A Mom Ambassador for a year, she and her group members meet each Tuesday in the gym of a local church (or in the park, when it’s nice out). Learn more about her and her group!]]> http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/2012/02/mom-ambassador-of-the-month-melissa-r/feed/ 0 http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/2012/02/from-your-chief-mom-ambassador-back-to-work/ http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/2012/02/from-your-chief-mom-ambassador-back-to-work/#comments Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:19:01 +0000 Annie Douglass http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/?p=3657 During my maternity leave, I thought a lot about how I would transition back to work. I’m fortunate enough to have a job that I love that provides me with a flexible schedule so that I can have a balanced work and family life. Even so, as the day approached for me to head back to the job, I had feelings of doubt and anxiety. Will my baby be upset that I’ve been gone for so long--or worse, will he remember me as his mommy? What if he ends up loving his caregiver more than me?]]> http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/2012/02/from-your-chief-mom-ambassador-back-to-work/feed/ 1 http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/2012/01/advice-magnet/ http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/2012/01/advice-magnet/#comments Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:57:27 +0000 Jessica Roake http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/?p=3628 My son, Elliot, has always been a very little boy. After three years of specialists, weigh-ins, tests, and lots of butter, we’ve discovered that he is healthy, developmentally on track—and small for his age. But while professionals express no concern, countless lay-pediatricians still can’t resist sharing their opinions on Elliot’s size.]]> http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/2012/01/advice-magnet/feed/ 0 http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/2012/01/home-delivery/ http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/2012/01/home-delivery/#comments Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:44:20 +0000 Hollace Schmidt http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/?p=3615 Melissa knew she wanted a midwife when her baby was born (a midwife delivered her and her sister). But where would be the best place to deliver? She ruled out birthing centers, which she found uninviting, and hospitals, because she was worried she’d be pressured into drugs or a C-section. She loved the idea of a home birth because during labor, she’d be able to shower in her own bathroom or go out for fresh air—and once the baby was born, snuggle up in the family bed.]]> http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/2012/01/home-delivery/feed/ 3 http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/2012/01/happily-ever-after-with-allergies/ http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/2012/01/happily-ever-after-with-allergies/#comments Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:43:23 +0000 Marygrace Taylor http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/?p=3622 Once upon a time, a child with food allergies was an anomaly. He might have been the only one in his class who couldn’t touch certain foods, and even other family members often didn’t really understand what he could and couldn’t eat. Now, all that’s changed: One in 12 children under 18 have a food allergy (reactions to peanuts, milk, and shellfish are the most common), according to a major national survey recently published in the journal Pediatrics. But this doesn’t have to be a grim fate: Here’s how families live with allergies every day.]]> http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/2012/01/happily-ever-after-with-allergies/feed/ 0 http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/2012/01/annies-organic-rising-crust-pizza/ http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/2012/01/annies-organic-rising-crust-pizza/#comments Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:38:35 +0000 Moms Meet http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/?p=3597 Make everyone in the family smile with Annie’s Certified Organic pizzas that feature hearty rising crusts, exceptional ingredients and crafted like you would at home—whole grains, real cheeses, and organic meats & vegetables.

A natural, unrefined, lower-glycemic sweetener that’s derived from the nectar of the coconut tree blossom, Madhava’s Organic Coconut Sugar is a perfect choice for beverages, baked goods, and desserts.

Think of them as one-stop shops to learn tons about a brand and their product, plus access other goodies you’ll love to share with your group members. Our sampling centers for Zevia All Natural Soda and Ecover launched earlier this winter, with more soon to follow.]]> http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/2012/01/moms-meet-101-why-youll-love-our-new-sampling-centers/feed/ 5
