It may surprise you that we don’t actually consider ourselves minimalists. We’d rather call ourselves “deliberatists.” Our goal is to be less weighed down, less distracted, more present. 

We believe that less is more when minimized deliberately. Where “less” includes only what you love and what you need--what brings value and serves a purpose. 

We believe that when you have the right “stuff” you can enjoy where you are and who you’re with, having the confidence and peace of mind that you’ve got all you need right by your side.

But we also know that parents are busy, and curating a deliberate life can take time and energy that most of us don’t have.

So, today we’re launching a series “Keep it By You: Tips & Tricks for Deliberate Minimalism.”

Just as Kibou is intentionally designed with functionality and style, this series will provide you with ways to simplify and streamline. 

From Traveling with your Little Ones to Nursery Room Essentials, each article that we share will help you design your life like a Kibou:

• Confidently
• Functionally
• Minimally 
• In style

Let us curate what you need, so you can simply be free to enjoy your little ones.
