Modern Cloth Nappies & Sustainable Baby Products for Your Eco-Parenting Journey

The drive: What challenges have you overcome?

It has been a huge learning curve since taking over the business as we had never run a small business before! While it was great to have the business already up and running, it meant that we had to learn everything very quickly to keep up with the stage that the business was already at, rather than a slow and steady learning curve if we were to have started from scratch. While it has been challenging, it has been very enjoyable to learn new skills and discover what it means to be a small business owner.

For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?

Overall, I absolutely love it, as it is flexible and incredibly variable with day-to-day tasks. As I am the person doing absolutely every task, it means I need to be competent at everything which always keeps me on my toes! I love being responsible for my own success, how I choose to run the business, and the values I prioritise for the business. On the other hand, having a small business can have its stressful moments as business ebbs and flows. Everything is done while still being responsible for my family and prioritising their needs which don’t always align with the business’s needs.

Hopes and dreams: What next?

We would love to expand to include a wider range of sustainable products and grow the business. Our goal is for sustainable products to become the norm and we would love to contribute to making this happen.
