MOM
Gorgeously Green Moms – your interest in everything green and your desire to create a better world for your children should be applauded! When I had a little baby, I started to really wake up to the pollution in and around my home. Nothing was more important than providing the healthiest environment I could for the impossibly helpless little bundle that I carried around 24/7. Mercifully, many of us have recently become aware of the horrific childhood dangers of pesticide and insecticide use in and around the home and many moms now eschew the use of toxic cleaners. We are also beginning to realize that we can raise much healthier, happier children on organic food. A collective conscious is burgeoning and we cannot afford to let up for a minute.

I love that we can teach our children to have enormous respect for Mother Earth and what she gives to us. We can encourage them to become stewards of our gorgeously green planet so that we will see a new generation of compassionate and caring individuals who inherently know that everything is interrelated.
