We often try the products before they are offered on Abe’s or soon after. Because Green-Lullaby’s Multibox has been in such demand we only received one a few days ago. This coincided with our goal of starting to feature videos of products. Jon and I shot two videos, one with his kids and one with mine. Objectively, my kids love the Multibox and had a whole lot of fun putting it together. There has been a lot of opening the lids to put new toys in and Uri was trying to sit inside one of them early this morning.

Here is our first of hopefully many videos of us interacting with fun, useful and natural goods that can be found on Abe’s Market…

We had a hunch it would find favor in your eyes but after appearing in Parents magazine Green-Lullaby’s Multibox has been selling like hot cakes (organic whole wheat hot cakes of course). Green-Lullaby has had the product on back-order as they replenish inventory and we have been trying hard to make buyers aware that their order will be delayed by up to a week or so.

It has been a pleasure dealing with the list of people who we have reached out to help explain the delay. It strengthens my belief that as long as people are informed they are willing to wait longer than they expected without holding a grudge. A genuine thank you to all of you who have been more than understanding about the delay.

The youngest of my three kids (that’s them, on the right) is almost 4.  Thankfully, she’s been potty trained for a while now.  Last night, though, my wife said to me, “I spent a lot of time on Abe’s Market and have a new favorite product – the Bottoms Up Reusable Baby Wipes Kit.  Absolutely brilliant.  Better for babies, better for the environment, and cheaper than regular wipes.  Since we have no more kids in diapers, I’ll have to buy some for a friend with a baby.”

Her comment struck me for a two reasons.  First, it’s true – the Bottoms Up Wipes are a really cool product.  Second, this product is one of many that counters the belief that great natural products must cost more than their traditional (i.e. non natural) counterparts.  In her product description, Lesley writes that “Even if you were to use just one pack of disposable baby wipes per week at $4.49 per pack, you would spend over $450 within the first two years! The Bottoms Up Baby All-In-One Kit costs $59.95, that’s a savings of almost $400!”  So, it’s not only NOT more expensive than disposable wipes – it’s significantly cheaper!  While some products in the natural/green world may stir some debate, this product is a no-brainer.  (Hhhhmmm, should we have another kid so we can use the Bottoms Up Wipes?)
