the mamas behind the site

urbanMamas.

work. play. laugh. ask. vent. share. grow. learn. connect.

urbanMamas.com was born in 2004 as a community of like-minded mamas, a place where Portland parents could share tips, advice, reviews, ideas, fun, challenges, and more.  urbanMamas has grown up over the years, and now uM represents the lifestyle of the mama that treads lightly on the earth, which often means there are many adventures in urban homesteading, preserving, gardening, accomplishing life on bike or alternate transit. 

Many coffee play-dates, w(h)ine nights and naked mama parties later, the original urbanMamas are still deeply invested in our community.  The co-foundresses have other full-time jobs and they each have brood of three kids.  Among their passions include running and enjoying the great outdoors.

uM now has other team members who help keep the (bike) wheels oiled and the podcast fresh. Click here to learn more.
