you're invited! NYC book event

I am helping out with an amazing event on Wednesday night, and I would love to see you there!

On Wed., Oct 19, from 6-7:30 p.m. at Metro Minis, author Paige Wolf will be speaking and signing copies of her book Spit That Out: The Overly Informed Parent’s Guide to Raising Children in the Age of Environmental Guilt at this green mom gathering and celebration. Special guests Alysia Reiner and yours truly will be on hand to chat about green parenting dilemmas.

Enjoy sangria and special sweet treats provided by Chef Herbert of Desserts by Dana, winner of TLC’s Cake Boss:The Next Great Baker, and take home organic treats for kids from Happy Baby.

Please register for this free event online and on Facebook.

As a new mother, Paige Wolf has been committed to living an eco-friendly and healthy lifestyle. But with the flood of constantly changing information, it's become an increasingly difficult task. In addition to the age-old daunting task of raising happy, healthy babies, mothers are constantly bombarded with new and contradictory research concerning environmental toxins, long-term product effects, and the far-reaching impact of every product we purchase and decision we make.

Spit That Out! answers the questions posed by mothers on the verge of a “green mom nervous breakdown” and turns to experts to present facts, debunk myths, and help parents stay on a reasonable and responsible course without losing their minds. Whether they are cloth-diapering, holistic mamas or moms who still can't give up their designer duds, all modern mothers can relate to the desperation of wanting to do the best for their children — and feeling hopelessly overwhelmed in the process. Spit That Out! feeds an audience of mothers hungry for commiseration, direction, and relief.
