I've Been Perked by Klout - Moms Make A World of Difference

By -
Last week Saturday my son went to the mailbox for me and came back with this. Just in time for Mother's Day I received this huge box of goodies from Klout in honor of mothers, families, and communities around the world. "Fair Trade USA, Moms Make A World of Difference" is making a difference in the lives of many. 

With every purchase you make of any fair trade certified product you are helping communities living in poverty take care of their families. Visit, www.befair.orghttp://www.befair.org/ to find out about Fair Trade Moms and how you can contribute. 

Here are some examples of how Fair Trade helps invest in the lives of others.
  • Fair Trade is helping moms in Rwanda buy their kids shoes so that they can attend school.
  • It's giving expectant mothers in Ecuador safe working conditions and maternity leave.
  • It's empowering women in Peru to earn a fair share for their work so that they can buy nutritious food for their families.
"Fair Trade is a powerful model to fight poverty in farming communities. The idea is that you purchase the Fair Trade product and the farmer receives a fair share for his or her hard work. This model allows farmers to keep their kids in school, bring medical care and clean water to their communities, and improve the quality of their products. The choice is a small one, but collectively, our small purchasing decisions have a large impact on families and communities."

Dig in, and support where you can. I'm sure you'll find a product or two that's just for you.

This is by far the best Klout perk I've received. 
I love supporting whenever and wherever I can. It's an importance that I instill in my children. My hope is that they'll continue with the desire to give back, to help, to be a part of changing someones life for the better.



*Disclosure - I was given a free product or sample because I'm a Klout influencer. I am under no obligation to receive the sample or talk about this company. I get no additional benefits for talking about the product or company.

My Monday Morning Started At 11:00PM...Last Night!

We had to take little j. to the Doctor this morning because last night he didn't sleep good and neither did we. He kept crying and crying and wouldn't stop. We were completely thrown because he had such a good day. Could it be: 1. He's teething and it's bothering him? Yes, but a little baby Orajel and infants Tylenol should have done the trick. It didn't. 2. I ate something that didn't agree with him? Of course we couldn't come up with anything. 3. He was just so tired from everything we did yesterday and it was hard for him to fall asleep? Maybe. 4. He got bit by a bug and we didn't know? We checked all over, no bites. We even checked to see if there was a piece of hair wrapped around his little fingers and toes. None! 5. Because he's teething he could have an ear infection? Yes very possible but he didn't show the usual signs: fever, pulling at his ears (that looked like it was out of the norm for him because it's something he does often...

Inspired To Write...

The other day a friend of mine asked me, where have you been? She then proceeded to say, it's like you fell off the face of the earth. I laughed and said, "no, I've actually fallen onto the face of the earth". Girl, thanks for that little laugh, I appreciated the moment :) I've fallen onto the face of the earth and bumped right into my family, friends (old and new), business partners, business meetings, social gatherings, moms meetings, and so many activities for the kids, life has been busy. My natural journey has opened so many doors, talk about beautiful women. Sistah's who have inspired me to keep going and stay focused on the end result rather than the transitioning stage. These days I mostly wear my hair in a ponytail-bun. I don't have time to get all fancy, but when I can I'll do a two-strand twist style and use my latest product discovery, Oyin Handmade . They are very reasonable and the products smell so good. If it's one thing I...
