Our friends at Ecobooma--who also own Studio Root 66 --make delectable, homegrown organic jellies, preserves, and apple butter.

Yummy Spoonfuls
Yummy Spoonfuls Baby Food is 100 % USDA Certified Organic, made from naturally good ingredients grown without chemical pesticides, nitrates, growth hormones or other unwanted extras and produced without artificial additives or processing chemicals. Owner Agatha was recently profiled on CNN.(Yummy Spoonfuls is Atlanta-based--my babies LOVED their appetizing food at the Beehive Co-Op tasting.)
Photographer Jill Buckner of Atlanta is known for her strikingly original, heirloom-special photos of babies and families. We've not seen such artistic value and a comfortable, laid-back experience (as laid back as you can get with 18-month-old twins, anyway), at such an amazing price, anywhere! But Jill is also very talented at commercial photography, even business profile pics. A business friend remarked of a recent session, "She made us feel like models!"
Family Music
Kitty Wolf
"Family Rock" at its finest, kitschy Kitty Wolf is clever and catchy! Their new CD Pancakes! is full of fun.
Maria Sangiolo
Maria Sangiolo's clear folk-inspired music for perfect nursery, office and car listening for all. Our favorite is Fairy Moon--Songs of the Ring.
