The site is pretty darn cool, my favorite two features being the customized registry section which features a green baby registry and a green kid’s birthday (and other gear) registry. I also really like the parent swap feature – a sort of online classifieds for pre-owned children’s items, local events, eco-businesses, and child care that can be swapped, donated or sold at a used price. It’s free to use and it’s a great way to stay green by exchanging goods rather than buying new.

Other website features include:

• An organic shop with natural baby gear, family apparel, toys, furniture, and more…
• Lauren’s Blog – although in my opinion it’s not so much a blog as an article site, but still there are useful topics covered and it’s a fun read.
• Awesome FREE yoga downloads for pregnancy and other stages of life.
• There’s a parenting information section that covers various topics for eco-smart parenting; Nutrition, Toy Safety, Attachment Parenting, Green living, Child Birth, Fitness, Holistic Medicine, Breastfeeding, Conscious Parenting and more.
• Organic Mommy TV which features some various videos both of products you might like and interviews with guest speakers.
• Organic Green Daddy section which features a blog which FYI is not updated hardly so don’t look there for green news, BUT it does cross post with the article section and I think the articles are useful and interesting for both mamas and dads. There’s also a good organic daddy shop.
• And more – the site has lots of little features and tips to check out.

Overall, the site was easy to navigate, pretty on the eyes, there were no major site glitches, and if you’re an organic, green parent, it’s worth a visit.

Check out Organic Green Mommy.

Looking for a Green Mom Community?

I’ve got some pretty elegant shoes to fill here at Inside Motherhood. I’m honored to be here!

When I left the hospital with my son, in my right hand, I had a three ring binder full of instructions on how to take care of myself after the birth. In my left hand, I held a single sheet of paper with a few sparse words on how to deal with my newborn–and half of that paper was concerned with caring for the umbilical cord site as it healed.

Somehow, that struck me as powerfully unfair. Where was the little bundle of joy’s instruction manual?

Well, everyone kind of makes it up as they go along. I hope to have a few good ideas for those of you who find yourselves a little stuck from time to time.
