Whew! Life just seemed to get complicated. You are now responsible for the  most precious gift in the world - your child. Unfortunately your little bundle did not come with instructions and it can seem very overwhelming. On top of that you not only want to do want will provide your child with a warm and loving environment but also do what is right for the planet.

Earth's General Store offers products that we believe will be healthier for your precious child, you, and the planet. Whether this is organic baby care products, cloth diapers, diaper covers/wraps, drinking/nursing bottles, slings/carriers/baby wearing products, as well as magazines and books to help parents travel the path that provides a balance between your beliefs, your child's needs, and the environmental impact of anotehr person on the planet.

To save money on the first years of having your baby in your life I suggest the following:

• Network with other parents (family, friends, co-workers) to see if they have any clothing, diapers, bottles, etc available. Quite often they will give these items to you but a gift in return will always be appreciated;
• Check out garage sales, rummage sales, second hand children stores, and the second hand stores. You can quite often find great deals here but you have to visit them often to find the right size.
• Check out Earth Cycle, Kijiji, or Craig's List for possible good deals
• Post an "Items Wanted" ad at Earth's General Store so you can let people know you would gladly welcome second hand baby items
