Pre-Order My Mommy is a Blogger

greenandcleanmom — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 15:51:13 +0000

5 years ago I went through leadership training with my local chamber and we had to create a drawing of our future. The type of drawing that had bridges, road blocks, and white picket fences and should depict dreams and challenges. At that time I was newly married, teaching preschool and could not get pregnant [...]

Color Yourself Happy

There is something about coloring that is like therapy. It is relaxing and the concentration of staying in the lines – it feels great! When I decide to color outside of the lines I feel silly, crazy and like I’m rebelling! If you haven’t colored with your kids lately, try it! To help make coloring [...]

Bananas Aren’t Just for Monkey’s

greenandcleanmom — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 13:04:34 +0000

I learned today that the banana is America’s number one fruit and they have no fat, cholesterol or sodium! My kids love bananas but because they’re available year around and they are affordable, we get bored eating them.

Healthy Fruit Dips for Kids

Thanksgiving has passed and the few days before the holiday I was busy cleaning, stocking up on food for the family that stays at my home and doing as much pre-cooking as possible.

Parenting is so confusing, don’t you think? One day we think we are doing the right thing by giving a timeout but then we hear that we could be causing emotional trauma. Grandma tells you to toilet train your child at 6 months and the doctor says to start at 2 years of age. Who [...]

After writing about advocating for your child and giving a voice to a cause, this seems like a very timely post. Last month when the Toxic Tub report came out and on the heels of this report the J&J bubble bath video contest, I was inspired to do something. I didn’t want to throw stones [...]
