The beginning of something huge....LIKE HUGE HUGE!

Being the biggest procrastinator of life I've avoided this 'beginning' for a couple of years now. I have been called to begin this and feel as if it is something I'm truly meant to do. I've been told by many people (my mom, my friends, Angels, psychics ...etc) that perhaps this is where I should be headed. Now, with all signs pointing in the same direction....and signs SLAPPING me in the face every corner I turn I feel I'm finally ready. I am here to start my book. I don't know exactly what I will be writing about but, perhaps that will come as I jam out words on this here computer.

My general topic? Saving the World (and Your Money) One Baby at a Time [sounds like a good title to me]

Strangely enough, our modern-day North American culture is NOT at all conducive to saving the world (which NEEDS all the saving it can get) nor does it lend itself to saving money. In fact, I've found that it does the opposite in the most extreme fashion....especially when babies are involved. You're expected to buy packages upon packages of baby products spending loads and loads and LOADS of money. "Having babies is the most expensive thing you will do in your lifetime", people say. You're lead to believe that "this is the way. THE ONLY WAY". Well, frankly, if you're reading this you've already taken the first step - STEP ONE: Think for yourself!

I'm not saying that you never have to spend money when you have babies....just sayin' that you can probably make-do with far 'less' than you had orginally thought. I'm here to tell you, less is more....LESS IS REALLY MORE! Read on dear friends, let's learn together (and I'll even do the math for you!).

A little outline of where my thoughts may take us (these thoughts are currently written on a little square napkin):

1.Preparing to welcome baby home
2.Diapering
3.Feeding
4.Toys
5.Furniture
6.Household products
7.Accessories

I'm sure more topics will arise once writing commences but....in general, this will keep us busy for SOME TIME I'm sure.
