Two years ago Maryanne Fitzgerald commuted three hours a day to her job. Today, she spends the extra time with her son and daughter and building “Mom ’s World”.
Fitzgerald reached the point in her career where she only saw her children a few hours a day. The financial gain for the job wasn’t worth the losses to her family. Stress was taking a toll, too.“ I would come home, stressed and tired from working, make dinner, put the kids to bed, only to do the whole thing over again the next day. I knew there had to be a better way.” So Mom’s World was born.
There were some false starts getting rolling, says Fitzgerald. Giving up the job wasn’t hard, but giving up the income required her to find another way. “So I made the choice to quit my professional career and stay home, but I still wanted to bring in an income. After a few ‘false starts’ with several companies I came across a company which provided people with safe alternatives to everyday household products. “
The media is hesitant to tell consumers that every day products like shampoo, toothpaste, detergent and cleaning products are harmful. Mom’s World is spreading the word!
Mom’s World isn’t just a website for mommies to come together online. Maryanne says, “After doing extensive research myself regarding household toxic chemicals, I decided to create “Mom’s World” and make it my personal mission to educate families about the dangers of using everyday household products. Most people don’t realize for example, that Lysol is a pesticide, or that Johnson’s and Johnson’s baby shampoo contains formaldeyhyde and phenol which are known carcinogens. Mom’s World is dedicated to helping educate families and provide them with alternative products which are cheaper, safer, and work better than anything bought in a store.“
Today, Fitzgerald describes a typical day as juggling and time management. She considers time management to be the biggest key to success for a work at home mom. She advises, “Plan your day the night before. Write down at least 3 activities you will do the next day to move your business forward. Put it on your bedside table. Make sure it’s the last thing you see when you go to sleep, and the first thing you see when you wake up.”
Starting Mom’s World has led to an incredible education on toxins in the home for Fitzgerald. To discover what your home might be storing as a danger, start by thinking of your home as a toxic waste dump! The average home today contains 62 toxic chemicals – more than a chemistry lab at the turn of the century! The biggest thing is that most household cleaning products contain chemicals such as formaldehyde or phenol, which could be making you and your family very sick.
When asked aren’t tested products safe for households, Fitzgerald answers, “The laws that are currently in place are there to protect big business – NOT the consumer. Companies are under no legal obligation to list the exact ingredients on the package label, or the long term effects of the chemicals. The majority of chemicals have NEVER been tested for long-term effects.”
These toxins are especially harmful to children because:
1. Children’s bodies are less developed – their immune system is less developed, and cannot protect against toxic exposures.
2. Children’s bodies absorb more pollutants.
3. Children put more foreign objects in their mouths.
Mom’s World provides alternatives for you and your home to these harmful toxin laden products. Call for a free in-home analysis! 905-690-2317 Maryanne comes into your home, identifies which products you are using that are unsafe, and suggests safe alternatives. For every product in the store, there is a safe alternative. Things like shampoo, laundry detergent, toothpaste, and dish washer detergent can be purchased without the dangerous chemicals.
Fitzgerald cites the biggest challenge in starting her home based business has been consumer education and advertising. Without a large marketing budget, small and home based businesses have to be creative in their marketing. Two years later, she has met the challenge!
