I am thinking of doing a green mom blog - questions?

So there are two really great websites in my city for mom's - like stuff to do etc.  (I live in Upstate NY, so it's not like LA or anything).

The other day I was looking for places that do organic berry picking, and it took me forever.  I came up with one place but the info on their site was vague and it is very isolated.  It got me thinking - should I do a blog for "green moms" in the area?

My thought was, have a page of links/lists of stuff like parks, eco-services related to family (cloth diapers, eco-maids, etc).  Then the actual blog posts would be everything from eco-events to eco-crafts, to a weekly post on how to go green.

Do you think this would be a decent idea?  I am not sure if I want the work of it, but it might be a nice resource for local moms, plus I would hopefully get input, like people suggesting where there is organic berry picking.

  • Yes  Absolutely.  I'm not a mom, but I'm always doing searches for local produce, berry picking, farm tours, etc, so it could definitely appeal to the childless crowd too.

  • so i don't post very often, but have been interested in living "greener" and happened to click on this board and saw your post, clicked on that and noticed that you are from the capital region, as am I. You'll have to let me know what are the two websites you use??  I typically use local newspapers/mags for any information on local stuff and often complain about the lack of internet communication and I think a blog would be a great idea.  I've seen a couple of blogs about local restaurants, but nothing with a "green" idea behind it.  It would definitely be something that I would check out.
  • I think it is a great idea. I have a bunch of green mom blogs in my blog roll if you want to check them out to get ideas. Just click on my blog then my profile (top right) and you can see the blogs I am following.
  • That absolutely sounds like a great idea!
