Classy Mommy: Just Be Cause...
Categories: Money & work, Toys & games
I like neato mommy stuff as much as the next mom. But there is a lot of it out there. Way more, it seems, than there was just 10 years ago, back when I had my first baby. And way, way more than any mom has time to go through, in any case.
Fortunately, there are lots of sites out there dedicated to sorting through the best of that stuff. Lots of sites to help you decide what's the coolest, cutest, funniest or most appropriate for the baby shower.
Ah, but here's a site with a little something extra. ClassyMommy not only lists a whole host of yummy-looking products for mom and baby, but it donates earnings from sales made from its partner sites.
"Wired moms command $1.7 trillion in marketing spending," says ClassyMommy founder Colleen Padilla. "When you buy something online, somebody is getting a commission from your purchase, anywhere from 4%-15% of the total price you pay. I thought it would be great if we could direct some of those dollars to important charities out there."
What are those important charities? Charities that benefit women and children, of course. These include Save the Children and Project Peanut Butter. Classy Mommy donates 100% of affiliate marketing revenue to these charities.
That would make me feel a little bit better about blowing $200 for that Kate Spade diaper bag,which, of course I don't need now (thank God Kate hadn't launched her line back when I did need a diaper bag!) But that wooden sushi set....now that looks kinda fun. Check out the site and use your mommy dollars to help some worthwhile charities!
