About Adreanna Green

I'm a working mother and wife who strives to give the very best to my family. I like to spend quality time at the dinner table with my family without cell phones or gadgets but I admit I love referring to social media for new ideas and connect with friends. I believe in supporting small businesses, but am also aware of the fast-paced society we live in. My parenting goal is to teach my children to see the grace in their everyday lives while respecting cultural goodness outside of their backyard. I worry about the planet and all the chemicals in our food and I wish everyone was a little kinder. All in all, I'm a modern mother that whole-heartedly believes in slowing down to enjoy the journey, but also keeping up with the technologically-savvy world around us. I hope you join my family and me in our journey towards a more peaceful, sustainable every day.
