ethics, sustainability and supporting small business. I am super honored to have been able to collaborate with a few businesses that create pieces my daughter will be able to pass on to her children one day.

These are some of the values we hope to instill in our daughter and another reason we felt so strongly about world schooling her in which I will write about in another post if anyone is interested in our conclusions.
