My First Mission…



We have become what I call modern day hippies…We grocery shop in heels but never use disposable grocery bags! (OK so never might be a little extreme…but we’re trying…so if the paparazzi catch us with plastic bags - don’t judge:) Our pantries have been stripped down to organic minimums, but we will never stop fussing over our hair!
This is why we are so excited about Earth Monkey Moms.  We are modern day moms surrounded by the temptation of “ease”, but what we continue to strive for are more ways that we can ban together and easily take small steps in protecting the beautiful planet God created for us, and the amazing people He gave us to care for.
We are excited to be releasing a new discussion every Friday along with fun posts on Monday and Wednesday that will make you laugh,cry and hopefully challenge us all. The topics will have a huge range…from easy mom hair, to moms of special needs children.  You will hear from experts in fashion to real estate (FYI…we’re not the experts, cause mama can’t know everything:)) The common theme is that WE will be challenged to grow by learning from other moms just like US!



Soon, we will introduce you to some exciting products you will come to love from Earth Monkeys. They are all geared to making your life as a mom simpler and also will help us all do our part to care for the environment.  We can’t tell you any more yet or we will have to tie you up and carry you around in the back of our cars, and frankly between the stroller, the clothing, the shopping bags and whatever is making that awful smell, there just isn’t room.  And honestly if we had to listen to one more person yelling, I’m sure we’d go crazy!  We are sooo excited so stay tuned!!!



So this week I want us to be more aware….Let’s think about everything we eat …everything we feed our kids.  Think about how much we are moving, how much time we’re spending with our kids … doing what they want to do.  (Not just feeding them goldfish crackers to keep them busy or shoving them in front of a movie so we can write blogs…woops we have a long way to go on that one:))
We need to think about what we are thinking about.  I want to challenge you to take a few minutes (in between poopie diapers, homework and fixing another pbj) to think about what is important. We as moms lose ourselves in the monotony of our daily schedules and checklists…Let’s start this week to be more aware and begin to takes positive steps toward change!  No I’m not running for office…just want to start the week off with a challenge because Lord knows by Wednesday I’ll have forgotten it all.
