Married and raising their young daughter in Comox Valley, British Columbia, Robin Rivers and Ken Henderson oversee the Our Big Earth website/blog, whose philosophy is “Get out. Give back. Grow the community.”
I know it seems a little odd to feature a site that focuses on a specific community but a wonderful friend is a contributing writer and she loves mommy blogs. In fact, she has recommended several I have featured on this site. Our Big Earth is not only a blog but also an online resource for Comox Valley; the site offers more than just a geographical resource. Yes, there are certain features that unfortunately a non-Comox Valley resident will not be able to appreciate; however, there are many little gems any parent will cherish. Delicious, healthy recipes. Creative, engaging crafts. Inspiring, green-e-ology initiatives.
The site takes a while to learn how to navigate and it can be a bit frustrating when you have to click on a link twice to get where you want to go; however, there are lots of wonderful little details and the content is abundant. Many local contributors with a variety of backgrounds write articles and blog on issues that are relevant to any parent wherever your homebase is, such as the green-e-ology blog on equitable eating and lowering your grocery bill.
I am always looking for ways to inspire my toddler during our outdoor adventures (rock collecting) and our art sessions (paint flinging) as well as yummy, healthy foods that a picky toddler and a vegetable-phobic husband will devour. Tomorrow is a new adventure for our family. Lots of great stuff to try.
