It's Personal

Imagine if every able person in the U.S. sent one useful thing they no longer needed to someone who did.

This is one of the simple ideas driving Swap Mamas. A dream really. Because let's face it, we like our STUFF. In a society where a large number of us -- subconsciously or not -- define who we are by what we have, it's hard to part ways with our STUFF.

And when we do part ways with that STUFF, it makes perfect sense that perhaps we feel like we're giving away a little piece of ourselves.

Which is exactly the point.

Giving it away feels good. Giving it to someone who really needs it feels better. Giving it to someone you've made a personal connection with (who really needs it) feels utterly FANTASTIC.

Whether it's sending a box of baby clothes to a Mama in need; or walking next door and helping your neighbor, give it a shot. Give a little piece of yourself.

If you don't find yourself addicted to the feeling, this Mama will eat her shoe.
