I see you momma!
- Raise your hand if you want to make the world a better place.
- Raise your hand if you care about choosing eco-conscious products for your home and your families.
- Raise your hand if you have kids, work, run a home, have a to-do list that never quits and all this talk about making the world a better place feels a little more like “bless your heart” than “let’s do this!”.
Me too. To the absolute MAX.
We have read ALL the statistics and seen ALL the infographics on how we humans are slowly killing our planet day by day. But honestly, it just feels like one more thing we are supposed to add to our daily tasks and between the little people we have to keep alive, and the work we have to do to keep our households running it feels overwhelming. There have even been times when we’ve thought, “well we’ll tackle this responsibility once our kids are older and out of the house. Then we’ll have the mental capacity to handle this.” But the reality is we know deep down we should probably figure something out now so that those Littles see our habits and take them on for themselves.
We have met so many parents who are in the same boat - wanting to be eco-conscious but not having the mental bandwidth to do all the research. Enter Alyssa with Honeydew Goods. I started Honeydew Goods after our oldest daughter was diagnosed with cancer in 2018. While she is doing incredibly well now, the fear and trauma of it all sent us into a world in which we now check labels, source the things we buy and have been forced to change a lot of habits.
I’ll share more about our oldest’s journey with aggressive malignant cancer later, but for now just know that when we sponsor, promote or otherwise draw attention to any brand, including our own, it’s because we’ve researched the heck out of it and found that it’s safe for our home. And if it’s safe for our home, it’s safe for yours too! We are also pursuing how to make your life more eco-friendly where it makes sense. Some things won’t make sense for you right now (like reusable paper towels) and you should have grace with yourself for that.
Basically, if companies exist that check the boxes of “small business” and “eco-conscious” and “affordable” then it seems like a … win win win, (#shamelessofficereference), and you can expect to see it here on Honeydew Goods.
We’ll also introduce you to fun ways of reusing what you have on hand that can involve your kids and make the whole family enjoy the habit changes.
Finally, we’ll share with you other families that will inspire you to make eco-conscious choices and how that has impacted their community and family.
Our commitment is that every product we offer will be a SWAP product. That means that you won’t have to add something new to your collection that is just junk material and useless but is made sustainably, easily can substitute an item you have or have been wanting and requires NO brain energy from you. We also promise that they’ll always be fun and beautiful so you aren’t giving up your personal aesthetic to be eco-conscious.
