To cut down on spam I decided to approve all requests for membership. It's not hard to get approved just tell me a little about you and your family. I don't always "offically welcome" new members (I have 5 kids and am busy!) But please jump right in and feel welcome to the group and post!

I created this community so natural moms in the area had a way to link up, start playgroups, give each other support, friendship and share common interests.

This community should be utilized by mothers that have a hard time finding natural minded people like themselves. For example: I am a breast feeding, cloth diapering, home birthing (unassisted),homeschooling natural mom of 4.5 children ages 21 mons- 9yrs. I'm due with my third unassisted childbirth this October.

I encourage all types of moms to join but this community was intended for the less mainstream natural mothers of Missouri. Take a look at the interests list and see if you feel you want to join. We all don't have to agree on everything here, in fact diversity is grand! Just no fights here! Moms here should be open minded, health minded, educated, fun, creative, crafty and love nothing more than being a great mom!
