New urbanism is also about how we work, raise our children and live together as neighbors-whether we’re in a small rural community or the largest city. new urbanism, new urban, community, Congress of New Urbanism, green living Sharon McMillan Sharon McMillan newurbanite@gmail.com no no http://newurbanmom.com/community-stars-the-2008-top-ten-list/ http://newurbanmom.com/community-stars-the-2008-top-ten-list/#comments Mon, 01 Sep 2008 14:12:46 +0000 Newurbanmom http://newurbanmom.com/?p=597

In today’s podcast I have an interview with the book’s author Andrew Blechman. A former Los Angeles Times reporter, Andrew Blechman conducted the most in-depth research into the retirement community boom in America. These aren’t just small, benign communities dotting the landscape here and there…some will approach over 100,000 and they are big business for developers. One more thing…children are not allowed (not without special permission and a pass and they better not be there beyond 30 days over the course of the YEAR). Most importantly we have to ask what message will this leave for the youth of today and tomorrow? How will they feel to be excluded in this way and what will that mean for us as we grow old? Will they continue to support our pension and old age benefits system? This is a podcast for everyone to listen to and as Andrew points out, especially moms!

Christine Lowe Woolard decided that family meant more to her than her career. So she left her career to tend to her growing family and then ended up launching a successful skin products company – www.sheaproducts.info – at home while raising 3 children who are now all under the age of 6! During the show listeners are also reminded to enter July’s fabulous Scentsy give-away contest. For details click here. Don’t forget to view our archives for past programs.

Our guest this week is Chele Neisler of Moms Love Shopping and Chele’s Treasures. During the show, Chele tells us more about shopping locally and her experience in becoming a wise, frugal and conscious shopper.
