People often ask me what made me open a baby store? I worked at one part time in between kids and loved it! When it was time to think about getting a job again after my youngest was a year old I thought I would open my own store but do it differently. There wasn't anything at the time that provided modern furniture, bedding, art , decor etc.....Really what I love about doing this is being able to ...share experiences with expectant parents and give my advice on what works and what doesn't depending on your particular lifestyle. I carry products that I believe are he best, I don't carry a million different products of the same kind...I try to keep it simple and offer the products that work.
Some people think that MODERN means EXPENSIVE! This is so far from the truth as I carry Cribs that range from $495 up to and above $4500. All the little stuff in between is very comparable to what is on the mass market.
I give dynamite customer service, I genuinely care about my customers and I am honest to a fault. I'm not going to make millions or even thousands for that matter owning my own business but the fulfillment I get everytime a customer walks in and I am able to help them with something they may not have already known is worth every minute I spend here.
Do I miss my own kids.....YES..... but i also want to show them that life isn't easy and it takes hard work and dedication to make it in this world!

I would like to take a minute to Thank each and every single customer that has passed through the doors here at Stork in the last year! I have had the pleasure of serving you the best way that I can. My customers mean the world to me and I have enjoyed such great conversations along the way. It has touched my heart so deeply to have been able to experience the excitement of expecting a new baby with parents and grandparents alike and then to actually meet the precious offspring!!!!!! What a total thrill. I look so forward so the year ahead and making this experience even better as the year goes by.

I have been so blessed to be able to do what I do with 2 small children of my Own. I have the most amazing in-laws on the planet. They live for us and our children and take care of them everyday so my husband and I can work hard to provide a good life for them. Words cannot come close to expressing my extreme gratitude for them.

All of the support and help we have gotten from our family and friends has been truly humbling. I love you all. I thank my brother John for all of his wisdom, support and help. You are an inspiration to me and I can only hope that one day I will be able to show you how thankful I am to you for everything you have done for me.

So cheers to the year ahead! Let's make it even better then the last!
Thank you so much everyone.

Natural Soy Crayon Rocks

provide vibrant colours and beautiful textures. These 'crayons' are made from renewable soybeans and coloured with natural mineral powders. They're designed to strengthen the tripod muscles,preparing fingers and hands for writing skills. And they're specially shaped to allow small fingers to colour in large, wide strokes, promoting confidence in creating children's art. What's more, the bag they come in is special. Made of environmentally friendly, nice-smelling burlap, it has a weave which lets light through. So when small hands dive in beneath the wide flap, the pleasing array of colours is easily seen. And the more the crayons are used, the more - jewel-like - they shine. No wonder the young artists enjoy using them!

The Birth

As my wife and I awaited the birth of our first child, I noticed that there was a lack of one of a kind, responsibly made, and beautifully designed products for children. I decided to create a unique collection of products that would be intricately crafted and environmentally responsible.

Responsibility

The Cate & Levi Collection is H A N DMA D E at my studio in Toronto, Canada. Together with my talented production team, I oversee every aspect of this collection. All the materials are sourced as close to home as possible. This process cuts down on shipping and reduces our carbon footprint. The choice of reclaimed wool reduces demand for new materials that require both water and oil for production. My goal is for these items to leave the softest possible pawprint on our planet.

One Of A Kind

No two Cate & Levi products will ever be the same. Each one is made from reclaimed wool whose colors and textures are individually selected. Not only is this process environmentally responsible, but it ensures that each animal is truly a one of a kind creation never to be duplicated. Each item is as unique as the child who adopts it.

Giving Back

It is important for me to set a good example for my child, to work in a highly creative and responsible fashion, and to produce long lasting items that can be today's plaything and tomorrow's keepsake. I am building a company my family can be proud of. Ten percent of my profits will be donated to funds that help children in need.

The Tumbling animals is based on simple geometrically forms - cut in the shape of animals.. The Tumbling animals are suitable as children´s furniture, but are designed for creative play.

The child is able to tumble, roll, balance, seesaw, rock, jump and gain some bodily experience, which can serve as the foundation for further development.

The Tumbling animals are produced in a firm foam with a soft surface, very easy to clean under the shower.

The Tumbling animals are tested especially for children and is free of any toxin or phthalates.

All of the same great features of the original Wishbone bike -- now adorned with an original design by Shane Hansen. Hansen's original design features contemporary Maori-inspired artwork. It tells a story of flowing rivers and high mountains, of people who share this natural environment, and of their connection to one another. Wishbone's second limited-edition bike symbolizes new life and relationships, calling on families globally to celebrate diversity, build community, and work together for a brighter future.
Recommended age range - 1 to 5 years. (Any Wishbone Bike rider must be capable of walking. Even if the rider is older than 1 year of age, if the rider cannot walk then he or she should not use this product.)
Unlike any other running bike, the Wishbone bike evolves with a child’s different stages of development. It starts at age 1 as a trike, converts to a running bike as the child grows, and by four to five years old, the 'wishbone' frame is flipped, making the Wishbone Bike one of the largest running bikes on the market. With its environmentally sustainable design, and innovative 3-bikes-in-1 feature, the Wishbone bike designed in New Zealand really is the ultimate pre-bike.
Recommended age range - 1 to 5 years. (Any Wishbone Bike rider must be capable of walking. Even if the rider is older than 1 year of age, if the rider cannot walk then he or she should not use this product.)

The Stokke® Xplory® is the stroller that grows with you and your child. The adjustable seat means your baby can face you rather than away from you. This encourages eye contact and feelings of safety, security and unity: it’s the most comfortable position for a baby. Later the seat can be switched to face forwards so your growing child can begin to explore the world. Adjust the footrest downwards as your baby’s legs get longer and alter the seat depth with the padded seat insert to ensure your baby is always sitting comfortably. The Stokke® Xplory® has large rear wheels and sporty, easy-swivel front wheels, making it supersimple to steer, even around the tightest city corners. The lack of a crossbar between the wheels leaves plenty of space for stretching your legs while walking and for even more child-safety the Stokke® Xplory® comes with an adjustable five-point harness. And of course the Stokke® Xplory® meets all relevant international safety standards. Now just push, and go!

Baby is Safe and Happy.

Your baby is never happier than when cradled safely in your arms. That’s why the Puj Baby Bath Tub was designed to hold your baby in the same position. Being cradled helps them relax and enjoy the bath. That means...you can too!

Cradles and Protects.

Bathing a slippery baby in traditional baby bath tubs can be extremely challenging. You're forced to hold the baby with just one arm and use the other arm to bathe. Using the Puj baby bath tub for sink, your baby is supported in an upright position, allowing you to bathe using both hands--with no help from your spouse!

Comforts and Calms.

The super soft flexible material wraps around their delicate body, protecting their skin from any cold surface.

Safe.

Not only does the Puj Baby Bath protect your baby, but it also keeps them insulated and warm. It is even approved by the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses.

I’m simple, multifunctional and useful.
I’m here to lend a hand, when two just aren’t enough.
I am the SoftSpot by Wozzy.
And I’m no ordinary play mat.

I give your child a clean and safe place to lay, sit and play … everywhere you go. I am a cushy spot on hard flooring where babies can flex their tummy time muscles. I break the fall of an unsteady sitter. I encourage mobility as baby isn’t confined to a bouncy seat or swing. Now moms can get in that much needed shower, throw in some laundry, check email or find time to whip up a meal. Babies love me. Moms love me.

Your toddler will love me too. I give them a little spot they can call their own. I’m great for play and storytime. I moonlight as a tumble mat and nap mat. I’m the perfect place to relax and watch a show. And during the dreaded flu season, I’m a comfy (though easily cleanable) alternative to a couch or bed.

Did I mention I’m portable? I'm easy to fold and transport which makes me a great companion for parks, picnics, sibling sporting events and camping. I’m perfect for travel across the globe, or across town. I’m very lightweight. You can hang me off your stroller, throw me in your car, or check me on a plane.

I’m not just for kids. My large surface area makes me big enough for adults! Moms can use me for prenatal yoga, child-birthing classes and as an exercise mat to help shed those post-baby pounds. Though I can’t find you a babysitter, I am perfect for date night at an outdoor concert. Your pets will love me too.

I’m antibacterial, water-resistant, tear resistant and self-deodorizing. I’m durable. I’m a baby mat, toddler mat, play mat, tummy time mat, tumble mat, time-out mat, travel mat, outdoor mat, mommy mat and pet bed. I will stay with your family for many years. You will use me every day. See, I told you I was no ordinary play mat.

I can be used naked or dressed up with a CoziCover®, available in six trendy styles. CoziCovers provide an added sense of luxury, style and comfort. I wear them like a round fitted sheet. They fit nice and snug and won’t bunch up like blankets. Easy to pop on and off and throw in the wash - spit ups, blowouts and spills are cleaned up in a snap.

I like meeting new friends. Bring me home today.

Mimijumi Bottle

2010-10-21T10:50:00.000-04:00

Bottle can be sterilized with any traditional sterilizing method including boiling and microwave sterilizing devices.
Easy to open, easy to clean, easy to fill with a wide mouth opening, screw on one-piece nipple, and skid-free base.
With natural colors, textures and forms, the mimijumi baby bottle closely mimics the breastfeeding experience, providing the perfect complement to breastfeeding and the best possible transition to bottle feeding.
The innovative design of the nipple to replicate a mother's breast creates a natural feeding and latching experience for a happier and healthier bottle fed baby. Bold color and soft textures are combined to give the Very Hungry bottle a distinctive, eye-catching appearance.
Very Hungry will hold 240ml or 8fl oz and comes with a Flow Rate 1 (slow) nipple.

In a world where computers "know" the facts, it's the imagination, innovation, and creativity of the human mind that has value.
It is said that "Rocking" helps to develop a childs sense of balance and the brain to sort sensory impressions.
The value in any toy is not what the toy can do, but what the child can do with it.

Another busy morning! Seems like 10-12 is the morning rush time. I'm all frazzled today because we woke up late, kids took their time getting ready and then I had an emergency call from my eldests school saying there may have pink eye and I need to come pick my child up.
Thankfully, it's not pink eye......just something suck in there irritating it.
Hopefully the rest of the day goes a bit better and by the look of sales I'm off to a great start. I just love coming here everyday.
Is there anyone listening to me yet??????? Hellooooooooo!
