Welcome!

Hello! I’m glad you’ve stopped by. It’s been on my heart to create this blog for awhile now. And the time is finally right!

Allow me to introduce myself and my family.

There's me...wife, mom, writer, and nutrition junkie.
There's a husband...kayak-loving, book-reading, and Yankee fan
And FOUR kids. Oh, and 2 birds.

It makes for a busy life. But it's a good one.

So why the blog?

I was raised on good, wholesome food. Fruit. Vegetables. Farm fresh milk. As an infant, my mom met with other new moms to bake for the week. Very early 70’s Hippie. I was healthy and happy.

But I grew up. Times changed. Food changed.

Seriously.

By the time I was married, the entire way food was grown in America had changed. What we sprayed on produce had changed. What we added to food had changed.

While I tried to provide wholesome, delicious food for my own young family, the ingredients weren’t the same. And my knowledge was limited.

And we became sick.

Our family of six now has multiple health issues…heart conditions, neurological conditions, and food allergies.

And the thing is…more and more families are like us.

I’ve spent the past few years reading everything I can get my hands on about nutrition and vaccinations and pharmaceutical medicines. Everything.

I don’t know what is causing the rise of childhood diseases, like ADHD and autism or the increase in cancer cases. But clearly something is. And personally, I think what we eat simply has to affect how our body performs, heals, and functions.

So, our family (read my husband and I) have decided to journey into the land of natural living. What does it mean? Where will it lead?

We’re not entirely sure.

But we’re out on a limb.

Join us as I chronicle what we eat, what supplements we try, and what happens with our health. I'll share what works, what doesn't, and hopefully...how we're healing.

Thanks for joining us!
