Mother's Day is just around the corner (May 11th, for the truly preoccupied). In our experience, if there's one thing a mom really wants, it's to spend the day with her kids. So we're thinking, what better way to celebrate than a beautiful, organic meal from an eco-eatery?
Raising a baby can amass copious amounts of belongings as they grow... and grow out of everything. This Sunday, in addition to appreciating your own mother, you may consider another's. Baby2Baby, a Los Angeles non-profit, provides essential baby gear and clothing to mothers affected by homelessness, domestic violence, poverty and drug abuse through a recycling program. Donating your gently used baby belongings will not only free up space, but will save resources and make someone's Mother's Day a little brighter. Love that!
The countdown to Mother's Day has begun. If you are as busy as I am (or just plain forgetful), you still haven't organized a gift! Luckily, you still have time to get your mom/important woman in your life a thoughtful gift. Not only are the gorgeous bouquets from Organic Style void of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, FedEx Next Day Service means they arrive in their freshest form and deliver nothing but the sentiment of love. Plus, ecofabulous readers get a 15% discount. The Lavendar Bath Spa Kit is a relaxing alternative or addition to flowers. My children are still making craft paper creations, but some day I hope to receive an eco-abundant gift from them! Click here to receive your ecofab discount.
We're coveting this collection of 48 greeting cards that join heartwarming (though not trite) messages with clean, modern graphics. Conceived to be Positively Green (hence, the name), the cards and envelopes are printed domestically on 100% post-consumer recycled paper with soy based inks supported by wind-powered electricity. Even the metal displays they ship out to retailers (with minimal packaging) are recycled. The back of each card also gives an eco-educational blurb and 10% of profits go to organizations working to save the planet. No matter the occasion, you'll find the card that says the perfect thing with Positively Green. Here's your chance to get in the good graces of your recipient and Mother Earth...and since mother's day is just around the corner, you might want to consider your mom as well.
