Me as a Mom

I have three kids all about 18 months apart and I have done different things for each child. I feel like I am learning more each day about healthy living and I strive to do what I can to keep my family healthy. I have had two drug free child births, I breastfeed, babywear, cosleep (in the beginning) but I also weaned my oldest too early, have done cry it out and utilize the swing and bouncy when necessary! I am learning as I go!!!
My oldest child is greatly affected by what he eats so that is really what started my "research" into healthier living. I am learning everyday about new things and trying to improve my family's lifestyle.
So far we avoid hydrogenated oils, use natural household cleaners, avoid plastic containers, eat organic when we can, order meat from a grass fed farm, avoid medicine, seek homeopathic remedies, limit dairy, high fructose corn syrup and artificial colors.
I am a stickler with our schedule for naps and bedtimes and I love organizing and creating systems in our home.
So I guess in a nutshell, I love being a mom, I love learning about keeping our kids healthy and I love talking about it, too:)
