Holistic Moms Network Announces October Conference

Caldwell, NJ - Parenting is always challenging but trying to raise green and healthy kids can often feel overwhelming. That doesn't have to be the case says green lifestyle expert, TV personality, and author Sara Snow. In her new book, Sara Snow's Fresh Living, she lays out simple, practical steps that "will inspire changes in your life, just a few at a time, so that you are not overwhelmed by a need to change everything at once."

"Parents do not wake up one morning and radically alter their lifestyle to greener, more sustainable choices," says Holistic Moms Network Executive Director Nancy Massotto. "Rather, becoming a holistic parent is a journey that we take one step at time." Parents might start in the kitchen, seeking out organic foods, taking advantage of local farmers markets, or learning about fair trade products. The impact of each of these options not only hits home, but also affects our ecological footprint, according to Ms. Snow.

Whether you want to reduce the toxins on your food, in your home, or on the planet, you will find simple, practical ways to make Small Changes to Save a Big Planet in Sara Snow's Keynote presentation at the 2009 Natural Living Conference on Saturday, October 17 in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. The Conference will also feature parenting expert and author Naomi Aldort, Ph.D., presenting Babies Through Teens: Having a Child Who Behaves Well of Her Own Free Will, as well as Workshop Sessions on improving school lunch programs, plant-based diets for health, vaccination choice, and the power of positive affirmations.

Those in attendance will also enjoy a Holistic Living Exhibit Hall featuring the goods and services of businesses supporting natural living, displays from Holistic Moms Network Sponsors including Mothering Magazine and Organic Valley, book signings with the Keynote Speakers, a Silent Auction of green and healthy products and services to benefit the Holistic Moms Network, and a healthy lunch.

Member registration is $75 per person, $90 for non-members. Late registration, from September 1, 2009 through October 9, 2009 (space permitting), will be $85 for members, $100 for non-members.
