Welcome! I'm glad you stopped by. My name is Sylvia and I am
MaMammalia. Once a biologist, I'm now a full-time mom with a passion for conscious
parenting, sustainable living, and writing. I'm driven by the conviction that we
can improve our world by improving the way we care for ourselves, our children,
and our earth.
About this blog
"MaMammalia" is derived from the word my son
calls me, "Mama," and the scientific name for mammals, "Mammalia."
The name is a reminder that while I am a human mother, I am also a product of
evolution. As mammals, we are deeply
bonded to our offspring. In fact, there
is no stronger social bond than the maternal-offspring bond in mammals. As
sentient beings, we have tremendous control over how we manifest this bond. The
consequences of our choices - how we choose
to evolve - affect current and future generations.
With this in mind, I am on a quest to be mindful, informed, and holistic in the
way I live and parent. This blog is one of the ways I engage in this quest.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a super enlightened mom with all
the answers. I make plenty of
mistakes. Plenty. As did my predecessors (thanks for the baggage). Still, I'm committed to evolving as a person
and as a mother. I love to share my discoveries as I explore this wild terrain
of natural living and parenting. I hope you will join me and share your
discoveries as well!
