I am a thirty-something wife and mother of two beautiful babies. Big B, our independent, Earth loving, boy is 8 yrs old and complains if you don’t recycle. Lil’ B is our sassy and spunky toddler. Born in January 2009, Lil’ B was our natural baby: breastfed for 2 years, worn for as long as she’d let me, and our professional cloth diaper reviewer and model. She’s now our almost potty trained princess who packed most of her cloth away for another loving family. Daddy is your typical sports fanatic who thinks his wife is crazy! But he supports me in everything that I do and for that I love him. Me, well I obviously care about the environment and want to conserve our natural resources for future generations. As a mother I want to lead by example in the hopes that my child will grow up with the knowledge and passion to make a difference. We’re not perfect and we certainly don’t always live the green lifestyle we strive to live – but we try really hard to lead by example!
My passion growning up was the arts and the ocean. After my initial pursuit in graphic design I decided to switch my career path to Biology. I have a degree in Biology with a focus on aquatic ecosystems. My professional life has opened the environmental world for me. Until recently I was working for a company as an environmental contractor for a government agency. My job function was to implement and manage their environmental program and continually look for ways to improve and reduce their environmental footprint that they leave on this nation. I have job experience in Hazardous Materials, Waste Prevention and Recycling, Green Purchasing, Energy Managment, Water Management, Electronics Stewardship, Alternative Fuels, Environmental Management, Regulatory Compliance, Facilities Auditing, Training, and Outreach & Education. Pretty much an eco-junkie!
In 2011 I made a career change and I’m now a Marketing & Social Media Manager for a cloth diaper retailer and for a brand of cloth diapers. I’m so excited that I’ve been able to turn my passion for blogging and cloth diapers into a career.
The one thing I’ve learn through my life and career is that you have to make things easy. I hope that I will be able to offer you common sense ideas that you can use to make a difference in your everyday lives. I hope you enjoy my journey into reducing my families environmental footprint.
A portion of the proceeds from this blog go to support the Real Diaper Association; a non-profit cloth diapering advocacy group.
