Welcome!

March 8th, 2008

Welcome to our blog! Little Capucine is our daughter, and this blog is dedicated to the products and inspiration we put together for life with her.

When we first started assembling the basics, we were dismayed to realize that most purchases required a lot of research on consumer sites and parent boards before we could single in on the product to buy, and then we had to find a place selling the actual product we’d chosen. All our shopping was online because our little beach town doesn’t have stores that sell baby products (honestly). It was a lot of very dull internet hours - but the upside is that we could share what we winnowed out of the wide world of baby products in a blog!

The searching was lengthy mostly because our preference is for natural products, and as few of them as possible. We’re (slowly) fixing up our tiny storage-less bungalow, and along the way we’ve had to learn the ecology of living with less, especially when we’re shuttling belongings from one ‘construction zone’ to the next as projects are completed! Our pending baby increased our sensitivity to chemicals in clothes, food and furniture a lot, so ‘healthy’ became a top criteria. (Formaldehyde in baby mattresses? What? How can that be good?)

About the store: You’ll notice a link to our store in the header. Some of the products we find are on Amazon, so like a lot of bloggers, we put together an Amazon storefront with the good stuff we found there. We get a few cents when you purchase products there, and you don’t have to wade through all the random stuff on the full Amazon site. We don’t blog about anything we’re not genuinely into, and we’ll always point out when a link is to our store. This is not a pay-for-posting blog! If you enjoy this blog, buying from the store helps us pay for running it, and you get a big thanks from us for the support!

Hope you enjoy our finds and get inspired to find the best for your own little ones!
