Natural family living is more than just breastfeeding and babywearing – it’s green living that’s gentle on the earth and gentle on your family. In honor of Earth Day, this month NFO brings you a slew of ecologically minded articles on seeds, community-supported agriculture, hemp, gardening and more.

April is a big month for NFO in the most literal of terms, with more new content than ever. Be sure to look over the hefty list of new articles on our home page, or visit each channel individually and look for the articles flagged with our “new” graphic.

We’re bringing on new contributing writer and expert Mark Brandenburg this month with a bang: four – count ‘em, four! – new articles on raising daughters, preserving memories, responsibility and chores. Check out Mark’s wisdom on our Attachment Parenting channel.

This issue also marks the debut of NFO’s first channel editors to our staff. Tricia Ballad takes on The Bottom Line; Christine Climer is at the helm of the Your Family's Health channel; Susy Goins heads up NFO Bookshelf listings; and Patricia Newton is organizing Pregnancy, Birth & Fertility. Read more about them and other NFO contributors at our About NFO page.

Next month at NFO: It’s Better Sleep Month, and our own Elizabeth Pantley will be bringing us a collection of her unique insights on helping the whole family get a good night’s sleep. We’ll also offer a two-part feature examining guilt, parental duty and “being there” for your kids.

Enjoy our new issue, and revel in a beautiful spring.

Naturally,

Lisa Poisso

Being a parent is only natural, so why not parent more naturally?
Let NFO show you how.
"The media have become the mainstream culture in children's lives. Parents have become the alternative. Americans once expected parents to raise their children in accordance with the dominant cultural messages. Today they are expected to raise their children in opposition to it."
-- Ellen Goodman, Boston Globe columnist
