Mamas Got Heart was inspired by Yvonne’s Hopscotch Mom Blog (hopscotchmom.com), where she shares “ Tidbits of All Things Family, Children and Education related.”
After becoming mom and raising her own family, Yvonne was inspired to be more green, more mindful of all the purchases she makes. The birthday parties were always fun to plan, but she realized there were so many disposables from the one time use plastic goody bags to the often one time use decorations and toys.
She strived to make better choices as she picked out toys and goody bags that she thinks would be purposeful, educational and hopefully stick around for more than a few weeks. It was difficult to find non-plastic toys that were affordable or recyclable.
With all that said, Yvonne created this store to fill with eco friendlier choices that will hopefully last forever; or for when they do get tossed, it won’t add to the pile of plastic and goods that already overflow the landfill; or at least high quality enough to donate or pass on to another family member or friend for years to come.
I’d love for you to also stop by and find some modest health food initiatives! I’ve had a thoughtful athlete provide feedback on the Rip Van Stroopwafels I have on here and he buys them because he prefers them to the cookies offered by some "athletic" companies. He likes that they are less sugar, but enough to give you a boost and be somewhat filling! I hope you find some healthier snack options for your children, yourself and your family here! Not sure where to start? Feel free to email me at [email protected] for some recommendations-I would be more than happy to share some of my favorites!
Remember, everytime you shop Mamas Got Heart, you are supporting a Mama Run, Woman Run, Minority Run small business—a One Woman Operation!
The Fundraise Part of her store was inspired by all the times she helped volunteer to do fundraisers at her daughters' school and found so many one time disposables poor quality toys! She hopes to connect schools to a more mindful way to fundraise-- learning about real people and the companies they created, where everyone shares a story of how they contribute their passions and talents and making the world a better place.
