Food for Thought: Tragedy in Bangladesh Garment Factory

Source




Recently, there was a horrible tragedy involving a garment factory in Bangladesh. This factory provides CHEAP clothing to American companies. The news articles I read say that so many people were killed because the workers were in an unsafe building...and it got me thinking, what price am I willing to pay for cheap clothing?







Here are some news articles to check out in case you might be interested.

Left Foot Forward

Huffington Post

While, this may not exactly be Human Trafficking, I think it is so closely related because of the working conditions. I just want to say that we can support the exploitation of people without even knowing it, we just think we are getting a great deal on a cute shirt. I don't mean to offend anyone, but rather I want to get people thinking.

What are your thoughts?

Happy May!

There is something about the first day of each month that makes me feel like starting fresh, almost like a mini-new year. This morning, I had the idea of making a little goal list for this month of things that I want to accomplish. I have a million projects in mind and I tend to procrastinate! So...I thought writing them out and sharing them with you guys would help me stay accountable.  I'll also TRY to take pictures of them {I usually forget this step} and blog them as I get them finished!

1. Smash Journal Challenge
Found this on Pinterst
I have really been wanting to do a 30 day challenge, so today I begin this one :)

2. Read a Proverb a day.

3. Finish putting together our bathroom and bedroom {We just moved into a house! So a lot fun projects!}

4. Organize my closet and donate what I don't wear anymore.

5. Re- open my Etsy Shop....finally!

6. Make Sawyer's First Birthday Invitations {I can't believe she's almost a year!}

Those are it! What are your goals for this month?
