From the big smoke in Sydney to ...
the Apple Valley in Tassie!
Let me introduce myself... I'm Beck, the excited new owner of Bumpy Buns Cloth Nappies.
It's only been a few months since I bought the business off Sharon, whom many of you know and love, but it feels like a lot longer than that! But where did it all start for me?
Well I guess I've always been a bit of a "greenie" at heart. I love our big world - gardens, bush and beaches - and when I'm out there admiring the beauty, I think about how important it is to keep it clean, pure and beautiful for our little ones as they grow up. I love going back to basics, making things from scratch and finding simpler and cheaper ways of doing things. So when I was pregnant with our first daughter, and browsing the endless things to buy in the baby shops, I came across Eenee and Cushie Tushies cloth nappies and quickly realised it would be kinder on the environment and easier on our pockets so I started to look into it more.
Well, I'm sure you know where that leads... Confusion! There are so many styles, brands, materials, systems, abbreviations... so after about 3 months with my head stuck in Google, I felt like I'd finally got the basics down and had worked out what to do: I was going to buy a few different brands second hand to try out and then I'd decide which ones suited us best.
So back off to Google and onto Used Nappies and the MCN Facebook pages, and 30 nappies later... as you know it's a bit addictive!
Then once our little one came along, I went to work testing out all the nappies I'd bought, and was soon in the depths of wee, poop, and pockets of PUL. As the months went on, my love of MCN kept growing, and I was looking once again through Used Nappies when I spotted the Business For Sale section and Sharon's ad. My first response was "Cool... but I couldn't do that." But when I mentioned it to my hubby, he said I should look into it.
And here we are... 6 months, a couple of flights to Sydney and a car trip with a boot (and every other free space) absolutely packed full of nappies later, Bumpy Buns moved to Tassie :)
