Intro post

[brigid]

Hello. I'm Brigid and I'm 30 and recently had my first baby.

I'm getting more and more frustrated with mainstream parenting and baby sites and blogs which assume that parents have more money than sense. Most baby things are incredibly and pointlessly expensive, and awfully gendered. This looks like a good and sensible place to get away from that mind set.

I look forward to discussion on this community.

Intro post

Hi all!

I'm really happy to find this community, and I hope more folks join...I'm mom of two and live in Generic Minivan Materialist Suburbia outside of Chicago, IL and am trying to find a way to raise my kids to not feel like they have to fit into the same mold as the culture around us.  My journal here is sort of about my efforts to "green" our lives and kind of live in both worlds (since professionally we can't exactly pick up stakes and move to a small farm in Vermont or anything)...

Nice to meet y'all!

Introduction and Invitation

[peachtess]

Hiya! I'm a new Mommy with an 8 month old. My husband, daughter, and I live in Ontario Canada and love it here. We've been researching ways to live a more Green lifestyle and are slowly introducing them into our lives.

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.


I'd also like to invite anyone interested to join my community for green families. You can find it at eco_parent.


Note: If the invitation isn't okay let me know and I'll just edit it out.
