From One Mom to Another,

      I have been blessed with three children, two stepchildren and seven grandchildren.  With a background as a personal chef and interior designer, I enjoy nothing more than creating, planning and giving a great party - Christmas Open Houses, neighborhood pig roasts, wedding rehearsal dinners, baby showers and countless birthday parties. 

     I enjoyed the bounty of a rural life in the 70s and 80s, taking for granted home grown fruit and vegetables, freshly laid eggs and fresh, unpasteurized milk.  I baked bread, canned preserves and froze the produce from my garden.   Composting and recycling was a natural way of life.

     Today more than ever, we all need to be aware of the footprint we leave behind.  Even the samllest changes we make can have a positive impact on our planet.  It occurred to me that there was an opportunity to improve our approach to giving children's birthday parties in such a way to make them more eco-friendly.  Less paper, less plastic, more use of natural materials, more repurposing of party supplies...this could be a change in the right direction!    

     I hope someday to leave the birthday supply business greener than when I entered it.  Check us out and think about what you can do to give a greener party! 

    I'm also working on a links page with some green sites of interest to Moms.  If you have any to share, please let me know.  I'll be glad to post them.

     I look forward to helping you create a greener celebration and providing a resource for green entertaining in your home.  We can make a difference, one mom and one party at a time!  Thanks for visiting and come back often!
