As a mother I learned (the hard way) that when I allowed myself to get drained, I wasn’t very good at being patient, loving or remotely nurturing with my kids.

I’m a green diva and I’m supposed to be all about earth day, right? I love the concept and the general intent, but I’m not particularly in love with the commercialized and consumerized version of it. I would say mama earth needs our help, but the truth is, humans and the creatures we share the planet with are the ones who will suffer — extinction. Then please read a few of our past posts about ways to celebrate earth day and love our mama (earth).
