| about
us I know my story will sound cliché, but the idea behind “Nonchalant Mom” is anything but commonplace. When we
had our son Sander in 2002 and we decided it was time
to move so we packed up and moved ourselves from
Manhattan to Rhode Island. I found myself with a lot
of energy, 20 years experience in the fashion industry
behind me, and no one with whom to share my love for
natural living to raise my son. I also found it hard
to network and get information on raising my son as
naturally as possible. We still go all the way back to
New York just to see our pediatrician, Dr. Michel
Cohen, because his approach is laid back, and he let
us bring up Sander according to our own intuition
(although he laughed every time we told him that
Sander was still sleeping with us). Nonchalant Mom was born from a need to find great toys, clothes and information on natural parenting, all in one place. It wasn’t on the internet yet and I knew I could bring these ideals together, and make it FUN! I also wanted to meet other parents that enjoy these things, and create a community of “natural parents” so I don’t feel so alone. I know you are all out there, so lets get together! Thank you so much for visiting Nonchalant Mom and please come back to see what happens when we grow and change. Don’t forget to sign up for the mailing list and please give me any ideas on topics that you would like to hear about. I would eventually like to start a Q & A section so email any questions you may have and I will work on getting them answered from array of alternative doctors.
