Sprig Eco-Trucks are loads of fun. Can you dig it?

Digging, loading and dumping. That’s a tried-and-true formula for dirt pile and sandbox fun that we simply won’t mess with. Sprig Eco-Trucks are fully equipped with flip-open cabs and easy-grab handles, making each freewheeling vehicle inviting and a cinch to maneuver.

The scooping action and rotating chassis of the Excavator turns serious digging into child’s play. The Loader does the trio’s heavy lifting, and the Dump Truck gets the job done with its tilting cab, locking bed and swing-out tailgate.

The playful, cartoon-like designs of our chunky vehicles make them irresistible to preschoolers, and parents love the eco-friendly, battery-free, kid-powered construction. Recommended for ages 3 and up.

Rex Jungle is ready to roll! Join this fearless guide on a fantastic dinosaur fueled adventure. This eco-friendly playset features

Kids are building, growing and powering their imaginations with Sprig’s eco-friendly toys. Smell the woodshop scent. Take ‘em for an adventure to places around the world and say bye-bye boring couch. Hello active fun!

Hanna and I finally reopened after a long family break...we had a great Christmas, raising four hundred dollars and matching another 400 to give the kids in Ucluelet a better holiday....
we reopened January 12th...a slow month, but glad to see some familiar faces still brave the cold to come visit us at the store...
2009 is an exciting year for us...In April we will celebrate ukee baby's first birthday...
look for a big celebration this day....
we will be receiving our spring and summer stock soon, so look for edgier outfits, our own new designs...and bigger sizes for boys and girls!!!
We have also found some soothers which we feel meet our safety standards, so look for those...our online store sadly wasn't working out for us...so we are going to create an ebay store soon which we feel will lead us to more customers...and be easy for any of our friends and family to shop on....
Right now all of our gap, old navy and gymboree clothes are $5 bucks each!
We still have adorable baby pj's for $5 bucks as well...and really great cotton socks in ALL sizes for $1.50!
Also all of our fall/winter wear is 50% off....including jeans, and cargo pants for boys and some beautiful tops and bottoms for girls..lots of sizes still left!

Every Child Deserves a Safe Toy

Ukee Baby Boutique is offering you a chance to give a safe toy to kids in need.

We have set up a donation button to the left of the screen. Click it and you can fill in any amount you wish. All of the money given will be
used to give local children in need, some of whom will be spending Christmas at the local shelter, a special toy.

Hanna and Angila will post the amount given each week before Christmas. You can donate up until December 23rd. At this time we will take the toys to the Kids and tell them how much you all cared to give them a safe, lasting toy they can have as their very own. We hope you will make this a very merry christmas for some really special kids....

Challenged

2008-07-23T08:28:00.000-07:00

I have never been so challenged in my life...wait..in my working life..I have kids, I am challenged everyday... Building an online store is not for the weak, the frustrated, the normal human being. I fit into all the previous categories (i think)...I the past two weeks I have built and dismantled 3 full on stores..only to get to the final step and they only allow US currency shopping..not for us!..or you can only add one thing to the cart..sooo not good for business...and the one before the last had no technical support phone number...NONE! how do you call and ask "how the hell do I do this or that???" ..so i have a lot of charges and refunds on my credit card...but I didn't give up (advice to all. give up.hire someone....) and we have a sort of store online..but it is not full of all our wonderful stuff yet...it works if you are so inclined to shop!..but you will not get the total variety of things yet...I will be adding stuff everyday until we have shown you all we can!!!! We are soooo excited! so stay tuned as they say...

Ukee Baby Goes Virtual

2008-07-18T21:39:00.000-07:00

So, exciting news everyone! I hopped online last night to check out the state of our website and found somebody had been setting up online shopping! Ange has been battling with Yahoo, Paypal, Google and all of the above, hell bent to get us selling online. Its still in its infancy stages, and I am sure Ange is asking herself why she signed up for this, but its real- Ukee Baby will be able to sell online soon:) Or maybe a little later. . . stay tuned for more updates- and Ange's version from the trenches of cyber space.

2008-06-20T21:26:00.000-07:00

I was across the street chatting with the other store owners..when this totally awesome car parked right out front of the store..I couldn't believe my luck, that I had actually brought the camera to work...so I ran over and introduced myself as the owner of the store they were parked in front of and could I snap a shot of their car...they agreed...

Wow

2008-05-24T19:44:00.000-07:00

Thanks for the last post Hanna. You and me are gonna change this town...

It's great to be partners

2008-05-21T21:06:00.000-07:00

Angila and I found out recently how valuable having a business partner really is. We both had small family emergencies that kept us away from our duties at the store. But no worries, we were able to cover for each other and not miss an open day. The store stayed open and we were able to each focus on our families:) Partnership is good!
On another note, summer it seems is just around the corner and things are picking up at Ukee Baby. . . we are getting ready for a fun filled summer with the locals and visitors perusing our baby wears. It's also reassuring to know that Angila and I won't be missing much of the nice Ukee summer weather (which if you live here you will know is in very short supply), when you have a business partner you only have to work 1/2 of the week! I think I am never going to find an end to the reasons for celebrating this partnership:)

Glass Bottles are Here!

2008-05-04T14:02:00.001-07:00

Nurture Pure 40z. and 8oz. Glass Bottles have arrived. They are available in 3 pack cases.

Its been a month!

2008-05-01T14:56:00.000-07:00

Well its May, and Angila and I have made it through our first month of Ukee-Baby-Mania! Its been a very steep learning curve, and I am sure there is a lot more learning to come in the next year- right now we are trying to figure out our inventory tracking and accounting systems. . . But so far so good- with the odd glitch. Our play-date business meetings continue, although now they are conducted over dinners and Curious George instead of our original daytime tea (evenings are the only time one of us is not at the store). Ucluelet has been amazing and welcoming and I am so proud and glad to call this great West Coast Hideaway my home- even though it seems to consistently rain on my days off. Ange and I still both pinch ourselves when we walk into our store in the mornings, no its not a dream, yes we own a store! Thanks for following along with us on this crazy adventure from stay-at-home-mamas to baby-boutique-owners!

CHEERS UKEE BABY

2008-04-20T09:26:00.000-07:00

Though we will never end celebrating our store, we can finally say the grand opening, first day jitters are over...we have opened twice now, and both times were a huge success...with the odd glitch...I locked my keys in the store the night before the grand opening..which I was opening...so a trip (seems like a trip) from my house to hanna's in the morning somehow threw me for a loop...when I arrived to open, one of my helium balloons popped and scared a lady on the street and we both screamed..so I brought the balloons in...then of course my first customer (thankfully a friend, who also made the cake..) discovered a pricing glitch on swimsuits, and then the debit machine didn't work, because I accidently unplugged it....and this is only ten minutes into opening..I had called hanna three times by now...and then the ticker tape ran out..and so did my staples..I called hanna again...but told her not to come in until her scheduled time (a few hours later)...thankfully she reads minds and arrived in 20 minutes to rescue the store...and me...I think I just needed more coffee at this point....we were slammed all day...and thankfully had time for a staff meeting at 7pm including some celebration sushi and the rest of the cake...mmmmmm....

Sorry no new picture to go with the story...We have completed the first week! yahoo!...We managed to get more press (picture to come)..and we have been very busy. Hanna and I have only lost power twice...but at least we have a float....We have been welcomed by the community with very high praise and compliments...many people have asked where were we two or three years ago!...and they all think the store is pretty (which really feels good considering the reno's)...now we are gearing up for the grand opening this Saturday (19th) with giveaways and other wonderful suprises..so hopefully I will get some new pictures then...I have also updated the website...

Opening Day Preparations

2008-04-07T13:15:00.000-07:00

DAY ONE

2008-04-05T21:44:00.000-07:00

So I arrived at the store at 9:10am and Hanna was already inside vacuuming....so I lured her outside for a photo (coming soon)... and we were off...we were greeted by our first customers from Tofino..(who made the 1/2 hour drive!) and landed a crisp one dollar bill to frame(curtousy of my hubby who gave my friend from Tofino the bill to buy with)...thanks Krys and Jon... Hanna and I were doing well until our next customer handed us a 50 dollar bill...and simultaneously we both realized that we had no float...no money in the cash register, and not even a thought that we would need cash up until that point....cash in the till...so we had an emergency staff meeting under the counter (literally) and went through our wallets so as to appear prepared once we stood back up..luckily we made it...we then calmly gave change and called Jon to go to the bank asap....but spent the rest of the day in amazement that we forgot this major detail...but the store looked pretty!!! so that saved us...So many of our friends came down to support us ~with their kids who loved the play area..though one little one got stuck in the toy basket...she was eventually rescued after her mommy and me took pictures of her predicament...we also served up some yummy tea and enjoyed all of the mommy conversation that was buzzing about the store all day.....So thanks to all our dear friends, the local mommies, our children who miss us, our partners who love us, our parents who raised us and of course to Hanna I say thanks sister for walking through this crazy renovationed journey to boutiqueville....you rock!

It's Official!

2008-04-04T20:01:00.000-07:00

Hanna and I got the signage today and actually had to turn a few customers away since we aren't open until 10:30 am saturday.....tomorrow...we are going in tonight to finalize everything and dust....we can't stay away.....more details tomorrow on how things go!!! thanks to all who made our dream possible!!!!

This is the mural on the inside of the kids area...though you can't tell from the pictures..it is covered in glitter....Neveah saw it yesterday and said she liked it..so it is kid approved!

2008-03-20T22:41:00.000-07:00

So the local paper ~The Westerly~ came out today and Angila and I both (in different households) did a little dance when we saw the full back page color spread about Ukee Baby! Very exciting for both of us. After a quick oogle of the article it was back to renos for the two of us. Our bathroom has gone from green (or more like sick pistachio) to white and now back to green (but a much nicer green). There are shelves on the walls (although the walls have a few more drill holes than were necessary- I was learning the value of a stud finder) and last thing to do now are the coat racks- well and then clean, stock the shelves, catalogue inventory, program the cash register. . . so there are a few more things to do.

Hanna and I are thrilled at the amount of progress we have made...this past weekend my brother came all the way from Maple Ridge to help with reno's...he ripped out the toilet..tiled the bathroom, installed a new door...linoleumed the kids area...built a fence...and left lots of goodies for us to use..all in a days work..thanks Johnny!....
Hanna and I keep crossing things off our list (which is written on a slab of drywall...)..we are sick of renovations..and want to get the fun stuff happening..like unloading the boxes from storage...we are getting closer everyday...
we actually have a phone number that works 726-GAGA (Hanna's brilliance, and determination)
so keep checking the blog for updates..and soon so help me our website will actually work..in 72 hours...if I can just figure out how to host it...

It All Began

2008-02-14T16:27:00.000-08:00

On a warm summer day in August...Hanna was visiting Angila...and they started to chat...as mommies do, the conversation was dominated by kids,parenting,toys and what we like and don't like...We both didn't like all the recent toy recalls...and the fact that we had many of the toys recalled. We both liked the fact that some companies were making organic, or safe toys for kids...but we didn't like that we had to travel so far to find them..or pay for shipping to have them sent to our remote village...so we casually decided to open a store in Ucluelet....Six months, one business plan, three patient children,two understanding husbands later...Ukee Baby is about to be born!....As of tomorrow (February 15th) we receive the keys to our brick and mortar store..and the renovations will begin!!!
