I have been thinking about what it means to be a Green Mom today. Of course it means you recycle and reduce your footprint as much as possible. I am trying to be a little more “green” everyday but I am far from perfect or “certified green”. I still drive a car that uses gas, I eat meat, we use papertowels, etc… but I am making a conscious effort everyday to be greener. I believe every little bit helps and that is why I started this blog. I want to find cool green toys, green activities, and other green kids products and share them here.

Here are few things I am doing to be more “green”

1. I try to buy organic sustainable food for my home. I have also started looking buying local whenever it’s an option, farmer’s market are great for this!

2. Try to buy green products for us whenever possible, including toys and clothes(my two favorite things to buy) I have also started passing on products that come with a ton of packaging. Is it really necessary to have things in so many boxes just to do more advertising?

3. Seeking out green, cool, earth friendly clothes for the whole family.

4. Teaching my son about recycling, conservation, composting, and reducing waste.

Please tell me what it means to you to be a “Green Mom”?
