I have no idea how they found me (ah the power of the Internet), but the big U.S. parenting site iparenting.com emailed me earlier this summer and said they wanted to profile me for their Mom of the Month feature!Since previous picks included celebrity moms such as Keri Russell, Ricki Lake and Molly Shannon, I found it funny that they somehow decided upon me ( I live in Toronto, I’m in no way famous, ha!). It also felt odd because since most of my career has been spent as a reporter and editor, i’m usually on the other side of the notepad! But i was honoured to be selected and featured. It seems they chose me because of my philosophy on raising kids green, attempts to have our family live a more sustainable, eco-friendly lifestyle, and our decision to start our company, Kai Kids, to help us and other families make that easier.The article was recently published over at iparenting.com and it’s a lovely piece. The writer spent a long time on the phone with me asking lots of questions about how we live our life and about my tips for greening your family. When she heard that we often eat vegetarian meals and that my kids really like beans and chickpeas etc., she even asked for one of our family standby recipes, so you’ll also find a recipe for my kids’ favourite bean & cheese quesadillas!So check it out – September’s Mom of the Month! (if only they knew how my floors so desperately need to be washed, that the laundry is piling up, and that we had takeout for dinner last night!)
