9 years ago my hubby strolled into the space and revealed, “Oh by the method, I registered you a domain and began a blog site for you.” I informed him he lost 10 dollars since I was NOT going to blog site.
He likes to advise me of that now.
Mommypotamus didn ’ t start that day, however. Although it didn ’ t have a name, it began years prior to when I was bouncing from physician to physician, comprehending for responses about my health. It was with me in the appeal aisle as I had a hard time to discover some type of wonder makeup that would cover green, exuding areas and make me look “ regular. ” ( Sorry if you ’ re consuming lunch today)
It was ABSOLUTELY with me when my search led me to the location I least anticipated to discover recovery – my cooking area.
Genuine food – combined with homemade non-toxic personal care products and the assistance of a regional holistic specialist – offered me my life back, and I wished to yell what I ’d gained from the roofs.
Well, not roofs precisely … what I actually desired was to teach a regular monthly live cooking/DIY workshop, however my cooking area was so small I almost ran into myself while preparing supper.
So there I was, cooking up homemade deodorant, bone broth, and overly-fizzy bottles of water kefir like a mad researcher – a mad researcher with just one drawer in her cooking area, that is – when I chose that possibly I would attempt this blog site thing up until I had a larger cooking area to host workshops in. I did wind up teaching a couple of, however selected to stick to blogging since I learnt more about all of you and grew to like this online neighborhood.
And now here we are, 3,285 ish days later on. I’m quite sure my primary profession is laundry (after being a mommy), however my other one is that I get share all of my research study and dishes with you.
There are no words to explain the thankfulness I feel that you have actually selected to invest a few of your time with me, which is why I ’ m so thrilled to share some huge news …
My dear pal Katie of Health Mother and I have actually been unofficially collaborating for several years to veterinarian items, pore through research study, and test dishes. (Her kids are a few of my preferred taste testers!)
Previously this year, throughout among our long sauna discussions – which we sometimes record – we chose to make our informal collaboration … well, authorities. We ’ re combining websites, which implies that Mommypotamus is moving over to WellnessMama.com, where we ’ ll co-blog together.
Why the modification?
All of it boils down to neighborhood. Katie and I have actually been studying Blue Zones – parts of the world where neighborhoods experience amazing health and durability – for several years, and have actually typically joked that we wish to produce our own.
A minimum of I was joking in the start, up until I recognized I wasn ’ t, which I couldn ’ t do it alone.
The health neighborhood has actually embraced numerous elements of heaven Zone way of life – consuming genuine food, moving our bodies, handling tension – however it ’ s seldom gone over thatloneliness is worse for our health than smoking nearly a pack a day According to the Forbes post I simply connected to, “ This holds true whether the individual feels lonesome or not. ”-LRB- ***************).
When difficulties show up – and they provide for everybody – no quantity of healthy consuming or taking the “ ideal ” supplements can bring convenience and point of view like a friend.
Because Katie and I both have complete schedules – and I ’ m sure you do too – we need to be deliberate about producing neighborhood. Combining websites becomes part of that procedure for us, and despite the fact that the details will be various for you we hope that you ’ ll join us in searching for methods to deepen relationships.
Perhaps it ’ s Friday night suppers with a couple of other households, outdoor camping together a couple of times a year, a weekly/monthly mommy ’ s night out, yard film night, or a quarterly area block celebration. Perhaps it ’ s exercising with a friend rather of alone, or talking and making bulk meals together as soon as a month.
There are other factors for the collaboration, too
We get to share the load of handling the technical elements of running a site, and we can team up on larger jobs that would be excessive to handle otherwise.
Likewise, on an individual note, I seem like the name “ Mommypotamus ” doesn ’ t actually fit me any longer. It will constantly belong of me and I will constantly have a strong love for it, however I ’ ve likewise altered throughout the years and have actually been thinking about a name modification for some time.
It was in fact what was on my mind when I took the image listed below. I might feel that some type of improvement was coming so I took the image as a type of sign to myself. I had no concept how things would unfold, however I relied on the procedure and things exercised even much better than I ’d hoped.
So is this completion of Mommypotamus? Certainly not. As the saying goes, “ What the caterpillar views is completion, to the butterfly is simply the start. ”-LRB- ***************).
What will occur to my posts?
All of the posts I have actually composed in the previous couple of years will move over to Health Mother– you can discover them by going into the subject you are searching for in the search box. If Katie and I have actually both blogged about a specific topic and the posts are really comparable, we might integrate a few of those posts into a longer, more extensive post. If we do that the old link will result in the upgraded post so you will not lose it.
There are likewise a couple of older posts that will be reworded since brand-new research study is readily available and they require to be upgraded. A few of the visitor dishes will stagnate over since they were produced by the author solely for Mommypotamus. If a post you like does not move over and you do not understand it up until later on, connect to me and I can assist you get a copy of it.
Do not stress, we’ll remain linked!

Any recommendations for us?
I ’ ll still be around as constantly, prepared to respond to concerns on posts … they ’ ll simply be over at Health Mother after we complete combining the websites. (I ’ ll continue blogging here in the meantime.)
