Unusual Gifts…

‘Tis The Season Of Gift Giving… At least that is what the department stores want us to believe. It still surprises me that rather than waiting for each holiday to pass, the stores skip to decorating for Christmas around Halloween. Do they just forget about Thanksgiving? Whatever holiday is just around the corner, I seem to look for gifts all year-long. No, I’m not always in a gift giving mood. I am always in a shopping mood though! There is nothing better than finding, and receiving unusual gifts because…

Rarely would anyone buy unusual gifts for themselves, and
There is a VERY slim chance that someone else will give the same gift. :)

So, to kick off this holiday season earlier than department stores, you may find a few unusual gifts here and there being showcased on Trending Mom! The two below simply make me smile…

Happy Accident Container Set - Pencils and utensils fit in these! Love ‘em!

Pick Up the Cent Bank - Cutest piggy/cat bank!

Rwanda Path To Peace

Haiti – Rwanda Path To Peace – Macy’s – Artisans

“Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic.”

- Oscar Wilde

The quote above by Oscar Wilde epitomizes what I am about to introduce you to. Over a decade ago, the people of Rwanda endured what most will never experience. In a matter of about 100 days, the women of Rwanda were subject to watching close to one million of their families and neighbors destroyed by genocide.

Imagine yourself in the midst of this… A woman, living in a country where you were considered a second-rate citizen, left with nothing. In an effort to restore hope, the women of Rwanda embraced their roots and began weaving beautiful baskets to sell, so they could give more for their families. The baskets are not only exquisite, they are a true symbol of strength. By weaving the baskets, the women of Rwanda have been working towards a greater good. After experiencing one of the worst evils, these women are working towards rebuilding their lives and their communities.

In 2005, Willa Shalit, started The Rwanda Path To Peace Project. She partnered with Macy’s and helped the women of Rwanda’s dream become a reality. Through the partnership, the women of Rwanda have been able to generate income to put their children through school, provide healthcare for their young and more. Each basket is made with craftsmanship and pride. The women of Rwanda have a cause… and they are achieving it.

I was fortunately introduced to this project through a wonderful email I received. Shortly after, I received a beautiful basket in the mail. I sat for a few moments just staring at it, thinking of the story behind the woman who made this basket. I thanked God that I did not have to endure what she did. I also thanked God that I was blessed with such a beautiful gift and even more, a wonderful story to tell every time someone looks at my basket. I can only hope you will take a moment and read their story on the Macy’s website, hopefully buy a basket, and help the lives of these amazing women, and their families.

Going Green, Day Six And Seven… Purge!

Day Six And Seven, February 11th and 12th, 2012
Green Change: PURGE

I realize that my goal was to incorporate one green change per day but unfortunately, this one took more time than expected. After spending Thursday evening with a group of friends, eating fantastic food and chatting, I admitted something I have known about myself for quite some time. Although I am aware of this issue I have, until last Thursday, I never said it out loud. I am a hoarder! Yes, I truly am. It is not that I have mounds of things laying around my house or that you cannot see a foot in front of you but… I do have a problem letting go of my belongings. As if that ripped shirt I loved in college will really ever be worn by me again. Somehow, until this weekend, I had trouble letting go. Along with revamping my bedroom and painting it a fantastic deep purple (which I cannot believe I did), I chose to do the unthinkable. So far, I have only gone through my own clothes but was able to get rid of 7 large garbage bags worth of clothes. I am bringing them to various charities this week and feel pretty good! A vow I have made is to start being a little more honest about what I think I should keep and less greedy. Trust me… it was invigorating!

Houzz, Home Improvements, Apps & Fun!

279,687 Pictures a moment ago! A few days ago, while sharing some talk time with a great group of ladies, a friend mentioned the app houzz. I immediately grabbed my iPad and downloaded it. Who knew what I was about to jump into!
After going home, I began using this incredible app! Here are the basics: First, thousands, as mentioned above, pictures with details of home ideas! Some traditional, some just amazingly unique! It gets better though! Like pinterest, you can create your own notebooks, walls, pin up areas or whatever you want to call them. For each picture, you have the ability to create a note or even click on a piece of furniture, floor or whatever interests you and read exactly what it is or where it’s from! Even better, you can see who the designer/contractor was and get their information.
Basically, if you are looking to build a home, get some decorating ideas or do any home improvement and you don’t download this app, you are nuts! Thank you to my friend for letting me know about houzz and thanks to houzz and any contributors for making their app incredible!!!
