Tomorrow is the 8 year anniversary since I took the plunge and launched my original Facebook page: Eco-friendly baby/family products MADE in the USA (I’m not good at being concise)… Since I have a super busy day out of the house tomorrow, I wanted to mention it today while I’m thinking of it.
On 2/22/12, as my 1st born was 3 weeks from turning 1 year old, I thought: maybe I should launch my own page to share these lists of great companies/products I’ve found while staying up late researching. Maybe others care about safe products made in the USA too? And I went for it. And I got my 1st ‘like’, then another, then another. That original page is just a couple likes shy of 14K, this closed group came several years later and is approaching 6K members, and my website averages 100K unique views annually.
I just want to remind y’all that this Mama of a 9 (almost) & 6 year old, who lives out in the woods of rural Wisco, with no neighbors, continues to count her blessings that y’all value what I have to say. That we share similar values. That you take the time to contribute knowledge you have on particular subjects. I firmly believe it does take a village to raise the next generation. And for many of us, a big part of that village is online. I’m feeling extremely grateful, blessed, and excited, about 8 years of sharing my beliefs and values with others that care. Here’s to another 8, 18, 28 🙂 ♥
