Mindful Momma
http://mindfulmomma.comHi! My name is Micaela and I’m a work-from-home Mom living in Minneapolis, MN with my husband and our two boys. I started this blog (way back in 2006!) as a way to help me make sense of all the confusing and sometimes scary information about green and healthy living that I was confronted with as a parent.

Yellow+Blue
http://www.ybwines.comWith the high cost of fossil fuel driving up the cost of shipping, we saw the price of good
imported wines rising out of range for the average buyer. In our search for a way to lower these costs for quality-conscious wine drinkers, we found a solution that is also great for the environment. Then we got a little “greener” by partnering with organic wineries that use only traditional, natural winemaking processes.
The result? Great tasting, certified organic wine that’s better for the planet and
available at a great price.
