This, first of days

So, today I decided to create a blog so that I, and my children can look back at our lives, and glean from them things that are edifying. Things that will help us grow, learn, and inspire along our lives' journey.

I have been an advocate of health since 1995. My passion has evolved and grown these past 10 years to become something solid. Something to which I have gained much knowledge about.

I have learned to prepare foods from scratch. I have been involved with a local co-op in order to buy fresh, organic produce as well as raw dairy and grass-fed meats. I have learned to prepare gluten-free, dairy-free foods as well. One of my little ones has an allergy to gluten, and dairy. I have jumped on the raw food movement too. I loved Nourishing Traditions as equally as I loved Angela Stokes. You could say I am "All over the place with all things health!"

I have taken the many things I've researched and studied and rolled them up into this big plethora of information. It's stored in my brain, in case you wonder what I did with it. Oh yeah, I even jumped on the couponing bandwagon. Saved loads of money. But, in the process, I lost my sense of direction concerning health. And, now my family is suffering with nasty colds, rashes and weight gain. How could this happen to me? Me, who knows sooo much and has been practicing the principles of coconut oil/herbal/homeopathic/anthroposophic/organic/allergy-free/microwave-free/almost-bought-a-goat-phase/driving hours for raw milk/homeschooling SAHM of 4???? How indeed!! Ashamed is what I am.

So, this blog is me trying to right the wrongs I've done. Things that were wrong for my family, that is. I will try to be faithful and track my progress. However, I don't even own a working camera. I am broke. My hubby works too many hours. And my children are in school(I know, I can't believe it either). So, this will be a long process. A tedious process. But, I think I am up to it. God-willing. He desires good health for us, and good health I am seeking. I will just re-trace my steps.
