Devon's Deer
Plant the Seed of Charity
There are so many wonderful stores and companies and websites featuring myriad organic baby products- it can make your head spin. But aren't we lucky? Aren't we lucky that we live in a time (finally) when all of this is available to us; at time when we don't have to buy chemically laden baby toys and furniture, when we can choose to buy "corporate" baby products or local, artisanal or handmade.
I think that what we do now, the choices we make for our families are the first lessons children learn when they are confronted with making their own choices about sustainable products, about chemicals in their food, about pesticides and about animal welfare.
I would go so far as to say these are the first seeds of charity. Teaching children that our choices- the basic ones we make everyday- are the building blocks to healthy environments for children all over the world and for animals in the sea, the sky and those that share the land with us. This is where children start to understand their unique and special role in this great web of life.
As parents it is both daunting and exhilarating to be so fundamental a part of this time in a new person's life. Teach your children well and they will reward you and their community in kind.
We are working to be a part of the solution- www.lillunia.com
Love your families- love your animals!
