Who I am as a Mother?

I have 2 daughters 13.5 mos apart and very quite possibly have a 3rd one day : )
I'm a natural birthing, breastfeeding, cosleeping (1st 6 months), babywearing, CIO in moderation, babyledweaning, organic food, natural products, no harsh chemicals, little to no medicine, homeopathic remedies, and selective & delayed vaxing Mom!

But most importantly, I love my 2 sweet girls and my husband Chris more than anything in this world. I love to cuddle, hug, kiss, teach, care for, and be there for my girls every single day. Being a SAHM is my job. The house may be messy (way too often) and things are disorganized (all the time), but one thing I do take serious is loving my girls and guiding them to become wonderful people.

I love researching and making sure we are living a healthy life. I have many online "friends" that I've learned a great deal from and I've learned so much from Jill. Chris may give a quick "eye roll" at all my crazy ideas of an organic & natural lifestyle, but I'm very passionate about it.. especially for our girls. Why? I don't really know why..... Do I believe that pesticides, chemicals, vaccines, medicines, bad diets/foods, etc will make us sick, die of cancer, cause ADHD or autism etc etc? No, not necessarily, but that doesn't make me think that any of these things could possibly be GOOD for my sweet darlings. I just want to keep them pure and clean :). I guess that's why I research and do all of the things I do as a Mother. To be honest, I do not trust our government and our medical system in the US and don't believe that choices and suggestions they make are always "best" for us.

I am no perfect angel when it comes to being pure and clean...lol. As many of you know, I enjoy wine often and have occasional cigarettes at girls nights. Shame on me I know, but I guess we all have our vices. This is me and I'm not going to hide anything :) That's what blogging is all about!

Welcome and enjoy!!!!!
