An article by Amy C. Rippel in today´s Orange County (FL) Sentinel features local mothers who have started a local chapter of the Holistic Moms Network. Here´s a selection:
Tara Felicio-Duratz uses vinegar to clean her house and doesn´t use pesticides on her lawn.HowardTracy Neely makes her own baby food and eats only organics.
Sound bizarre? To some, it might. But for Felicio-Duratz and Neely, it´s all part of a healthy lifestyle. That´s why these women recently started a Central Florida chapter of a nationwide group called the Holistic Moms Network....
The local chapter is an offshoot of the national group that started in 2002 in New Jersey. Felicio-Duratz and Neely said they´re thrilled to start the group´s Orlando area chapter, the fifth in the state.
The meetings in the Orlando area are the first Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. at the University Unitarian Universalist Society, 11648 McCulloch Road, near the University of Central Florida. During the month, the group has scheduled play dates and moms´ nights out. They hope to start a home school co-op, Felicio-Duratz said....
