GLiMs' Story

Greener Living Moms, or GLiMs, started because of a few us moms (Natalie, Elizabeth & Rachel) shared the vision of making changes to live greener lives.  Like many modern day moms, we share our lives on Facebook when we don't see each other in person, and it was there that we started sharing new things we were learning, new things we were doing or giving advice to moms who were just beginning to learn about going green (Elizabeth :-).  Other moms would soon join in the conversation and out of that a Facebook group, going by the same name of course, was formed.  From there, Natalie decided it would be a great idea to start a blog where we could do regular posts about different aspects of greener living and moms could stop by as little or as often as they'd like and read all of the different posts all in one easy spot.  So...here we are.

Now, why GLiMs you ask? When we first came up with Greener Living Moms, Natalie started playing around with the initials because she loves acronyms and G(reener)Li(ving)M(om)s was formed.  Then, she decided to look up 'glim' and found it was perfect.  The definition of glim is a light or a lamp; an illumination from such a source, and so, it is our hope that in sharing our journey in greener living we will shed light or illuminate areas on living healthier by making changes to greener living with you.

We are in no way perfect 'green' moms, hence the greenER part.  Some of  us eat meat, some of us chemical cleaners, some of eat preservatives, some of us don't recycle.  You get the picture.   We are, however, conscious of the choices that we make and are continually striving to make better choices for healthier living and we want to share those changes and choices with you to help you become aware of how to live a green live too.  We hope you enjoy our blog and visit often.

If there is something you would like us to blog on, check out our suggestions page and we will try.  If we don't know about a subject, we will research it.  We all love to research and learn more about greener living (some of us REALLY love to research :-). 

Oh and please remember, we are NOT doctors or professionals.  We are just simply loving moms who have chosen to make changes in our own lives and our families lives so that we may be healthier and to help sustain our planet. What we share here are our own experiences and stories to help each other in learning and making better better choices for ourselves. We also share information and tidbits that we may find along the way and they are to be only that...information. It is up to each mom to decide for herself what is best for her and her family.

Hope you enjoy our writings and join us GLiMs.

Blessings,

Natalie, Elizabeth and Rachel.
