How our products help

Learn how our products help people and the planet

When I created bebe milestones, I thought a lot about its impact on our world. I wanted to make people feel good and help them celebrate special moments. Additionally, I wanted my products to foster connection among parents and normalize all parts of parenting: the good, bad and ugly!

As a nice-to have “luxury” gift item and not a necessity, I also needed them to be kid-safe, environmentally conscience, and help those in need. 

Luckily I found a printing partner who also prioritizes these same things and helped me produce beautiful products that ticked all these boxes. 

MCRL Group operates with the highest standards in safety, particularly with children’s products. They are a trusted supplier for books and toys for Disney and Walmart, and have rigorous safety standards in place. 

They also believe in producing products with the least environmental impact possible, and accomplish this through their Trees for the Future partnership and commitment to planting 10,000 trees annually. 

Read more about Trees for the Future –  an incredible organization committed to training communities on sustainable land use to grow vibrant economies, thriving food systems and a healthier planet. 

Additionally, I wanted to help families in our own communities with issues such as food scarcity, unaffordable housing, domestic violence and mental health support. That’s why I’ve committed a portion of each sale of my “Real Firsts” milestone cards to helping children and parents in need. So thank you, for helping me help others!

Slicing prices over here…

Friends, it’s been a minute…

As a new entrepreneur, I had big plans. I came up with an idea for a cool product, I designed it, found someone to manufacture and then launched it. And guess what?

Not much happened. Turns out there’s this thing called hustle that you need to sell products. Who knew?

Also other things like business sense and mentorship.

Well, folks that is all in hand now! I have found a mentor, social media advertising expert and was fortunate enough to connect with big-wigs in the product world to help, so plans are well underway (at my own turtle’s pace) to expand my store and start selling products.

Here are some things you may notice in the coming weeks:

1. Additional inventory in my online store!

Cute baby and toddler hair accessories suitable for birthday, first communion or flower girl wear.

2. The addition of a second set of milestone cards that document baby’s age – aptly called “My AGE” they feature watercolour woodland creatures to make you smile extra big for the camera.

3. A huge price slash on “Real Firsts” funny milestone card deck of $10 per deck – we want this to be affordable and be accessible to more people – so add to cart, please people!

Please check back and show us some love when you have the chance. As always, we are fortunate to have you follow our journey! 🙂
