It’s here! It’s here! A longtime dream has finally come to reality!!! Back when Laura started babybites in 2006, she had a single goal: to connect other moms while learning about important parenting topics (and have fun!). And now Mommybites mission is quite the same: support, resources, education and connections.
It’s just that easy- we really want to help you be the best parent you can. And a natural outgrowth of that mission has been for us to share what we are interested in and fascinated by in our personal lives since we are all moms going through the same journey as many of you. One of those topics, that all of us on the Mommybites team is heavily invested in, is living a healthy life.
You may have noticed my weekly Green Parenting column that was started due to my own quest to become a more environmentally conscious parent in the daily choices I make. The community we have built around this topic has been amazing and I am in awe of the questions, sharing and efforts we make on a daily basis to live a greener life.
So when a friend of ours, Dustin Bryson who works at Lemi Shine, said he wanted to make a space where a parenting community can talk about sustainable and healthy living, we knew we had the community to do just that. So we created Healthy Living, a blog that is co-hosted* by Lemi Shine.
What is our Healthy Living section all about?
Healthy Living is a place on our website where you can find more about how to live a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. There are so many factors in our daily lives that all contribute to our overall health – nutrition, environment, products – it is important for us to take a holistic look at how we can better our health in all we do.
Each week we will share – and invite healthy living experts to come share – the tips and tricks we can all use to create a better environment for ourselves and our families and largely our world. Moms move the world; let’s make it a healthier one.
How often will we see new posts on Healthy Living?
We aim to have between 2 – 3 new posts per week.
Who will be contributing to this section?
Our first month’s contributors are
– Wendy Bradford who will be writing a monthly “Diary of a New Green Mom” as she begins the journey to living a healthier life. Wendy blogs for our NY chapter pretty regularly and also has a great blog of her own, Mama One to Three.
