Save CBC

Update - In the last 72 hours almost 50,000 Canadians have signed the petition to Save the CBC! Let's up the pressure to 100,000 -- If you haven't signed or forwarded the email yet, here it is below:


Dear friends,


The government is forcing the CBC to drastically cut 800 staff and programming. We urgently need a massive public outcry to Save the CBC:


Sign the petition!



Canada’s media networks have all been slammed by the recession. But the government is reportedly considering bailouts for its friends at private companies CTV and CanWest, while forcing the CBC and Radio Canada to drastically cut 800 staff and programming.


Our CBC is a national treasure, and a pillar of public-interest journalism in a country whose media is owned by a few large firms. We won’t hear an outcry from their media outlets, and the CBC is too principled to use its megaphone to make the case for itself. We are the only voice the CBC has.


We urgently need a massive public outcry to Save the CBC, click below to sign the petition. The government is weak and falling in the polls and enough outrage can make the difference. Parliamentarians have promised to deliver the petition directly in the House of Commons, and we'll even fly a plane and banner over Parliament Hill with the message! Sign now, and forward this email to everyone who might care about this:

The number of signatures on the petition will be crucial to the effectiveness of the campaign, so let’s get everyone who cares about the CBC and Radio Canada to sign.


The CBC is facing a budget shortfall that amounts to just $6 per Canadian, but its request to the government for a bridging loan to cover this was denied. The deep cuts the CBC is making will damage the organization across the board, and they will not be the last. If we don’t stand up for the CBC now, it stands to die a death by a thousand cuts. Harper’s minority government is politically vulnerable and falling in the polls – public outrage could turn the government around on this, but it has to happen now. Let's move quickly.

Introducing....Amber Babies!

Made in Canada by a lovely Mom, Kristiana.

A little bit about Amber;

Baltic amber is a traditional European remedy for teething. Amber is a natural analgesic and when worn on the skin, it releases healing oils that helps babies and young children to stay calm and more relaxed thoughout teething. Amber necklaces are a great natural remedy and can eliminate the need for over the counter drugs.

Natural amber necklace facts:
· A natural analgesic, amber will help calm a baby without resorting to drugs.
· Amber is a fossilized resin, not a stone. It is therefore warm to the touch, as well as very comfortable and light to wear.
· Wearing Baltic amber necklaces on the skin can have a soothing and calming effect on teething babies and toddlers.
· Amber’s anti-inflammatory and therapeutic properties are also recognized by allopathic medicine. In Austria, Switzerland and Germany, you will find amber teething necklaces sold in local pharmacies.

Not to mention the cute factor!!

These will be available in less than 2 weeks, we are carrying all 3 styles Amber Babies Offers.

Arrivals

Blueberry Diapers have arrived! We have a very small supply as these are
hard to get ahold of, but do not fret, we are re-ordering asap.
Blueberry's are a great one-size pocket diaper with snaps, fleece inner
and a microfiber/hemp insert. They are a workhorse diaper and our spring colors are super cute!


Applecheeks will be here tomorrow! We have Hemp and Bamboo inserts with them. These ultra trim sized pocket diapers are the in house favorite!

We have had great response to our new line Dolly n' Boo. We are carrying their reversible dresses and handbags to match. We have already had to reorder and they have only been on the wall for 1 day! We are also getting in some headbands.

The last diaper Kris and I have been testing is fully a winner! But there is a bit of a wait to order them as they are uber popular so hopefully we will get word soon.
I will keep you updated.

Swaddlebees bamboo infant prefolds have arrived they work great as an insert as well.
super cool colors too!

Thats all for now folks! More great stuff to come!

Oh...we are also going to be carrying the Bum Genius Organic, One-size All In One.
Little longer to dry then the pockets we carry, and I know we are not the biggest fans of traditional AIO diapers, but I really like this one and I think Dads and Daycares will too! They are on their way!

Woah take a Breath!

Is what Kristina and I had to tell ourselves after todays Babyfair in Nanaimo.
There are some amazing moms out there!

So we found a really REALLY cute clothing line made in Vancouver by a stay at home mom. Nothing has made us go this crazy! We bring you exclusively....

Dolly and Boo

These little dresses are reversible and fits as a dress for small ones and shirts for bigger....really way too cute!
