What’s our Story?

I hope you’ve found our site informative and a solid jumping point in learning how to make healthier choices for your entire family. We’re based in South Bend, Indiana and Tallahassee, Florida-- yet our “community” stretches from coast-to-coast.

Like many other mama-operated businesses, Ecological Babies was founded so that I could stay home with my children, while also giving me a chance to utilize some of my other creative energy. I wanted to be able to empower and connect with other local families who share similar values.

When I was pregnant, I needed to have someone physically show and teach me about cloth diapers. As a necessity, I turned to our important resource, the internet, and instantly became overwhelmed. Honestly, if I hadn’t been truly committed to using cloth diapers, I probably would have given up. With a variety of diapers to choose from, confusing myths and facts, and simply being such a novice, it seemed like such a radical decision. But after using them, I realized this is an option many families could easily utilize and would benefit many (babies’ bottoms, environment, your wallet).

Give me an hour or so of your time, and I’ll give you the opportunity to learn how easy it is to choose cloth diapers and other natural parenting products. If your still not convinced it’s a practical option for your family, you haven’t spent a dime and at least know you’ve given it a chance. Your baby and our planet are worth it!
