Bare Bottoms


In a time when "living Green" and making choices to keep mother earth healthy it's great to know that choosing green living doesn't always have to be the most expensive route. Reusing what we already have by passing along babies and children's clothing to other mom's, is what I have in mind.
We should be working to reuse that which is already in existence. Fashionable baby and kids clothes should be shared and it should be easy to share them. Imagine if you could go to a website, select a gender, a size and a style of clothes and up pops fabulous options of free clothing. This is what I am working on.
It's been said that in life "it takes a village" in marriage, family, and otherwise. As a new Mom I find the most valuable resource is other mom's. They are experienced, humbled, open minded, and in need of like minded ladies to be a support in their new journey of parenting. Spirituality, a sense of community and resources for support are most likely to help families stay together. Surrounding ourselves with those that inspire us and give us the kind of unconditional love we need to thrive and grow is a crucial part of our well being.
As a new mom, I have no doubt that hormones, sleep deprivation, lack of confidence, lack of routine, a crying baby, all play a part in a new parent feeling frightened and alone. The term Post pardum depression makes me laugh., what women wouldn't feel a little depressed when she cant find time for a shower, a meal, sex, a workout or to pour herself a well deserved glass of wine!!??
So getting back to my passion., I am looking for followers to share baby and children's clothes. This will be a focus of mine, to coordinate a site where moms can find others in their local communities and beyond to have:
What I call "Coffee and Boobie dates", online chats, a time to connect and share their best kept secrets, finds and personal resources that theyve uncovered in mommyhood. A book, a toy, a travel spot that is family friendly,a dietary conclusion, a health practioner, a favorite therapist, a favorite resource of any type that can help one another and in helping each other validating our concerns and answers our questions. The tools are out there, we need to know we are not alone and that this is the journey and we really are exactly where we are meant to be, enjoying the ride!!! Ahhhh another topic to share, aligning women who want to go for group bike rides!!!
