Ever since I got pregnant, I felt a new desire to make life the absolute best I could for my daughter. This "better world" includes every aspect of her life, from spiritual and intellectual well-being to physical and emotional health. With this giant goal in mind, I realized that several changes needed to take place. I'm taking steps to grow closer with God in order to lead my daughter in a faithful walk with her Father. I joined Weight Watchers so that I can demonstrate good health habits and to prevent some of the same weight issues I had growing up from being a part of her life. I went back to school to learn new, marketable skills, expanding my knowledge base and setting us up to be self-sufficient. And I'm adopting new methods of living that will reduce our negative impact on the environment. That's what this blog is about.
I'm an amateur greenie, far from being as crunchy as many of my fellow mommies. But as with anything else, a lifestyle change happens gradually so that it can be more easily maintained. This blog is about the things I'm doing and in no way purports to be a guide that others "should" follow. Like I said, since I'm relatively new to this, my methods will likely be clumsy and flawed and at times laughable, but I hope they are at least leaning in the right direction. My hope is that I'll be mostly successful and able to show that making the changes - and having fun at the same time - is possible for even the busiest, least crunchy moms out there.
