About Green Mama's Pad

Hello and welcome to my pad! I am Marianna and this is my blog, Green Mama's Pad. I live in New England with my husband and our 4 sons. William is the oldest and is 5, twins Luke and Joshua are 2.5 and baby Daniel just arrived in December 09 and is 3 months old. My husband and I have been married for 6.5 years and together for 10.5. We are both big Star Wars fans and have already corrupted our oldest son, who is completely obsessed with Star Wars.

About 2.5 years ago after learning how many toxins are in the personal care products we use every day, I started to make a switch to more natural products and so began my journey down the green path. From there it snowballed into natural cleaners, organic foods and so on. As a friend once told me, its a "slippery slope!" It sure has been a challenge with a resistant husband and a family who probably thinks I am nuts, but I know that what I am doing is good for me, my family and our planet.

I started this blog in hopes to help others make the leap to being more green. Looking for some easy things to change in your life? Well then be sure you check out my Going Green Tips. I also love finding cool eco-friendly products and introducing them to my readers so I frequently have Product Reviews and Giveaways. One of my favorite reviews is the Savvy Rest Shredded Latex Pillow - I love mine! Of course, life with 4 boys is interesting to say the least, so in between all the green tips, news and products you will also find a little bit about our crazy life mixed in.

So take a look around. I hope you like what you see and visit me often. Have a question for me? Drop me an e-mail at marianna(at)greenmamaspad(dot)com.

Congratulations again on baby #4! I love your site! And Star Wars - yah - both my boys are crazy about it. You know there is a Star Wars training thing you can try to get your son in at Disney's Hollywood Studios? They choose boys from the audience. My nephew got to do it, and I want to get Keegan on stage.

@Erin - no way, I had no idea! I can't tell my husband that or else he will book a trip to Disney right away.

@Brittany - LOL, I have been bad about taking pictures. I'll try to get more up soon.

I was so happy to find your site. I too have a very resistant husband that believes that doing any "green" is to expensive and he wants nothing to do with it. I do it because I have three beautiful daughter that are coming up with alot of skin allergies because of the chemicals that are in products. I am switching to green so they can live without skin problems as well as teaching them to be better to our earth. Thanks again for the site I don't feel like such a lone ranger anymore

Came across your site in someone else's blogroll and feel like finally! Someone who understands me! I've been struggling through going green for some time, think I'm doing good and then see something that isn't so good. Kinda like I'm reading in your blog. :) Just starting my own green blog called Green & Frugal Mama. I'd love for you to check it out! Any tips?

I'm definitely subscribing to your blog. Thanks!
