I just came across these 5 key factors from Marketing Moms Coaltion on what is important to moms in 2008...
1. Relationship/communication with their child
2. Quality of education for their child
3. Safety in the world for their children
4. Drug use among their peer group
5. Cyber/online safety for their children
All incredibly valid and real concerns! #3 jumped out at me because I talk to people about what it means to have a safe inside environment for their children. The first thing is to remove all toxic chemicals, some cleaning products have child proof caps for a reason- most of them are poisonous! Breathing in poison (or touching it for that matter) doesn't sound very desirable, does it?! Asthma is on the rise, especially in children, because of what they breath in when they are inside. You can't control everywhere they go but you can control the environment in your own home. Open the windows- I try to air out my house at least once a day, however brief, even in the winter. Second, think about what products you are using when you are bathing your child and yourself, many irritations can be alleviated by not using products that contain toxic ingredients. Third, work on boosting the immune systems of your entire family so that you are in a better position to fight off sickness. How? Take your vitamins! The Journal of American Medicine Association says everybody should be taking a daily multi-vitamin. I'm very diligent with my vitamins and haven't been sick in 1-1/2 years!
Here comes the "ask" part of today's post... I am looking for moms who want to make better, safer product decisions in their homes while going green and being eco conscious at the same time. Did you know that 85% of women control their household spending but feel uninformed and like they don't always have available to them the best options for their family?! Secondly, this economy is rough and the average American family needs an additional $500 to get by each month. Moms that have been staying home and not working are thinking about having to pick up some thing part time to bring additional income into their homes. Lots of moms (and dads) are being laid off right now and are looking for a new way to define work and would love to find a way to incorporate that into staying home with their children while creating a completely new life now. I am looking for them! I want to partner up with motivated job seekers so together we can educate others and share this healthier, safer way of of living, whether it's part time, full time or something in between. No discrimination here, dads are encouraged to also take an active part in making healthier, smarter decisions at home too!
