I am all kinds of excited to introduce you all to Kari Alford of
Alford Designs. Her new
shop on etsy caught my eye as I was looking for snack bags to replace using disposable plastic baggies. We have a few of the standard cotton ones on board but they get kind of funky with fruit inside. Kari's wet bags are lined making them fabulous for all kinds of things from fruit to PB & J.
The larger ones are handy for cloth diapering, wet swim suits, or soiled baby clothes. And I use mine for things like sunscreen and lotions that more often than not explode in my purse. The baggies keep these items neatly contained and if they open the liner keeps the mess away from the rest of my bag. They're green and clean, brilliant!
I asked Kari why she decided to start making these wet bags:
I used to use hard plastic containers, but would get frustrated when I needed to pack several items in a lunch container. I saw a small wet bag at a store once and my first thought was, 'I can make that!' I've found so many uses for them and I'm still creating different sizes that work for different things.
I hope that it gets people thinking that they can live their lives a little greener. My personal goal is to live a greener life, and if I can help people accomplish that by providing the tools, then that's a great feeling.
She also makes these cup cords which I am finding extremely useful at this particular stage in Naia's life. Just in case she
throws accidentally knocks over a toy or sippy cup from the table this handy leash keeps it from hitting the floor and making a mess or turning it into a game of mama fetch.
(looks more like a game of baby keep away here, i think a certain big brother rigged this up)
Kari is generously offering this wet bag and cup cord set pictured below to one lucky person.
