Baby Gecko is the East Kimberley's Small Business of the Year!

The East Kimberley Small Business Awards were held on Friday night 27 May in Kununurra and Baby Gecko won the home based business category and was then named OVERALL East Kimberley Small Business of the Year!  Here is what the judges had to say.....

 “We are inspired by the depth, innovation and creativity local people showed in the nominations to the Home Based Business award. You know your community is in good hands when people have the confidence, and the strength to follow their dreams. This year’s winner of the Home Based Business Award demonstrated a remarkable sense of clarity in the way they approach their business. They know their market and product well.  They network well and have a clear growth strategy.  They definitely have the “X” factor when it comes to their business approach.”

I am very excited about this recognition in only my first full year of operation and I am looking forward to expanding the business further in the next 12 months.  I will now compete for the Kimberley Business Awards in September and then, if successful there, will go on to the state wide awards in Perth in November. 

Thank you to all my suppliers, customers and family and friends for all your support.  Special thanks to my husband Troy (pictured with me below) and our beautiful girls Bronte and Madeline.

About

I am an Environmental Officer but currently a stay at home mum with two beautiful daughters. When I was pregnant with my first daughter, I was determined to use the old terry towelling squares as I did not want to use disposables but my close friend introduced me to Modern Cloth Nappies (MCN's). I was so excited that I could use an environmentally sustainable and cost effective option that fitted nicely like a disposable.

I was so confused with all the terms on MCN websites (eg. working out the difference between pocket nappies, fitted's, All in ones, trifold flats etc) that I ordered one of a number of different styles just to see what they looked like. I have never looked back. Both of my girls have now been in cloth since birth and I tell everyone about them. I truly believe in the product and I want every other parent to experience the world of MCN's

As most MCN's are only available on the internet, I wanted to be able to show the people of the East Kimberley a range of MCN's and help them to make an informed choice about what to buy before buying one of every kind like I did. I get so much joy out of talking to people about the benefits of cloth nappies and showing them the fantastic range of colours and designs available.

This is a really big passion for me so I really hope you get something out of my website and the products I have available.

I will keep updating this blog with new products and information about my business. I hope you enjoy it!
