Why 'Born on Earth'?

Where are you from? A basic question that never requires much thought. Yet when you reflect on it, we are all from precisely the same place – this magnificent planet we call Earth.

This is our home! Our home is something we care about, keep clean, and cherish. Our larger home - the Earth is really no different. That is what Born on Earth Moms is all about....we believe that all moms have a vital role to play in nurturing our home, our Earth. Just as we create happy homes in our houses, we can extend our impact out to help sustain a happy planet.

We (Jode and Jules) are two sun-kissed moms living abundant lives with our families in the California bounty. We are both profoundly inspired by our boisterous children and the nature that surrounds us – green valleys, blue oceans, giant redwoods, pristine valley oaks, wetlands, farmlands, vineyards, deserts, beaches. We are writing this blog to share our journey – as we evolve our lifestyles to become fully eco. And while we are learning to become highly skilled eco-moms, we are also embarking on an exciting experiment – the two eco-moms are becoming mompreneurs…building a totally sustainable, eco-chic, kids clothing line called (guess...) "Born on Earth".☺ So join us on our journey – of becoming eco-mommies and eco-mompreneurs. Welcome to Born on Earth!☺

Pumpkin Patch Outing

Getting into fall and Halloween, we have a new tradition of going to a real pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins. So a couple weekends ago, me, Z, "Vivi," and "Mr. Everest" headed out to the nearby hills to pick out some pumpkins at a very fun pumpkin patch. It was a gorgeous day and the crisp fall air was refreshing.

And later we headed on over to the apple orchard. These horses were the main event...This horse ate lots of apples and "Vivi" made a new friend. Animals are our friends.

Picking Blackberries

Home in Nature

Here are two little sprites enjoying the gigantic daisies that sprang up in our field last spring after a couple of rain storms. We are so blessed to have a large field for these little munchkins to run around in and frolic and play. They like to go get lost and hide in a big bunch of little trees where I can't see them from the house. Having this kind of freedom seems something of a rarity nowadays but it really should be an inherent rite for kids. Ah, the blessings of nature.
