A strong earthy, deep-rooted loving red to represent the parents, and a fresh, soft new-born green to represent the young children (the subtle sage green of Kamloops hills). The red leaves of the logo are the parents: a couple, a mother (pregnant as shown by the 'bump' on the leaf) and a single parent. The children are between them and together the entire Kamloops “family' is centred/grounded by one focal point—family living and unity. As a team they present an exuberant yet simple flower... which speaks to a harmonious life and what true beauty really is all about—our relationships with eachother. The logo also evokes a sense of movement... the action and activity of a family in motion, “doing' things together.

Lynn Shanko has been laundering without detergent for a year!  The SmartKlean laundry ball has allowed her to make the switch.  She tosses her green ball into the machine with every wash.   Lynn sells the Smart Klean laundry ball from Lizzie Bits Baby Co.  The SmartKlean balls are getting terrific reviews from local customers making the switch to detergent-free.  Often, people are buying them as gifts for family and friends; what a great idea!

Erynn from Twisted Fae Fibre and Baby Works brings you this feature…

Earth day, when I was a teenaged activist I think it might have been my favourite day, and still it makes me want to get out in the sunshine, to breathe fresh air, to reduce reuse and recycle and to just remember to walk gently on the earth.

At Twisted Fae Fibre and Baby Works I try to walk gently on the earth. After all this Earth needs to be here for our little ones and their little ones too right?
I’m pretty passionate about creating functional, beautiful, artful stuff with my own two hands , my heart and my brain. And I’m crazy passionate about my kid, so that’s where my life has taken me, and I’d love you to come along with me! + READ MORE


Lucky #1!!

How often does that happen?!

We hosted an awesome giveaway from Ladybugz Slings N’ Things and we have a winner…

Kyla says “I am patiently awaiting the arrival of my first baby. I want to be a baby wearer! There are so many different sings and carriers out there – I’d love to support local and wear my baby in a Ladybugz sling :)

Kyla we are SO excited!!  to help you wear your baby.  Shannon’s and my experiences babywearing have been incredible; we are excited for you to embark on this journey, too!

I will be in touch!


My Ladybugz Ring Sling is absolutely amazing!

It is easy to use and very comfortable, for both myself and my 6 week old son! In fact, any time I have him in it, he is either having a nice cuddle or having a little snooze.

I use my sling all the time, around the house and out and about. In many of the situations where before I would have had him in his car seat or in his stroller, I now use the sling instead. When I have to make a trip to the store for a few items, I just plop my little guy into the sling instead of worrying about his car seat and a shopping cart, and he will usually just have a little cuddle and a nap. It is great for going on walks with my little man, and I am sure it is more comfortable for him than his stroller – bringing him back to his days in my womb I am sure!

I have my little guy in the sling when we are at church and he will be sleeping the entire time. The sling has a nice sized pocket that make these excursions easy because it holds my phone, wallet and an emergency diaper so I can leave the diaper bag in the car.

I honestly do not have a bad word to say about the Ring Sling! It is comfortable and convenient, but most important my son is comfortable in it.

And we both love the closeness of it; it is like having cuddle time at any time and anywhere!

Oh and not to mention the sling is quite trendy and stylish! I love it!

 

If you think that you would like to win one of these fantastic Ladybugz Ring Slings, we are thrilled that Shannon is donating a sling for a giveaway!

Just leave us a comment here letting us know why you think it would be great to have a sling. You can come back and enter your name every day until April 19th at 10pm.
