, Shaking, Hugs, Support, Cinnamon Buns and now we see the "Silver Lining"

Karen McKinnon invented the "Silver Lining" She with her Buds at Roots the Salon created happiness from disaster.

This wasn't our "job" it was our 3rd child. We didn't decide to bring in Cloth diapers and our unique new products to get rich-this is our passion, it's all passion for us. And now its Wet. Wet beyond wet and dirty. But we were very lucky to have our Consignment section saved-how we are baffled but untouched. Thank you water gods for saving our "bread and butter"

Now with the help of this amazing community we carry on-in many ways better off. Our Spirits are soaring and our new sign will be high....

Please check back for our new location announcement- heres a hint...

If you can see Bikes...you can see us :)

Open for business Monday November 29th (fingers crossed)

Safe Baby Wearing

We have seen and heard alot about safe baby wearing in the media these days, this subject is very important to us. We promote Attachment Parenting choices including wearing your children. It's proven to be benefical to you and the babe. lets start with a few reason why babywearing is great;

1. You can feed your baby while still taking care of your needs
2. You can shop, cook, and walk while baby is close and near you
3. Your baby will feel loved and safe at all times while your hands free!
4. Your baby will cry less
5. Your baby gets your view
6. You get to snuggle and interact while your hands free!
7. Baby Wearing is beneficial to your baby's hip development

Safe Baby Wearing and Correct Positioning are Important to us

For Newborns, we do not promote Pouch slings, or Padded ring slings, as well as Soft Shell Buckle Carriers-for extended use. In the toddler Stage, pouches and padded slings are great for hip carries!

We do promote Woven wraps(Storchenwiege) Stretchy Wraps(Moby, Panda) and unpadded Ring Slings(Sewfunky)

For older babies 15lbs and up(general) a Mei Tai(Baby Hawk) or Soft Shelled Buckle Carrier(Boba 2G)(Pipa Pack) as well as the continued use of Woven Wraps and Unpadded Ring Slings, are all great choices.

Having your newborn baby properly positioned on your body is crucial to hip development and digestion to name a few. Baby being in an upright position always facing you(never facing out!) is safest with the frog leg position with feet out of the wrap or sling.
We never promote the cradle position for any age.


We are currently working with our certified expert to bring you up to date and safe information on carrier use. Please stay tuned for the date release of our next baby wearing info session-helping you choose the best carrier for your needs.

Thank-you and snuggle your babies!!

Here is a great(kinda funny) picture curtosy of Storchenwiege, of a Mother wearing Triplets!!

A Proud Addition to the Baby Wearing Inventory

Pipa Creations : Pipa Pack

Who said you can't have comfort and style? Designed with you and your baby in mind. This is a front and back baby carrier. The straps criss-cross each other on your back to distribute the weight of your baby evenly so you don't have a constant pulling on your shoulders. ( It also has a sternum strap for when you have the baby/toddler on your back.) This carrier will take you from small baby (when they can hold their head up) to toddler (35-40lbs). You put the carrier on adjust it (dual adjusting buckles for ease) and than open the front to put the baby in, so easy.
-----------------------------------------------------------
All the packs are hand made, triple stitched, and reinforced in areas that have more weight on them. Three layers of material are used for the main body. Padding for the head and legs for comfort, plus a bonus hidden pocket in the front panel. A variety of designer fabric is used for the front panels.
=====================================
The base of the pack is 12" with darting which makes a more comfortable sit for the baby. The widest point is the headrest which is 14" . The body height is 19". 3.5 inch padded shoulder straps (adjust to 33') are comfortable and help distribute the weight across your shoulders and back. The waist belt is 4 inches high and padded with a dense foam for maximum support. The belt is can extend to 60" inches long( longer custom straps are available) The packs fit most people between just under five feet to just over 6 feet.



We sold the first prototype packs last year and we are over-joyed to have them back!
Amanda the owner and creator of the great carriers also make beautiful dresses we have have in our store this year as well..

Sweet Pea Diapers

Sweet Pea diapers are the "most competitively priced multi-functional cloth diapers on the market"…..

Wonderful for your baby, superb for you, great for the environment and fantastic for your wallet!
We have brought together all the benefits of cloth diapering; absorbent, soft, environmentally friendly, ease of use styling and all the while maintaning, value pricing for you!



We are really excited to offer this great line, Nancy from Sweet Pea is a pleasure to work with and has created a great product!

We have brought in the one-size cover 8-35lbs $9.95
One-Size pocket diaper complete with 2 inserts 8-35lbs $15.95
One Size All in 3 with hemp and microfiber snap in soakers $20.95

These diapers are a nice trim fit, with thirsty inserts, and I find the fit is similar to the BG 3.0 but with snaps, so it may be a little snug at the 35lbs mark but its true to its sizing.

I find the front opening a little different, and hard to get used to, but washing is super simple, just shake the inserts out, best part zero leaks!

* Snaps: 1 year warranty
* Elastics, sewing and any manufacturer dysfunction: 6 months
* Any wear and tear is not covered under warranty.

Designed in Canada, manufactured in China. The company is ISO 900 registered and follows superior standards in environmental, ethical and labor laws.
