Hey, I’m Pam!

For many years, I was a corporate employee who spent more time in a cubicle than I did at home. When we started our family, I knew that it was time to make a radical change. I didn’t want our kids to grow up on fast food and TV dinners; I wanted them to know the cycles of nature and to help take care of their planet.

Even though we lived in the city, we made sustainable choices whenever we could. I started growing vegetables in our front and back yards, baking my own bread, and shopping at thrift stores. I wanted to be more self-sufficient: a creator, not a consumer.

After several years of trial and error, I created Brown Thumb Mama to share this journey and help you live a greener life. Some people think it’s weird, and that’s fine. This is a place for the rest of us.

You’re marching to the beat of a different drummer? Good. I am too.

Lets go change the world.
