Becoming a new mom is extremely time consuming and a bit overwhelming at times, but the most tedious tasks are also the most rewarding. Shopping for baby clothes is by far the most exciting experience for an expecting mom.

How many years ago did we stop making our own clothing? When you really think back, was it really that long ago? I can't imagine making my own garment labels, clothes labels, custom patches, or emblems to adorn magnificently sewn pieces of material that I myself took the time and effort to make.

Pondering the idea of one day placing my two little ones in the girl scouts, I began to think back to my days as a Brownie, then a Girl Scout Jr., and how I really didn't collect too many of the Girl Scout custom patches, emblems, clothes labels, or garment labels.

I have to admit most people know nothing about clothes labels. For that matter, most people know nothing about custom patches, emblems, garment labels, or sew labels either.

Every company in every industry has a way of representing who they are and what they do, and religious institutions are no different from any other moneymaking business.

Too many times we hear about sweatshops and union workers striking because of the low wages that they, as garment workers, are being paid, and the forced child labor that occurs. We all remember the Kathy Lee Gifford controversy with the textile manufacturer in Honduras.

In the new age of Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and Selena Gomez custom labels are an integral part of the wardrobe selection for the likes of stylish celebrity children like Suri, Jadan, and Nahla.

Custom emblems represent who we are; they determine how a person perceives us individually or how they perceive the company we own or represent.

Being a mother of two little girls under the age of three, I have started to notice the fashion trends for toddler sized clothing. It seems to me that lately kid's clothes labels have been a bit more sophisticated than in the past.

Tradition shapes the lives of everyone in this world. Whether you live in the jungles of Africa or the cities of North America, traditions are what ensure the survival of a people's culture.
