Green Child Magazine Winter 2015 | Page 7

from our publisher & editor Each year our Pregnancy & Birth issue brings thousands of new readers to our community. If this is your first time reading Green Child… welcome! We’re certain you’ll find something here that resonates with you, no matter where you are along the path to natural living. For many women, pregnancy is the springboard into a healthier lifestyle. Suddenly, you’re caring for someone in addition to yourself, and you become even more conscious of what you put on and in your body. It’s one of the first steps in a lifetime of loving and protecting this miraculous gift of life. And that’s why Green Child was created. Since 2010, we’ve been honored to serve as a parenting roadmap for families just like yours… sharing support and advice, and encouraging you to develop your “mama’s sixth sense” and always trust your instincts. Along the way, we’ve evolved into an active community of more than 100,000 members. We’d love to take this opportunity to show you around our community. Learn more about Green Child Magazine.

One last thing – don’t ever feel like you’re not “green” enough to be here. We truly believe sustainable living and natural parenting is a worthy pursuit, but we live in the real world. Some days there will be a neon green birthday cupcake, a Made in China cheap plastic toy, or a fast food burrito… and guess what? On those crazy days, we’ll choose sanity and simplicity over green guilt in a heartbeat. -Amity 7
