How are you all doing? Spring break is round the corner and I am giddy from excitement and counting down to a little break from the early morning school run....

When I found out I was pregnant with my first son, I was apprehensive and elated. Back then, the world was “normal”. I worked in the corporate world and my only desire was to see myself at the top of the corporate ladder. When I got pregnant again in the middle of a pandemic in the year 2020, I wasn’t quite as elated but I was just as apprehensive as the first time. I was in the process of relaunching my career in the middle of a pandemic and lockdown when I became pregnant.

In 2004, psychologist Cliff Arnall came up with a “formula” for the January blues. However, capitalism had a role to play as Arnall was asked to do so by travel firm, Sky Travel, who used the phrase to promote winter travel deals. Smart right? Arnall has since admitted that the formula was totally “formulated” and has urged people to refute the Blue Monday notion.

Using disposable nursing pads works out more expensive and less environmental friendly than using reusable nursing pads. On average, over a period of 6 months, nursing moms could go through 720 pieces of nursing pads (estimated cost of CAD 100), compared to a significantly fewer amount of reusable nursing pads that can be washed and reused as often as required (estimated cost of CAD 46 for 12 pairs (24pieces) that can be used for as long as required and repurposed there after).

Last year, we introduced our washcloths set and our Woodland Animals Art Print Set of 3. The experience was the epitome of doing it afraid, particularly doing it staring into the face of a pandemic.

In 2020, we were awarded the Most Sustainable High-Quality Baby products Brand 2020 - UK in the Luxe Life Magazine Parent & Baby Awards.
