The first time I met Rachel Lincoln Sarnoff was in 2010 at a wonderful eco-awareness event at Rolling Greens – deciphering what chemicals are going into our home, food, and clothing was something that concerned me greatly, and I was really impressed by the non-judgy way Rachael’s group shared information and super luxe “green” products. Y’all know how we moms are constantly being shamed for so many things that it’s hard to keep up. I think we all get it that less toxins = better, but sometimes it can be overwhelming and one feels like only scientist can translate the chemistry.

Over the years I’ve watched Rachel persevere with her message and I just love how she get things DONE! Publishers say no? Who cares? Rachel has worked on this book since her youngest child was born eight years ago, and I was able to celebrate the release with her and some other fabulous moms with missions last month at the Naturepedic store on Robertson. The evolution of the partnership between Mommy Greenest (Rachel) and Naturepedic was organic (pardon the pun), as Rachel and Barry Cik, founder of the American made organic mattress company both created their product out of care for their children and grandchildren. The event was chock full of friends supporting a better way to do things and sipping champagne in celebration with some of the best foraged nibbles I’ve tasted in ages from Mia of Transitional Gastronomy .

You can read the ebook here, or order the printed book directly from Rachel, too – but don’t wait – it’s a limited edition! A huge congratulations to Rachel on completing her mission and thanks to Naturepedic for helping her realize the vision. Now I just need to get a new mattress to lie on and read the book…
