Because we planned to adopt I had been researching eco-friendly, vegan nursery items but had yet to purchase a thing. There are so many decisions to be made and we're excited to raise our little girl with intention. The message Sky gets at Babies-R-Us is largely that animals are her friends. At least at this stage.
