Excuse the mess, we've just set up house. You must be wondering what this is all about. I read an article awhile ago about how the Finnish government gives out boxes of baby essentials to any expecting parent who would like one and was inspired. It's just such an amazing way to make sure that every baby starts life with everything they need. (There is a link with more details on the Finnish boxes on the "What Are Sweet Baby Starter Kits Page" above, as well as more information about what is in mine.)
My versions are a bit humbler, with mostly good quality used items in them and targeting the Guelph, Ontario area. Instead of the government supplying the items, I have been collecting donations from local parents. My goal is to someday be able to give every baby in Guelph an equal start in life. Care to join me?
Oh my goodness - I just gave away an entire 'garbage' bag of gently used newborn clothes this weekend. Would love to make donations to you - i'm sure we'll come across more stuff, and our baby is almost due so as she grows we can pass things along. What a great project!
