About
Welcome to my blog! Having a child has really made me rethink our family life, how we live and the products we use.
By having this blog, I hope get people to think about what is in the products they use and how it affects their health. Hopefully it will encourage you to think about these things as well, and you may make a few changes in your life.
I also hope that companies will start being more responsible and at MINIMUM publish a full ingredient list (including those that may be created during processing) – right now, there is nothing that requires a company to do this. We have a right to know what we are putting in or on our bodies. My greatest hope is that the government will step in to protect its citizens from these hazardous chemicals. The EU has guidelines for such, and I would like the US to offer the same protection to its citizens.
I also have a few things on parenting. Of course, I am no expert, other than just being a mom, but find sharing ideas is a great way for parents to help each other. Your comments are welcome, because, as parents, we can certainly use all the help we can get when it comes to preventing tantrums, discipline and sparking creativity.
While not all topics will apply to all readers, I think most people will find topics that are relevant to them in their daily lives.
Thanks for reading and I hope you find some helpful information.

I highly recommend Healthy Times Premium Organic Baby Foods because not only are they USDA Organic but they are great for babies with allergies. There are no allergens or fillers in their foods. They are great!!

You have alot of good information here and I know it will be helpful to so many people. I just wanted to say for those moms in Alabama that are interested in natural living and attachment parenting that there are lots of us right here in Alabama (especially in and around B’ham). We have an awesome message board with so many moms who are dedicated to making their homes and families healthier. Come join us here: http://alabama-moms.com/

Hi there,
I came across your blog and thought you might be interested in knowing about the Holistic Moms Network (HMN)- a national non-profit connecting parents who are passionate about natural health and green living. Founded in 2002 by a handful of moms, today HMN has 120+ chapters across North America. HMN encourages families to parent from the heart, trust their instincts, make informed healthcare decisions, and live green. Members come together at monthly meetings in non-judgmental environments to learn from each other, give support, and share information. Meetings often feature guest speakers who are professionals in their field and explore a variety of interesting topics, from healthy eating to homeopathy. HMN’s newly released cookbook, Growing Healthy Families: Cooking With Holistic Moms, contains 300 recipes from HMN members and guest chefs. A special section features recipes for homemade baby food and formula, non-toxic cleaners, and herbal remedies. For more info, please visit http://www.holisticmoms.org, or call (877) HOL-MOMS. Thank you!
