The Good Planet Company

I stopped by this new location of Fort St. earlier this week. I didn't know what to expect, but it was raining out and just getting inside an area with no rain was wonderful. Especially with a puddle jumping toddler and wiggly baby on my back. We walked in and I swear the air smelled clean. There's no other way to describe it. It actually felt like there was no fumes or crap in the air. hmmm.
My daughter walked off to the corner where they had wooden toys set up for kids to play with - I hope, anyways. She got fairly engrossed with the cooking set and car set, so I wandered around a bit. I kept her in sight, but there was a baby section AND a cooking section right near the back where I could not see my little one anymore. Thankfully, the woman working that day offered to keep an eye on my daughter while I browsed, so I smiled gratefully and wandered into green heaven. I could hear my daughter getting the woman to play cooking with her and her laughter could be heard every 10 seconds or so, much to my motherly ears pleasure.
They had everything in this store, I swear. Cooking stuff, baby stuff, kid stuff, cleaning, bath and beauty options, linens, beds. And it was all supposed to be good for the planet, or at least not as horrible as some of the other stuff out there.
I ended up buying a bottle of bubble bath for the kids and a wooden beaded maze toy for my son. $50 in an instant. The bubble bath is good, but someone got there's hands on it (who knew she could reach that high?!?) and used it to bath her doll's hair. So, we have less than half a bottle left now. My son likes the beaded toy BUT it's made in china and his finger got caught in it yesterday. I think I'll take it back.
