The Kat:
I'm a full-time mama to a beautiful girl (she'll be one this month). It's been a long journey to the type of parent I am now. I started by researching breastfeeding and cloth diapering. I then realized I wanted to do things as "naturally" as possible, which led to babywearing (I don't really know how people parent without wearing their babes). Now I'm obsessed with all things cloth diaper and babywearing, and I hope to share that with you!
The Mouse (aka Em):
I always wanted to be an artist, I just thought it would be visual but now I'm more into creating practical art and crafting. Most of my jobs have involved working with children, so although I am not yet a parent children's products are a natural outgrowth of my artistic ability.
The Kat meets The Mouse:
We met in kindergarten. Mouse's mom watched Kat after school. There was animosity. There was a (literal) slap in the face. There was guilt-induced niceness, which led to genuine niceness, which led to best friendship. Twenty years later, we have the kind of friendship where we can go months without talking and pick right up where we left off (though we rarely go months without talking anymore), where we can always say the truth (even when it's not nice), and where we know we will always always always be there for one another.
Thus, we begin our endeavor in the natural parenting world. We strive to create thoughtfully repurposed children's products. In an effort to save previously loved items from the landfill, we
thrift most of our materials. Old sheets, towels, and clothing, gently softened by time, make lovely, malleable children's products. We hope you'll love them as much as we do. Perhaps, as we teach ourselves to be thoughtful with our earth, we can pass that knowledge on to our children by giving them beautiful things that have new life breathed into them.
We will forever be learning. It gladdens our hearts that you join us on this journey.
