I get very excited when I find out new information, and even more excited when it's good. Now that I'm learning about an entire section of life that had previously been off limits (that of being a mother) I can hardly contain myself with all that I'm uncovering. It's so exciting! I'm like a kid in a type-A candy store - how can I best organize all this information AND make it pretty? So that is my intention with my blog, to organize information so that other mamas can get the exciting "goods" with me - and enjoy it!
Speaking of new finds, I am very enthused about the product and service options available for mamas these days. As I sift through the many resources dealing with motherhood, I will provide lists for your navigating pleasure that will include at least five options of whatever category I am researching. Today, I found myself researching an array of eco-friendly products for baby created by socially and environmentally conscious companies. It is undeniable that we are a consumerist culture; our quote, unquote national worth is determined quarterly and annually by our GDP (Gross Domestic Product). Until they come up with some other social or environmental barometer, we will always be measured this way. That's Capitalism. But, that doesn't have to be a bad thing. It just means the more choices the better.

And, I have to say that I'm glad we have the multitude of products available that we do and I covet that we have the independence of deciding which consumer choices are best for us as indivuals. I'm a big proponent of freedom of choice, but given all the information available and our limited time frame for research, how can we expect to make good personal consumer choices? Solution. Babymamas. Or at least A solution. As an information junkie, I'd like to help in whatever way I can to assist others in making informed choices by providing the options I've found that are available. From there it's up to you.
