GREEN TEAM

A volunteer office committee dedicated to reducing the environmental impact of a company's employees. Green teams implement programs to purchase reusable dishes (vs disposable), coordinate e-waste recycling programs, organize creek clean-ups, advocate the "bottle pledge", etc. Green teams are often funded by small overhead budgets which fund lunches for committee members, the purchase of dishes, etc.

Hey, did you hear that the Green Team bought reusable dishes so that our office lunches don't fill up a small landfill every week!?

bonus mom

A Bonus Mom is a woman who helps her boyfriend or husband co-parent his children from another mama. Bonus Moms wipe butts, read bedtime stories, pull splinters out of tiny fingers, cook, go to Little League games, endure minigolf, craft, and do all the other things that birth moms do during their time with the kids. Generally bonus moms have a cordial relationship with the birth mom and joins in at birthday parties and big events. Bonus moms and the corresponding birth moms approach co-parenting from the belief that a kids can't have too many people who love them in their lives.

"I feel fortunate that my ex chose someone who has welcomed my kids into her life. I feel relief that my kids want to spend time with her. I feel lucky that there is another person who loves my kids and wants to be a part of their lives everyday, and especially, on Mother’s Day. Because there could never be too many people loving my kids. Bonus mom. How lucky. For all of us." (via motherinchief)
