I’ve been a mother for six years and a farmer for four over here near the Pacific Ocean. But before this move, I spent 36 years of growing up, going to school, and building my professional and personal networks in the Silicon Valley. Those roots are still strong, and I often yearn for those days when I was chic.
I get together with my girlfriends/moms on a monthly basis who are still living that lifestyle. This is important, not only because it’s critical girl time, but I also get the opportunity to dress hip, have lunch or a cocktail at the latest venue, and be “in the know”. If you’re having trouble understanding this scene, just watch one episode of Sex in the City.
Now that our organics seed starting kits have the seal of approval from Cool Mom Picks, I believe I’m entitled to be the Coolest Mom for at least the next six months. I mean, according to them, our kits allow every mom to be like the most modern First Lady since Jackie O. How? By starting an organic garden with their kids — “just like the Obama girls!”
Seriously, Cool Mom Picks has become my absolute favorite go-to spot to find hip ideas and gifts for my very cool mom buddies. Why? Well, its run by two very modern moms who understand what women like us want. And since they review green and organic choices, these ladies have become my soul sisters of the blogosphere.

I think I can speak for our whole monthly mom’s group when I say you’ve always been a cool mom Linda! We are all so proud of you for realizing your dream for the greater good and making it a reality! You go girl!
You deserve to be a “Coolest Mom” for at least 6 months! Love the organic kits – they are not only fun for kids, but also a great school fundraiser. Keep up the good work.
This is AWESOME!! The kits are such a great idea! Super fun for the kids and also very educational!
