IT August Mom: Jadah Sellner of FamilySponge.com

Blogging has introduced me to so many new amazing people! Social media definitely has the power of bringing people together. People that I probably wouldn’t have met otherwise.  Jadah Sellner is one of those amazing gals and she’s definitely an IT Mom in my book. She’s family focused, positive and has an awesome smile! Meet Jadah:

Jadah and her beautiful family.

Jadah Sellner is an advocate for parent education, child development and positive parenting techniques. She is a recently certified Love and Logic facilitator for the Early Years (birth through six years). As a child and health educator, Jadah coaches families to make immediate and profound changes in their lives and their childrens’ lives to reach optimal levels of love, respect and healthy communication. She tries super hard to make this happen with her own daughter Zoe who is strong-willed, full of energy and creativity, and a whole lot of fun.

Before Jadah started Family Sponge, she was living on Kauai running a creative play and learning center for children under five as the owner and lead teacher for a Montessori-inspired toddler program. Check out Jadah’s Top 12 List for Parents with Preschoolers here (http://familysponge.com/shop/my-top-12-list-for-parents-with-preschoolers/). Jadah likes to take baby steps towards living a simple life with true and meaningful connections with her family and friends. She does this through eliminating processed foods one box at a time, drinking green smoothies everyday, limiting tv and giving her daughter undivided attention even on the busiest days.

Jadah hopes to inspire other families with her reflections on family life and the issues the Family Sponge community cares and talks about:

– positive parenting techniques
– healthy eating and active living
– raising compassionate and loving children
– encouraging creativity and the arts in their kids
– ideas on unplugging and connecting with family
– recycling, thrifting, conscious spending and giving
– DIY art projects and creative play ideas for children
– creative and budget-friendly home design and travel
– personal growth, pursuing passions and achieving balance
