I also would like to say that I really do support anyone with entrepreneurial spirit, especially in this economy. And I certainly feel that a green baby store is way better then another store that is just in business to market junk to our kids. I appreciate fully that the store is trying to present some very good options to moms and dads, a lot of whom may not have known that there is an alternative to toxic, mass produced toys and clothes that come from countries that don't have a healthy standard for their production (and also contribute massively to multiple global social crises), and many who probably never even thought about it before entering the store. So, in that, I think the shop will certainly serve a purpose, however, for the seasoned mama, who has spent a lot of time researching cloth diapering, baby wearing, and natural parenting because it's a way of life to her, she may not find it all that usefull. I did not see anything that I
HAD to have, and I mean that literally. There were plenty of things that I could have indulged in, if finances were different, but there are other resources out there, where we can really be enlightened by other mamas who have really walked the walk, and committed to this way of life, and who provide some real necessities, and my choice would be to support that first. (Not that there is necessairly only room for supporting one or the other, but in MY budget there is). So I wish her well with her business, and hope she is able to realize her goal and enlighten parents and provide them with some fun, earth friendly things.
