Punky Moms was brought to life in April 2002 as a meeting place for alternative parents to find like-minded friends and neighbors, vent frustrations and swap anecdotes and beauty secrets. Most of all it provides a place where alternative parents can be themselves – not try to fit in some mold someone decided was the right way to parent. So just what is a “Punky Mom?” Jennifer and Paula, the boards owners feel that a Punky Mom is a lot of different things, no two Punkys are alike. While some Punky Moms have piercings and tattoos, others choose to cloth diaper, make their own baby food and practice attachment parenting and some do it all. Former co-owner Winter Rosebudd had this to say about what a Punky Mom is: “We are not just Punkers anymore, we are now parents, with the same passions that we always had to make living on this earth a better place. When it comes down to it, we are just open-minded moms, who love raising children…it’s simple, back to the basics parenting…without judgment. Everyone is welcome.” Although we still have a member strong forum that you can sign up for, our website is a host of daily articles and resources for your not so average mom (and dad).
