So for those of you who frequent my
blog you know that I am a pro natural/ cruelty free momma who has tried to live
as ecologically friendly as possible for the sake of my family as well as our
planet.
This means that I only buy eco friendly
household products, I stopped buying any products that test on animals, I cloth
diapered and so on, and what I can say
from this experience is that cruelty free and eco logically friendly products
are often so difficult to find locally and in stores and I think this makes it
so much more difficult for people to make the change, also as much as people
are changing and evolving there isn’t always a host of pro natural information
because let’s face it the larger manufacturers of the world don’t want you to
stop buying their products they know their products are easier to get hold of
and are often even cheaper and if more people started making the change they
would lose out on a whole lot of money, unfortunately money is what drives the
world, we need more people to start thinking about the future of our earth, our
children’s futures to stop looking at profit and to make the change for the
good of everyone not just themselves.
So that leads me to the new logo I now
have displayed on my blog, for those eagle eyed readers yes I am talking about
the Thrive Heart now displayed on the sidebar of my blog, this logo is linked
to their website and I urge all you mommas out there to go on over and take a
look.
Basically Thrive is in short a natural
moms online guide it includes recipes, articles, online shopping links and a
whole lot more
The Thrive Team consist of; Mia Blom,
Jacqueline Baldwin, Janet Neilson and here is what these lovely ladies have to
say about Thrive…
“Our journey began 9 years ago. We were
mamas with new-borns, desperate for a bit of guidance. Like all new
mothers, we received a barrage of well-intentioned, but outdated information
and opinions and had little access to fresh perspectives. We knew that
there were innovative and eco-friendly baby products out there, but were
clueless where to find them. It was not that long ago, but it was before
social media, and we were based in the Garden Route – so we really were in the
dark!
By the time the babies, who’d suckled
while we burnt the midnight oil doing layouts, started ‘Big School’, we
discovered that they weren’t the only things that had changed. The world
was a very different place!
It was time for us to change too!”
Why print?
Even eco paper did not feel light
enough on the planet and totally unnecessary in a technologically changed world
where sharing information, quickly and inexpensively is possible.
Why just
survive?
We also realised that while there was a
time (which most new parents will know well) when surviving was the best we
could wish for on the average day, we had made good choices and our families
had thrived.
Why only help
families with babies and young children?
Survival Guide for Families has evolved
into www.2thrive.co.za. We will always hold young families very close to our hearts and
ensure our website, app and Facebook feeds address this market, but we are
broadening our scope to inform and inspire families as they evolve through all
ages and stages of life.
I absolutely love the fact that more ladies are
taking this initiative are taking the stand and trying to share all this
information with their fellow moms, the website has just launched and I already
feel that there is so much wonderful information on there to offer, I know I
have already pegged so many of the articles and yummy recipes myself.
As I said the logo does link to the website but they
also have a Facebook Page as well as an Iphone app and Android app as well, how awesome is that these ladies thought of everything!
You can also find their Green Family Guide here and if
you would like to find out more information or would like to be listed on their
website as a natural/ ecologically friendly family company you can contact
Jacqueline here.
