CoAbode Gives Single Moms an Option

Parenting can be the most challenging and the most rewarding experience a woman has. Single parenting is even more challenging. Many mothers spend their days at work, only to return to an empty house, an endless list of chores, a dwindling bank account balance and no one to turn to for support.

Founded by a fellow single mother, CoAbode gives women the opportunity to seek out other single moms to share housing, as well as to support each other through the loneliness, fear, and exhaustion often experienced. To read success stories, do a search for other single moms, or just to find out more, visit www.co-abode.com.

The Green Home Store
Mothering has recently partnered with Greenhome.com, the most comprehensive marketplace on the Web for everything eco. Every time you buy a product from the environmental store on Mothering's website (located at http://mothering.greenhome.com/products), Green Home will share a portion of the revenue with us.

Green Home consistently comes up number one when searching on the Web for "green products" or "environmental products." Green Home thoroughly researches all the products sold on its website; every product it carries goes through a rigorous evaluation process ensuring each is as green as possible.

Just as Mothering works to help communities thrive by supporting natural family living, we also believe in supporting businesses that are transforming local economies, supporting our health, and protecting our environment.

By making a purchase at Mothering's Green Home store, you will be strengthening Mothering while also supporting a company that is changing the way the world does business. Buying green products for yourself and others passes along the message that the environment truly matters.
