Time For An Update

I'm a little bit too excited here, I'm afraid I might spill the beans on some very VERY cool diapers we have coming...so I'm not going to...not yet anyways.
So an update instead ;)

Spring is on its way, so we are now accepting Spring Items on Consignment. Which includes, rain gear, rain boots, rain hats....
Well and cute Easter dresses lighter clothing and springish attire.

BumGenius Organic Cotton prefolds have arrived. These are being sold in packs of 6 in a cute little cloth bag. That being said we now stock Snappi's in the Toddler size 2.

We are fully stocked up in the popular Bio-Soft liners by Bummis in small and large sizes.

Just received word from the post, and AppleCheeks diapers will be in on March 4th!
These are proving to be a favorite diaper of ours. So super trim. We are stocking the Hemp and Bamboo inserts to go with.

Sewfunky Ring Slings will be fully stocked(again)this week. And we are working with a very savvy mom on the ways of baby carrying, we will be hosting her baby wearing/carrying workshop. Stay tunned for the details.

Did I mention all the cool diapers we are testing.....

And we are testing some great local laundry detergents. We are hoping to reccommend something other than the Country Save at London Drugs...we really like to support local and earth friendly, so stay tunned for all our reviews!

A reminder to all moms, our change table and nursing chair are always yours to use. Please think of us as a comfortable welcoming spot to care for your children.
We also have a washroom and a microwave/hotwater if you need to warm up bottles.

See you soon!

Another Exciting Addition!

AppleCheeks! A true breakthrough in reusable diapering. Similar to a 2 in one diaper, you can use the AppleCheeks envelope cover as a cover with a soft hemp or bamboo insert placed on top, as this cover snuggly holds the insert in place.

You can also use this envelope cover as a pocket system by inserting the insert inside the opening of the envelope cover.
Complete with snaps. and truly the timmest fit. As close as a disposible fit as you can get.
These guys make the softest bamboo inserts we have tried and they truly do a great job!
It's a fold to fit insert with has many uses and can fit in any other cloth diaper.
The envelope cover and insert are sold separatley so you can customize your package.

All this and MADE IN CANADA!

These will be arriving in less than 2 weeks, come on down and check them out!

Introducing.....Blueberry!

BLUEBERRY diapers!

One-size snap diaper fits 8-35lbs. Each diaper comes with a Hemp/Microfiber combo insert.

Ultra absorbant with a great fit. Fresh new colors and made in the U.S.A

These diapers have a great rating on Diaper Pin and they meet our tests!

The Goodness of Wool

Wool Dryer Balls! Yup, a great eco-friendly alternative to the traditional PVC dryer balls.

These wool dryer balls, are handmade by a very talented local Momma, after her search for

something similar turned up not existent locally and too expensive to ship.

So here we have them at Little Me. We are so excited about these balls, they are great for drying cloth diapers, reducing drying time up to 20 minutes! And no more static, for diapers or laundry. You can just use 1 Ball or as many as you like.

We all know the potential hazards when using PVC related products, so Go Green and Go Wool!

And supporting this local Momma is pretty great too ;)

Dress Me Up

Organic natural play, Dress Me Up is sewing up organic natural infant toys fresh out of

Victoria, BC. Tressa Brotsky the creator of Dress Me Up share's her vision of environmental responsibility and her desire for a more collective, attentive relationship with nature.

She uses "Slow" organics and hand spun eco-wool, which means it is milled closer to home and supports small local businesses, creating less of an environmental footprint.

A few of our favorites are the Teething BonBon. Two knots on the end allow it to be wet and frozen, great for fussy teethers.

Another is the Cloth Ball, Each Organic Cloth Ball is one of a kind. Organic cottons of varying texture, colour and print are brought together to create a natural wealth of visual and tactile delight. Perfect for imaginative, quiet and gentle indoor play. Ideal for baby and toddler alike.

Coming soon are Organic Leaf Bibs and RaRa Rabbit Rattles.

Grab Your Bag Comox Valley!

"Grab Your Bag" is the final phase of the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce campaign to dramatically reduce single use plastic bags in the Comox Valley. You can get the coveted Eco-Bag at Little Me for only $1.

The Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce wants to see business and citizens working together to dramatically reduce plastic bag use in the Comox Valley.We want to show what is possible when a critical mass of shoppers start buying and using re-usable bags - and remembering to bring them back to the store. If we reduce our use by 50-80% we will make a huge difference! Even if we take our meats and frozen items in plastic and all our dried goods/fruit and veggies in reusable bags will achieve a significant reduction.

The Eco-Bag is made from recycled plastic single use bags.

These will be available Tuesday Feb 10th!
