BC Wildlife almost forgotten

A few weeks ago we realized my daughter didn't know what a Marmot was. Hmmm and the marmot is a very important animal to our province. We then realized she didn't know much about the wildlife in BC. She know's all about Zebra's and Hippo's, Panda's and Parrots, but you ask her what a Wolverine is and, no clue, to be honest neither did I!
So when we were contacted by Kermode kids it made sence to carry the first of their great products to come.
The Go Fish, British Columbia Wildlife addition, is beautiful, descriptive and real.
My little one is right into games right now so we are playing this a few times a day.

Best part of it all...this Mom run company is from Kamloops BC!

BerryPlush Snap AIO


These chic diapers are a must have for any diaper stash! The outer shells are a plush layer of Minkee fabric with an inner layer of coordinating pul. There is a snap in soaker that is bamboo topped with a layer of white Minkee. Extra Bamboo inserts are sold separately so you can change for a new one when soiled and continue using the cover. Truly the best of both worlds.

Minkee fabric is SO soft that you will find it hard to resist touching it! It is definitely addictive!!

There may be alot of babies this fall not wearing pants! As these diapers are way to nice!

To top it all off, they are made by our friends at Jamtots in Victoria, BC

Come feel them for yourself!

Green moms find their niche as diapering entrepreneurs


Comox Valley EchoPublished: Friday, September 05, 2008


Two local moms long passionate about making healthy choices for their families have opened up shop in Courtenay with a mind to make going green affordable and accessible for area families.
Offering FREE comprehensive cloth diapering seminars to local parents with new babies has made their new venture retooling Little Me Consignment into an eco-friendly one-stop baby shop an instant success
Sherry Turnbull, 29, and Kristina Jespersen, 33, took over Little Me at #105-2270 Cliffe Ave in June after long-time owner Dana Watson sold the business to spend more time with her family.
While the consignment portion of the business hasn't changed, Turnbull and Jespersen have empowered parents to think both green and local through the diapers and other new products offered.
They are busy building community and supporting family businesses by carrying a wide range of toys and baby gear in their Made by Mommas section (all Canadian) as well as bringing in the hottest green baby and toddler products including Haba Toys, Barefoot Books, WestCoastBaby and Veggie Shoes, keep things affordable with minimal markups.
Little Me's next diaper workshop is sure to draw a crowd.
Come check out why everyone is buzzing about this diminutive mom-owned consignment store and how easy they've made cloth diapering at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 15 or in on Oct. 20.
