Welcome To Seb & I
​
​
Hi there, I'm Rebecca- the 'I' behind Seb & I.
​
I'm a mum of 3 gorgeous boys; Oliver, Noah & Seb. All who have a blood clotting condition called Haemophilia, which can make some days a little more interesting. We live in West Yorkshire with our crazy sausage dog & I have a lovely husband too!.​
There is quite an age gap between Oliver & Seb. I most certainly aged over those years, but my perspectives, ideals & behaviours altered. I am much more eco conscious & as a family we are really trying to make positive changes & to reduce our impact on the planet. However, I confess that we are far from perfect.
​
We are also more conscious of what we buy & use. Considering whether something is actually needed before making that purchase & I love shopping small! I really feel like the smallest of changes can make a big difference & I am committed to making this difference. I have a major issue with plastic & attempt to avoid it as much as possible. I read that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish! What a truly sad thought!
My 'real job' couldn't be anymore different to this little business, but over years I always wanted to have something that I could call my own, but had never really settled with the right idea. That all changed during my final pregnancy with Seb. I remember being really frustrated whilst looking for pregnancy/ new baby essentials for Seb & myself. Everything I wanted came from a different retailer & my bugbear of paying high postage costs grew even more. My disdain for plastic was at an all time high & I found myself searching high & low for eco-friendly alternatives.
​
This is when I also descovered cloth nappies & reusable wipes. A little bit of googling made me aware of the issues surrounding disposable nappies & quite honestly I was gobsmacked. Did you know it takes over 300 years for a nappy to decompose? To be honest I don't think cloth even entered my head with Oliver or Noah. However, I loved our cloth nappy journey & this secured my ethos for this little venture.
So during the second national lock down in 2020, in between homeschooling, a new baby & everything else Covid threw at us, Seb & I was born.
I want to take the pressure off new mum's/ mum's-to-be & gifters searching for organic, eco-friendly & ethically sourced items & provide you with beautiful sustainable high quality products & gifts in just a couple of clicks.
I also genuinely want to open people's eyes to options that are so much friendlier for our families & our gorgeous planet.
​
Basically, I'm a mum of 3 (totally winging it) on a mission to spread awareness about all things eco & the reasons behind making positive changes.
​
Much love,
​
Seb & I
