Profile Information

Relationship Status:: Married

About Me:: I’m a former 5th grade Special Education teacher of fifteen years and new mother. I’ve been a vegetarian for many years and always considered myself a “green girl” but when I became pregnant in early 2007, I discovered a whole new area of health concerns that I didn’t know about - plastics, personal care products and more.

I pour over research to learn as much as possible so I can help my daughter and family to be as safe from these dangers as possible and pass this information along to others on my blog.

Website:: http://tryingtobegreener.wordpress.com/

What does it mean to be a green and clean mom to you?: Continuing to learn more about how to have a more chemical-free home and body through research and discussions with all of you.

How many children and what are their ages?: I have one daughter who was born in December of 2007.

What green issues do you hope to learn about through this forum?: I'd like to learn as much as possible about less toxic products and how to continue to live a "greener" life.

I would like to learn more about the Mommy Go Green Blog Tours where I can feature and review green products on my blog.: Yes

Thanks for the nice welcome!

I'm happy to have a place to chat and interact with others who have similar interests.
You mentioned you'd like a weekly contributor and I am very interested in this. I think I would have many items of interest to your subscribers - I am one of the very first Green Designated agents with the National Assoc. of Realtors, an "e-PRO" (internet advertising and use from the NAR also), co-owner of a construction company AND a certified Master Gardener! I do not consider myself an expert on all things but definitely have resources to pull from! Could I possibly be of interest to what you are looking for?
Thanks!

Thank you for the warm welcome! I am looking forward to meeting others, networking and learning!
