I love a good guest post! Since I live on the coast, this one is interesting. My gardener at our rental property uses a fish emulsion as a natural, non-toxic fertilizer, and that lawn is chemical-free and SWEET! (Application days can be a bit stinky, but it goes away.) So I can imagine seaweed does a fine job as well.

Fresh Seaweed as Fertilizer:
Did you know seaweed isn’t just a healthy wrap for sushi but also makes good fertilizer? Whether for the garden or indoor greenhouse, it provides great nourishment for plants year round.
Its rich nutrients enhance soil composition ensuring healthy decay of organic matter, strengthening of roots and plant limbs, and boosts immunity against disease.

I’ve had quite a few companies reaching out to me lately to try and review a product on Live Green Mom. More often than not, I would rather just give the product away to a reader. Most companies are amenable to that, so… let’s give something away!
I love olive oil, use it for everything! I try and buy organic when I can, there is usually a good deal at Trader Joe’s on it or a decent coupon floating around. I like Carapelli organic olive oil, it has a smooth yet robust flavor that goes well with anything I pair it with.
When I am unable to post on a consistent basis for whatever reason, I welcome guest posts. Today’s post By Kelly Austin might seem like old news to more seasoned greenies, but there are plenty of you just starting on your eco-path. Here’s a few tips to get you started when it comes to shopping just a bit greener.
If you read this blog, you know how frustrated I get trying to get my kids to eat a better variety of healthy foods, especially vegetables. My kids really aren’t bad about junky food, they just have such a limited number of foods that they will allow to pass their lips, especially vegetables that are – gasp! – green. I thought you would enjoy a good giggle at this Xtranormal animated short I created to vent. If you haven’t seen the Mompetition videos on YouTube, then you are in for a treat, check those out as well.
Without further ado…
I’d like you to meet Alyssa, a midwife at the Dancing Rabbit EcoVillage in Missouri. She and her family, as well as all the members of the community there, lead a life truly dedicated to doing more with less, making do with what they have, and enjoying the process of passing on their love of a simpler life to the next generation.

A Mother, Midwife and Community member at
Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage
I am a mother, a midwife and a community member at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage. Actually, maybe I am a community member, a mother and and then midwife. Whatever the order, at any given time my life is certainly rich and full. I feel fortunate to have chosen a lifestyle that allows me to work, play and parent in a more sustainable way.
