You do what other moms do..You search for other moms, beg them to befriend you, share their secrets to looking so good/feeding their families/dressing their children/finding the best of everything/blah blah.. After having my first babe I was traumatized. Trau.Ma.Tized. Like deer in the headlights. I did not have a clue what I was doing, and here was alone in a town that I lived in for years, but had never really "lived in" after years of travel and commuting for work. I knew no one and it was the coldest winter on record. So I did what I knew, I turned to my trusty friend the iMac and all those mamas out there in internet world. I wasn't very fashionable back then. I could barely put two sentences together, let alone a matching outfit but I found that I wasn't alone, and there were millions of other mamas out there who'd survived first babies and even went onto..second babies....
Nine months later...I was one of those mamas.
I still use my iMac to turn to other mamas for meal ideas, fashion ideas and loads of other info only now I've got my matching outfit on. Most of the time.
-I just adore Verdemama and you will too!
"I’ve learned a thing or two about livin’ la vida eco, but I’ve also learned that folks are green-fatigued out the wazoo and don’t want to be beaten about the head with all the eco-blahbity blah blah roaming the Interwebs. So I’ll take it easy on you, because I know how much we all dig on unsolicited advice and greener-than-thou proselytizing."-Verdemama
She's so pretty and nice, and eco-friendly. But not in that "if you use that paper towel I'm gonna knock you down" type way. There's also non "green" info like My top ten iphone camera apps, that are just fabulous if you are at all into taking photos with your iphone, a MUST read. She's also running a great give away right now that ends soon so give her a visit!
-Don't you love those mamas who swear "Oh, I only cook one meal at dinner and my kids eat it all". Load of crap and they aren't foolin' a soul. Unless that one meal rhymes with Baft bacaroni + bees.. Enter... Weelicious.
Hmm..there isn't a box of Baft bacaroni + bees in that kitchen. I also think she just might be perfect, but I'll let this one slide especially if she continues to provide such deelish recipes like Mac, cheese + chicken bites, pasta with corn + ricotta and pizza muffins?! Yes, we would sooo be friends in real life. A lovely, informational site you will be lost in for hours, so be sure to have your Blackberry aqua fresca handy before you sit down!
Eye candy for all you fashionista mamas from a mama currently residing in Zurich, born and raised in Cape Town, and (love this) "lived, partied + worked" in Hong Kong for 5 years before getting married. My kinda gal. Phenomenal taste, beautiful baby and lovely writing.
Total haute mamas, all of them!
