I stay at home with our toddler and am a spiritual director (and hope to start doing more of that soon). He works as a hospital chaplain. I like to blog when I'm inspired; he probably won't blog often (or ever, so you can assume anything written here is actually from me unless otherwise noted). Other than that, we're just people on a journey trying to figure out our faith as we keep living in this crazy world. :)

I know my first week of researching slave-free goods focused on chocolate already, but let's face it -- if you enjoy chocolate, you probably enjoy it in more than one form.
Thus, last week it was chocolate chips, but this week, it's hot chocolate! Perfect for this unexpectedly gloomy Southern California weather. :)
I'm learning that there are quite a few labels to look for when trying to buy conscientiously. Equal Exchange is a great one to look for because they are a smaller group that have more control over how goods are traded. They specifically focus on working with small farmer co-ops.
Their hot cocoa is fantastic. I found it at this awesome shop in Pasadena, Ten Thousand Villages. This store is a great place to find handmade gifts that are fairly traded. In fact, they were voted one of 2012 World's Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere. Pretty cool, right?
