Green Grandma Hero Award

Since I've been caring for my 5 YO grandson while his mama is in the hospital caring for her newborn soon-to-be adopted daughter, I've gained a new respect for all you mommy bloggers out there. Even though I'm considered a mommy blogger, it's due to my target audience, rather than my personal status -- that of a grandma with no children at home.

Let me tell you... this trying to squeeze in blog posts (including research, etc.) is no easy task when you have trips to pre-school in the afternoon with only 1.5 hours in between (if you add in travel time), feeding a 5 YO, dishes, laundry, story time, bath time, cleaning, grocery shopping, etc., etc.

You guys rock!

So today, my Green Grandma Hero Award goes out to all the mommy bloggers out there who are managing to juggle it all.

You go, girls!

The face of a hungry child

Kids here in America are hungry. You may not see it. Your kids and their friends may be well-fed. But the truth is: kids here in America are hungry. 

Cher Coner, a single mom in Detroit, saw the problem. And then... she did something about it. It wasn't easy. The task seemed a bit daunting. Would she be able to pull it off? 

"That was my fear," states Ms Coner. "Could I do it?" 

Please take a few minutes to watch this video. Perhaps it will light a fire within you, spark an idea, or simply reignite embers long burning in your heart.

Cher Coner has earned 

a Green Grandma Hero Award! 

Go Cher!
