The Little Guys (and Moms) Are In Trouble...

and not in a fun way :(

In short, the CPSC has passed the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act which will yes, guarantee safer products for kids (which I obviously whole heartedly agree with!), but they do so in a way that makes it nearly impossible for small businesses to continue providing their amazing products. I don't think I can explain it in a way that does the topic justis, but have found a great post about it on Cool Mom Picks:

PLEASE! Read their article and then take just a couple of minutes to copy/paste their letter into a message to your local congressman. I did it, it only took a couple of minutes. If we can get some changes made to the act, SO many people would be appreciative!
