Local Love: Basic Baby (Shop) **GIVEAWAY**

I have decided to dedicate a portion of my blog to local shops, artisans, and events. I have just recently realized the importance of the practice of buying local. Besides keeping money in the community, you know that the things you are purchasing are made with care, and you get to know your neighbors! I would like to pass some of my 'local love' on to you! I will be covering the central New York region.
Check out this Time Magazine article to learn the benefits of buying local.
The first shop that I want to show some love to is my local cloth diaper shop - Basic Baby.
I'm probably going to gush a little because I can't say enough good things about this store and the people that own it.

Location: Shoppingtown Mall - Syracuse, NY
Products offered: Cloth diapers, natural parenting items, items for nursing mothers, baby carriers, natural toys, diaper detergent, and more!
Website: http://www.basicbabyshop.com/
Basic Baby is owned by a fabulous couple, Josh and Colleen, and their adorable little girl (who can be seen running around the shop at times. If you are lucky, you might just meet her!). When I first met them around eight months ago, I knew this would be my cloth diapering home! I browsed their shop, bought a couple of things, asked questions, and was sent home with a few samples of things to try. I was amazed at the amount of information these people had. You can tell they are passionate about what they do!
Since then I have asked them so many questions, and let me tell you if they don't have the answer, they will find it!
They are always willing to help in any way they can. When I needed cloth diaper detergent, they were willing to go a few miles out of their travel plans to meet me so I could have it. I have been told "we go out your way quite a but, just let us know if you need anything and we would be happy to bring it to you.". What kindness!
