Yes, I am working on a Sunday. Acutally my husband would say I work almost every Sunday, actually almost every day. I never understood work-a-holics and perhaps I still do not understand a lot of them. However, standing outside of my life people may think I am a work-a-holic. But I don’t feel like one. I simply feel like a person so impassioned about what they do that I can not stop thinking about it. I feel like I have been blessed to work at Franklin Goose and that what we do is important, fun and noteworthy so I don’t want to stop. I actually love what I do and when you love something it is hard to step away from it. Yes, this makes getting the laundry done difficult, it makes leaving the computer in sleep mode almost impossible, it makes slow business days seem personal, but it also makes me feel like in some small way I am contributing to making our planet a better place and to growing the awareness of what we are doing to ourselves by allowing chemicals into our everyday lives. Our dedication at Franklin Goose to strictly vetting each product on the site keeps me very busy but it is vital to maintain the integrity of who we are as well as keeping the dedicated merchants we carry in good company.

So this week I have decided to start explaining the materials we will not allow on our site. There is a very confusing world out there of crazy long names, and misrepresentations. I am going to give you the facts as our research has shown us and give you an explanation of why we feel they should not be on our site. It is up to you to decide how you feel about them but this way perhaps it will cut down on the confusion of what all of these ingredients actually are.

Here is our commitment, and  a glimpse of what we will be talking about everyday: Our Story
