Hi! I just found out about this group over on BBC like a lot of the pps.
I am Cosmo. I am 27. DH is 28. Our DD Sakura was born 6 weeks early on June 3. We live in LA, CA. DH and I have been together for 12 years and married for 5. I was a Fashion Designer for a large brand, but now I am a SAHM who freelances occasionally. DH is a Student and a Server at a Vegan restaraunt. He graduates this June. I hope to start a green clothing line within the next 2 years.
Natural Parent-y stuff - We are vegan, we try to do organic and or local, we co-sleep, we wear our baby, I EBF'd to 6 months now she gets a bit of organic, homemade, sweet potatoes (we did donor breastmilk while dd was in the NICU instead of formula.) I hope she doesn't wean too soon. We do cloth diapers. We try not to let DD cry for more than a few seconds (the NICU nurses put a fear of burning unnecessary calories into us.)
I found my natural path in design school. I took a textiles class and had to do a project about a fiber and I chose hemp. I decided that it was the most amazing fiber ever and why didn't everyone use it and love it. that led me to research more eco-fibers like bamboo, and soy, which led to me finding more green information like treehugger.com. Then that lead me to be able to see why veganism is such a good idea. Then all that knowlege spread to my DH who is now not only vegan too, but wants to design green cars. Together we hope will have the world looking fabulous and green.
