Hello. :) I’m Amy, also known around the internets as amygeekgrl. Welcome to my groovy green blog party, part of the Ultimate Blog Party hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom! I’m so glad you stopped by. :) Come in, have a seat and let me offer you something to eat.
Can I tempt you with some homemade granola or perhaps an oat-nut scone topped with strawberry jam or maybe you’re in the mood for a Grilled Panini with Provolone and Basil or a brownie baked with love? I have a fair bit to choose from here, as I enjoy cooking and baking a great deal. :) I just wish I had more time to do more of both.
Now that you’ve got something to munch on, let me tell you a little bit about myself. First and foremost, I’m a mom. I stay at home with my two amazing children – Ava (3 3/4 years old) and Julian (15 months). My husband Jody and I try to raise them with the philosophy of attachment parenting in mind, though we really just follow our instincts and do what feels right for our family.
I have a lot of passions that I like to write about on my blog. Some of them include home birth (my son was a footling breech and born at home), breastfeeding (I’ve shared my experiences of nursing while pregnant and tandem nursing), and informed healthcare decisions (why we delay/selectively vaccinate). I also write a lot about the environment (picking up trash in our neighborhood, composting, and recycling) and do a weekly Green Tip of the Week column with suggestions to make life a bit more eco-friendly. Some would call me a hippie or granola or crunchy, hence my blog title. ;)
One of my favorite quotes is “You must be the change you wish to see in the world” by Gandhi. I try to live by that philosophy both on my blog and in my life.
I also write about maternal health as a contributing editor on BlogHer, write reviews for Green Mom Finds and will soon be joining the team of Blissfully Domestic as the Eco-Diva.
I like to do giveaways here at Crunchy Domestic Goddess. In the past I’ve given away t-shirts, natural cleaners, reusable bags, books, toys, and even a digital camera. I currently have a giveaway going on right now for a bottle of Shaklee Basic H2 natural cleaner. It’s good stuff! The deadline to enter is March 13. Hope you’ll check it out and enter to win!
In addition to my blog, I also have two online stores – Attached At The Hip, featuring AP advocacy wear and more and home to the I make milk. What’s your superpower? shirt, and Cute As A Bug, featuring cute and original designs for babies, kids and adults. I enjoy photography (and love taking part in Best Shot Monday), reading, and hiking.
Ya know, this is my kind of party, very environmentally friendly – no paper or plastic waste and little carbon emissions! :) I hope you enjoyed your visit and will come back again.
Please feel free to sign up for my RSS feed or follow me on Twitter (amygeekgrl)! And, of course, be sure to leave me a comment so I can try to come check out your party too. :)
Now it’s time for the kids and I to get our party groove on, but feel free to visit the rest of the other party people linked up at 5 Minutes for Mom.
Edited to add: I’ve donated a prize – an I make milk. What’s your superpower? short-sleeved t-shirt – to the Ultimate Blog Party. It is prize #141 on the prize list.
There are so many great prizes to choose from in this year’s Ultimate Blog Party, but my top fvie choices are: Bead Dangle Photo Tile Necklace by Elemental Memories, Marketing for Entrepreneurs by Lis Garrett, Burt’s Bees Naturally Ageless skin care line by Geggie, Go BPA Free Sippy Sampler Kit by The Soft Landing and Rocking Horse by A Rocking Horse To Love. If my top five picks are already taken, then I’d also love any of the following (in order of preference) #11, 12, 15, 2, 3, 14, 32, 34, 37, 70, 72, 79, 87, and 5 or anything related to a toddler or preschooler. :)
Stumble it!

KC says:
Nice to meet you, Thanks for the party and the food. After having my 2nd child I got a computer and meet alot of mothers on line with a child born the same time my son was born. It was at that point that I was told I was an attachment parenting sort. up until then I had never heard of the term, but like you I just did what my instincts told me to do. So I guess my instincts think attach parenting is a Great thing :)
Stop on over at my blog my party is in swing.. Your invited and bring a friend or two the more the merrier..
Happy party week.

The panini sounds yummy! I have twins so I know all about tandem nursing. The nursed tandem until they were 18 months old. I love the “I Make Milk What’s Your Superpower?” t-shirt! The “superpower” aspect makes me feel a bit like Superman, who is my favorite superhero. I’ve never thought of myself as a superhero before.
Have fun partying this week!

You have me drooling! You are quite a busy lady. I’m trying to start tree hugging, one step at a time. I love the shirt that you are donating – the quote and the fact that it’s 3/4 sleeved! Which reminds me, I have to check and see if my prize has been added.

Cool greenie site. ;) Love the milk t-shirt. Too funny. We had a pick-up-trash day on our block that we lived on up in Arkansas (the Natural State) and it pooped the kids out. We homeschool, so we sure got a few strange looks as people drove by. Afterwards, we walked in to a McDonald’s and had a nice cold drink. The kids learned a valuable lesson about NOT throwing the trash out in the first place – because it is ugly and difficult to pick back up. Hopefully they won’t ever become litter-bugs. :)

Oh, now I am so hungry! I love the I Make Milk shirt. It reminds me of my sons school last year. They have a field day at the end of each year where the kids do fun stuff all day, all over the school. It is run by us parents and is so fun. Anyway, each year we get a new shirt and since this year the theme was ‘On The Farm’, our shirts said “Got Milk?” on the front and then Lyons Field Day on the back. Many of the women said they were embarassed to wear them and I just laughed. Do they think the other moms dont know they are able to make milk?? hehehe

Hi Amy,
MY best friend (since we were one) is named Amy – nice to meet you. I will certainly be back to spend some quality time here. You have a ton of info – I can always use some encouragement for continuing along the green path. I love the milk tee – I have successfully nursed 3 babies (currently nursing baby 3). It has been a fantastic experience for me (thank God) I know that is not always the case.
Have a great time partying! It is gonna take me quite a while to ‘see’ everyone.
Blessings,
Kim

I have not experience a tandem nursing, but I have experience butt breach. I was glad to be in a hospital because it was really painful. :)
Sounds like we share idea of parenting. We do what feels like and we’re on hand and available as often as needed. Strangely enough, my children are not clingy. I hold them a lot when they’re babies.

Lovin’ you green party! We are an attachment parenting family with 4 kiddos ranging from 2-12 years old, and one more due to be born the end of May.
I love the superpower t-shirt as I have nursed though pregnancies and tandem nursed. Started nursing in 1995 when dd was born and 12 1/2 years later Its just been one weaning sometime after the newer one was born and I have not stopped since the day I started (exhausting some days, but the best choice I made!). Our two year old seems to be almost done now … maybe I’ll get a month off before new baby, but then again maybe not
