Our
motto is: "Keep it Simple." Simplifying our
lives can be an enriching experience. And when it
comes to caring for your baby, the wisdom in this adage
becomes all the more apparent. With all the baby
gadgetry available today, caring for your child can seem
daunting and complex. Our goal is to offer our customers
an alternative. Take a look around our site, and we think
you will quickly catch on to the idea.
The products we carry are the products we use and love. Taken
as a whole, they offer a vision of simplicity: quality
products that are better for you, your baby, and the world
we share.
Wearing you baby
For
us, the best way to maintain simplicity was to wear our
son, Gabriel, in a sling. A sling keeps your baby
close and happy. In short, it keeps things organic. You
will be amazed at how the sling brings your baby into
your life and routine so completely and naturally. The
benefits are astounding and numerous--you can read more
about this on the "Benefits
of Baby Wearing" page. Feel free to experiment
with different carrying positions and even try a few
of your own derivations on the traditional ones, provided
of course that your little one is safe and secure. For
photos and tips on some possible tying positions,
visit the DIDYMOS carrying
positions page.
Cloth Diapering
To
new parents, cloth diapering can seem overwhelming. The
greatest reason for this feeling is the lack of presence
of cloth diapering in today's culture. The reality
is that cloth diapering, whilst being both easy and economical,
is also fun and even a little stylish. Cloth diapering can be
simple. Little Beetle diapers are
all the above: easy, economical, stylish and simple. Tips
and ideas on how to get started can be found on the Cloth
Diapering Basics page.
Co-sleeping
(the family bed)
There are a myriad of bed sharing philosophies
from the occasional couple of extra hours of morning
sleep to ecological breastfeeding. Sometimes parents
are not sure which nighttime strategy is best for their
family. Aware of the complexities of being a parent,
Tres
Tria is an ideal product to suit the growing and
changing needs of families as they try to find harmony
in their nighttime routines.
Care Products
A
baby's skin needs extra tender care. But couldn't we
all use more gentle care products? Unfortunately, the
products we so often use to care for our bodies actually
do harm to both ourselves and the environment. Here
are some alternatives from Jason and Weleda that we
love for babies as well as for mom
and dad.
Nutrition
I
think we can all agree that much of the food we eat
today is devitalized and lacking in nutrients. Here
are a few simple ways and products to
introduce some raw food options into you and your baby's
diet.
Take
the OXO-Good Grips grater
for an example. Run a piece a fruit or veg across it
and voila quick baby food whether at home or about
town.
Have others help you get the things you and your little
one need to keep it simple!

Mothering Magazine
I
have learned so much from this resource. It is much awaited
in our household every other month. And it truly lives
up to it's name - it is about mothering, families and
living naturally. We love it!!
