Two local stay-at-home moms, Stephanie Pirrone and Amanda Emch, are now in the business of selling natural parenting items, and they're about to reveal to the world just how serious they are about being eco-friendly.
Cloth diapers are just part of the inventory of Sweet Cheeks parenting store in the Promenade Shops off Monroe Street in Sylvania. Regular diapers alone can add up to several thousand dollars from birth to potty training age. However, the cloth kind typically will run you only several hundred dollars, a major savings. But there are even more benefits to wearing them, including helping the environment since there are less chemicals involved.
Store owner Stephanie Pirrone says the need is great for as many green, organic, and reusable products within reach as possible. Before now, she says, the closest place of its kind was in Ann Arbor.
There are other green items made with mom and mother earth in mind, like environmentally friendly insect repellant and even the perfect paint to go on little kids' toes.
The store officially opens May 3rd, but this Saturday to help celebrate Earth Day, it'll be hosting the Great Cloth Diaper Change. It's part of a worldwide event designed to promote this type of diaper usage. There's even a chance to set a Guinness World Record.
