IT’S HIP TO BE GREEN
Pumpkin Doodle has just about everything for kids who want to be green, be hip, and be healthy
ASHEVILLE, NC—Lisa Hawkins knew that after having children, she would no longer be able to travel for work and that she would need to stay home with the kids for at least a little while. Little did she know, however, that a little while would turn into nine years. During this time, Hawkins realized just how important it is to not only respect and appreciate our environment, but also how doing so makes for healthier way of life.
Unfortunately, she also discovered how little information is available to parents who want to teach their kids these important concepts, and how the "green" market for baby products is sadly lacking in several areas. It was after spending numerous hours and effort researching green living for herself and her family, and working to create healthier products to expand this important market, that Hawkins started Pumpkin Doodle, her "youngest baby," and a company created from a recognized need in the marketplace.
Pumpkin Doodle gives parents the help they need to develop a green lifestyle for themselves and their children. While many green shelves in department stores are filled with organic diapers and blankets, there is little else to be found. And while the idea of "going green" and "buying organic" sounds great, parents may not really understand how important it is, or how it will fully benefit them and their children—now and in the future.
The Pumpkin Doodle website offers parents a full range of green items, from baby clothing to candles, cleaning products to home products, eco furniture and even clothes for mom and dad. There are also links to information on how to go green and why it matters, such as the benefits of bamboo, and information on why organic and non-toxic products are so important. In addition, Pumpkin Doodle's blog, It's Hip to Be Green, offers practical tips and advice on how parents can live a greener lifestyle and pass their skills onto their children.
Customers rave about the fun styles, scents, and details that go into every Pumpkin Doodle product. “We love your website, your products, and your service, and we'll certainly recommend you to our friends,” states Lyn G., an online client.
John Mackenzie says, “I am very pleased with the service and products I ordered. Products arrived well packaged and very quickly as well, considering they were coming to Canada. Lisa is very responsive and helpful when asked questions about her products. It is also nice to be able to have items shipped to Canada, which most stores won’t do. Some of those hard to find products are even harder to find in Canada, so thanks Pumpkin Doodle!”
It’s clear just how easy Pumpkin Doodle makes it for parents and youngsters alike to go green. As Lisa puts it in her own words, she wanted to “create a store so that parents could provide a non-toxic clean and healthy home for their children. So many sites just have diapers and clothing and blankets. There is so much more to a healthy environment than just the baby’s room. Children learn what they live and if a child grows up with the entire family living green then that's what they learn.”
