I have been out of the baby business for a long time, but you are so right about all the stuff that we buy and how much lives on forever in a land fill. I will keep this in mind when I should be in the position to become a grandma.. Thank you..

How cool ...Ruth: So thrilled you shared the post! How cool to think I played some part of that conversation. This makes me smile.<br />Do you read Mothering? The couple in the article did pick two "big purchase" items and they were a wooden high chair and a stroller. I personally found a sling to be much more convenient, but my Mom bought a stroller when she came out to watch my son for a few weeks. It basically was only used by her and babysitters until #2 came along.... but the whole point is just to really think about what you really need/want and not blindly signing up for a whole house full of STUFF that will not only clutter your life, but our earth too!Christine Gramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13783180729146518061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699989418747859369.post-151724431410073012009-10-09T08:20:56.199-07:002009-10-09T08:20:56.199-07:00I shared your post with my newly married daughter....I shared your post with my newly married daughter. She and I tease each other that we are ready for her to have a baby, but the timing doesn't seem quite ready. (When is it?)<br /><br />Anyway, I love love love this eco shower. Brilliant. I look at these monstrosities that people lug around, yikes!<br /><br />But I must say, it would be nice to have a carriage or stroller when I go shopping . . .Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699989418747859369.post-43181786372091331932009-10-08T17:02:39.869-07:002009-10-08T17:02:39.869-07:00Wow great comments!

He calls time before him "the olden days." So many people can't believe that things actually get easier without so much stuff.<br />Rosidah: Thank you. I love my walks in the woods.<br />Paz: Just catching up with you ;)<br />tk: You guys are my think green role models. You can actually feel the peace in your home. And I'm glad you're loving all the baby legos as much as we did.<br />Melanie D: I love a girl in blue! (and boys in pink for that matter). There is so much pressure on parents to get all that crap... people will swear to you how some contraption saved their sanity. At least you can pass on what you have to someone who thinks they might need it ;).<br />Ocean girl: thanks for the thoughts. I haven't written about living on our boat. Maybe as a future think green post, since I think everyone should live one year on a boat. It forces you to minimize, simplify, and brings environmental issues right to your doorstep.Christine Gramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13783180729146518061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699989418747859369.post-7138641548130952832009-10-08T15:33:22.289-07:002009-10-08T15:33:22.289-07:00Simply beautiful.

We built a HUGE tower with the Legos last night that you gave us. Reduce-reuse-recycle. Looking around the room at all his "stuff", I'd estimate 80%+ is second- and third-hand.

Back in the stone age, we did have a crib and high chair, and a carriage that I used to pile the first 3 into (3 in 3 years) and walk a couple of miles. But other than that, it was pretty basic. And the crib was one my husband and his twin brother had been raised in.
