Mama is launching a new program to help schools create community gardens. If your school needs help getting a community garden started, contact Mama and she will be happy to help.

Each month Mama plants 1 tree for each of our Facebook fans. Help Mama protect the environment and become one of our Facebook Fans.

Mother Nature will thank you.

Have you ever seen an ad for broccoli on USA Today? Carrots on WSJ? A 30 second clip for Spinach on Nickelodian? Neither have I. We want to change that. We are looking for graphic designers who are interested in creating a viral veggie campaign with MamasHealth.

Give us a shout!

Mama and her team were very busy yesterday. We gave away 100 Fruit Trees, 200 vegetable plants, and 1000 reusable tote bags at the Pasadena Farmers Market. Mama and her team are very committed to promoting self-sustainability and combating hunger in Pasadena. If you missed the tree giveaway but want a reusable tote bag, make a pledge to stop using one-use bags and we will send you a MamasHealth.com Reusable Tote Bag.

Stay tuned for pictures and a short video!

Last month, some of the trees we planted were used to create a grove of trees in Limuru, Kenya.

We still need your help. Our goal is to plant 10,000 trees each month. Yep. That is a lot of trees, but imagine the impact you can have on the planet just by becoming a MamasHealth Fan.

Can’t give up your Pickup truck or SUV? Still haven’t replaced your light bulbs with eco-friendly ones? I know, change is hard. That is why I’m asking you to become a Fan. You can make a difference without making a major life changing action.

Become a fan now. It is easy, fast, and best of all FREE. As an added bonus, Mama will have special giveaways for her Facebook fans. We’ll give away gift cards, exercise equipment, and much more!

A few months ago, I sponsored “Vegas”, the little beagle and promised to help him find a new home. He hasn’t found his new home yet. Vegas was left by his previous owner when they moved. This pooch has typical Beagle behavior and walks with his nose firmly planted to the ground. Vegas would do well in a family with older children and probably would enjoy a canine companion. Come take a chance on Vegas! Vegas is eighteen months old and weighs thirty pounds.

If you are looking to add some puppy love to your family, please consider adopting a dog or a puppy from an animal shelter. Many animal shelters have purebred and ‘designer dogs’ who have been left by their owners (mostly because moving to an apartment that doesn’t allow dogs)

The American Red Cross:

• collects blood and organ tissues
• provides emergency assistance to families who lose their homes via unexpected crises (fires, floods, earthquake)
• provides CPR and First Aid training to anyone who wants it (Mama received her CPR and First Aid Instructor training from the American Red Cross)
• links members of the U.S. Armed Forces with their families during a crisis
• provides travel assistance for two immediate family members to attend a memorial or funeral service for a service member killed on active duty in the combat zone and to travel to the bedside of a service member wounded in the combat zone (roundtrip airfare, lodging costs, and food and incidentals)

How is the American Red Cross able to provide so many free services?

The Red Cross is not a government agency; it relies on donations of time, money, and blood to do its work. When you donate blood to and American Red Cross, they divide it into different compartments (red blood cells, plasma, platelets, cryoprecipitate) and sell it blood to hospitals. The money they receive from the sales of blood is used to fund their emergency relief efforts. Currently only 3 out of every 100 people in America donate blood. An average of 92 cents of every dollar the Red Cross spends is invested in humanitarian services and programs.

If dogs can give blood, so can we.
