Today, we announce our first, mini-course, Better Sleep in Less Than a Week! Everyone deserves restful and restorative sleep — but for parents with infants or young children, that can feel like an impossible dream! As parents, we work so hard to help our kids sleep that we may overlook our own parental need for rest. In...
Big news: Oolie got GOTS! You read that correctly. GOTS is the Global Organic Textile Standard, the most stringent certification for organic textile products. We are very happy to announce that after many months of collaboration with multiple manufacturers, vendors, and agencies, Oolie has officially earned GOTS certification for our...
In The Shoosh Origin Story, we promised you an inside look at our collaborative process, working with Portland Garment Factory to design and produce the Shoosh, our dual-purpose door bumper and latch-silencer. After I’d gone through many different design iterations for the Shoosh, I needed help turning this invention into a...
Before having kids, I was definitely that person: the one judging sleep-deprived parents for bringing their children into their bed with them. I swore I would never co-sleep. When I became a mom, I wouldn’t care how tired I was. Babies belong in cribs! Co-sleeping is a sign of parental...
Hello, Friends of Oolie! 2022 has been a big year for us, filled with new learning, creativity, and the ups and downs of launching a company — highlights being the launch of the our first product, followed by our first sales. (Thanks, friends!) This year, we dipped a toe into...
Hi, friends! I want to share the story behind why I invented the Shoosh to reduce wake-ups and prevent little fingers from getting pinched. My kids have never been easy sleepers. As infants, both falling asleep and staying asleep were challenges for all three. Over time, I learned what what...
Here at Oolie, we are buzzing with excitement over the launch of our first product: the Shoosh! Over the last several months, we have perfected the product and process to ensure that the final Shoosh lives up to its promise of cultivating a more peaceful home, while also staying true...
Summer is finally upon us! As an LGBTQ+ ally, this is my favorite time of year: Pride Month! Pride Month is a time to celebrate love and honor those who have sacrificed, fighting for the rights of others. For me, Pride is about being vulnerable, reaching out, connecting, and celebrating the...
Hello, friends! It’s almost officially summer! In our family, that means starting to putter around in the garden. Our garden has four zones: a decorative front garden of mostly native perennials, a raspberry hedge, raised veggie beds, and our “fairy” garden, which is entirely run by our kids. (Yes,...
Is there anything more inspiring than gardening with your kids? Watching them dig, water, plant, harvest, and — of course — get very, very dirty. They’re explorers, creators, and nurturers all in one! Gardening engages their minds and bodies — all five senses are engaged in heightened awareness as...
Have you ever considered a floor bed for your young child? As an alternative to cribs and “big kid beds,” floor beds allow young children the freedom to climb into and out of bed on their own. A floor bed is essentially just a mattress that rests directly on the...
