The Team - Part 1
As I mentioned in our last post, over the next few weeks we are going to celebrate the launch of our blog by having some give-aways! We’ve got some fabulous gifts from our advertisers, including a gorgeous bracelet and choker set from Emilie Kaplun Designs, so stay tuned. We’ll also tell you more about what you can expect from More Than A Village. One of the main reasons we wanted to start blogging was to get your input on the site, so please join in the conversation and help shape the site.

Today we thought we’d start introducing our team. So, without further ado;

I’m Sarah and I’m a multi-tasker.  Actually, I may have a tendency to take on more than I can handle. I am currently (I mean right this second) writing my bio, making baby food, washing cloth diapers, sterilizing my breast pump after pumping 3 oz, listening to my husband, Darren, complain about Fantasy Football, tweeting and facebooking. Thankfully my 8-month-old son Parker is napping right now.

I am also a Social Work student completing my final practicum at Maple Ridge Family Education and Support Centre (YAY, I graduate in June!), an entrepreneur endeavoring to build a social networking site for parents, an amateur artist (this falls to the side way too often) and now a blogger.

I am dedicated to greening my life, building meaningful relationships and bettering myself and our world in any way I can. To me this means striving towards a more eco-friendly life style. I am usually pretty good with the recycling, and reusing part but I’m having a hard time reducing my consumption. I’m a bit of a closet shopaholic, shhh don’t tell my husband! It also means creating and/or participating in alternative ways of living and encouraging others to do the same. I firmly believe that we need to establish alternatives to truly make a change possible thus my desire to work on this project.

We recently moved to the suburbs of Vancouver BC from the city so that my husband would have a shorter commute to work and have more time to spend with the family. We are still adjusting to our new life in the ‘burbs. My husband and I enjoy the outdoors (walking, hiking, camping, etc.), traveling, reading, music and connecting with friends. We are currently adjusting to incorporating a baby into these activities. For some of our pastimes, that has been relatively easy and for others, like traveling, we are still pondering how to make it work.




Anyways, the diapers are ready to be hung to dry, the timer on the oven just went and Parker just woke up from his nap, so I’ve got to run. I’d love to hear from you, especially if you have any tips for me on greening my life, not spreading myself so thin or incorporating a baby into traveling. Share ¶ Comments
