Green Mommy Thoughts... 5 years later

Where do I start? In 2007 I started this blog as a place for me and a few of my mom friends to share Eco-friendly tips and ideas. At the time we had babies and toddlers. We talked about how we could raise our families in a way that would be in harmony with nature. Our kids grew and we became less passionate about cloth diapers. Those early baby years passed and we became busy with school age kids. Some of us started focusing more on careers. In short, life pulled us in different directions.

Not keeping Green Mommy alive has been a regret of mine. One of the "Green Daddy's" even created an awesome website for us. I've often wondered what could have happened with that site if I'd have been more committed.

Well I can't go back in time... all I have is the present. I'd like to bring Green Mommy back. If others are open, I'd like to continue the conversation. Today is Earth Day... if ever there was a day to come back... today's the day!

My kids are 9 and 11 now. I have different concerns than I did when they were little. In the days to follow I will post green issues that are on my mind... and I invite you AGAIN to join the conversation.

Welcome Visitors!

If you're reading for the first time, it may feel a bit like you've just walked into a conversation that has been going on for awhile.

So to catch you up...

Jennifer started this blog because she was going through the process of becoming more conscious of her lifestyle choices and had decided to "go green". As she talked to her friends she quickly realized that she was not the only one interested in making changes. The blog was born. We used this as a place to discuss things we've tried and to support each other in the journey.
