Fair Trade

After an absolutely beautiful weekend we are back to our rainy spring weather. I took Spencer to preschool this morning and then took Hudson and Finley with me to our monthly MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) meeting. Drop off went great! I always feel so good when I'm able to take the three boys somewhere with great success! Finley hardly cried in the car at all, Spencer was excited to go to school and Hudson had no problems going to his MOPPET meeting.

Today's guest speaker was from "Ten Thousand Villages" http://www.tenthousandvillages.com/home.php

I had noticed Fair Trade products before but always wondered what it truly meant. It's definitely something worth supporting but I feel challenged in that I don't see that there are many products I consume that fall into the Fair Trade category. I plan to start with coffee but I definitely need to do more research so that I have a better understanding of what it means to be a Fair Trade consumer.
