Five Minutes for Going Green Debuts

Today marked the launch of Five Minutes for Going Green - a brand new sister site to Five Minutes for Mom. A whole host of green bloggers (including yours truly, who was honored to be included) were invited to become regular contributors (I'm in for once a month and my July post is up today).

When you have a moment, check out the other 5MFGG writers - some of them are daily reads for me, and some are pleasant new surprises. All of them are green moms working to care for their families and the earth while spinning a story or two. Many thanks to Arianne at To Think Is To Create, our new Managing Editor, for getting this off the ground. Check it out, folks, to see a daily stream of five-minute tips for greening your life, and check out the Green Team's personal sites below:

On Parenting Column

My writing is featured in the Washington Post On Parenting blog today! Go check it out (and notice that you, too, could be their next guest blogger). I wrote about how parenting changes your world view and disposing of old prescription drugs safely. You can see from the link that my title was Pharma Chameleon (smile) but it was edited to read The Ways Children Change You. Happy Tuesday!
