Given the amount of time your baby spends sleeping, the FixAFlatBabyPillow, made from one natural ingredient - mustard seeds - offers a non-toxic alternate to the head shaping pillows currently available.

Here is part of an interview with the co-founder of The Honest Company as to why this is important... "the air intake of a resting infant is twice that of an adult per pound of body weight...if that air is loaded with VOCs, that baby’s exposure is double that of an adult. Also, children’s bodies are growing and developing rapidly, so chemicals that can harm development can do maximum damage at this critical time."

In gratitude for all that my family has been blessed with, I make a yearly donation to www.Ichafoundation.org

This is an organization in India started by Madhu, an amazing lady I have the good fortune of knowing. At the age of 55, she gave up her thriving business, sold her jewelry and apartment to adopt 15 children (and counting,) most of them with severe disabilities. She strives to provide these babies with the same love and standard of living that she provided her biological son with.I admire her courage and hope to support her in my own small way.

In my daily life and while making anything for sale, I try my best to not put anything into the trash that can be recycled...so every scrap of fabric is collected for recycling. FYI, H&M has a fabulous program where you can drop off unwanted, old, torn clothes( including scraps,) in exchange for a 15% off coupon!

When I buy something online and it comes in a huge box with tonnes of bubble wrap, brown paper, printed invoices etc. I am saddened by the amount of waste that purchase has generated.

So with my store I do not offer printed invoice and instructions, things that I make available online.

Please contact me if you want a plain packaging option wherein the item will be placed directly in a padded envelop - a safe, but plain choice.
