Dinker & Giggles believes that the years just after toddler and right before “I know everything” are the most important years of a young child’s life. Dinker & Giggles teaches tips and provides solid resources for parents of children of all ages. Now, you can take advantage of the most impressionable years of your child’s life and teach them how to be a gentleman…or lady!
Our Story
Dinker & Giggles officially launched in February of 2005 as a retail boutique full of unique natural products for mom, dad, baby, home and even puppies! As of April 2012, we are returning to a boutique offering high quality bamboo products for your little ones. Over time, the Dinker & Giggles philosophy has developed into a resource for all parents, especially those of boys. With the launch of our active website community, Dinker & Giggles provides helpful information from parenting experts to thousands of parents and grandparents everyday.
The Dinker & Giggles core values are to provide great resources to help you:
- Bring natural parenting styles into your child’s life.
- Support a healthy lifestyle – in mind, body and spirit.
- Find teachable moments in every day to create lifelong values.
- Take simple, green living one step at a time with your family.
- Create a faith-centered home in which to raise your son.
- Merge family and a home based career with success.
While we don’t guarantee that you won’t find a frog or two hidden in your son’s bedroom, we do hope that a few years from now your boy is thanking you for being a great Mom, Dad or Grandparent!
Our Founder and Chief Giggle
Owner and creator of Dinker & Giggles, Alaina Frederick, is a mother to three [almost four] active boys who enjoys learning new parenting and natural living techniques.
Born and raised in rural Northwestern Pennsylvania, Alaina has a love for the slow-paced, natural world and a return to simplicity. As a recent transplant to Pittsburgh, however, Alaina has expanded her horizons with a new found love for the city and all that the urban world has to offer. She combines these backgrounds in a unique way to help other parents return to sound parenting techniques and a lifestyle that adapts well to today’s family.
“Life becomes a roller coaster the moment you see those two lines on the stick and you realize you are going to be a parent…right? It did for me! Little things that I never even gave a moment of my time now were suddenly the focus of my day. Is the house the right temperature? Am I holding the baby right? Did I nurse on the left or the right side last time? Every day is full of surprises and challenges as a parent!
As we transition from Moby Wraps, bumGenius, and Hooter Hiders to Tonka trucks, Lego’s, and the coolest superhero of the moment in our home, I’m finding joy in every new adventure.”
Thanks for joining me for the ride!With a Giggle,
Alaina Frederick
