If I could, I would protect my children from all that could harm them in this world. It may sound insane but truthfully, I don't know a mother who wouldn't.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered that not only are most foods that are packaged for kids full of chemicals and toxins but even something as innocent as diaper wipes are poisoning my baby! I want to do something about this. I NEED to do something about this. I don't want them to be unhealthy, I want them to live to see great grandchildren if they can. Yet when I really get to it the list is so long and overwhelming. It consists of home cooked meals from scratch, expensive shower filters, cloth diapering, homemade cleaning supplies and a multitude of other things that don't seem possible in this single mothers already jam packed life.
I am determined to change the way my family lives. I can't control the pollution in the air they breathe but I can control my home. I can clean without chemicals, cook without processed foods and one by one handle everything that I am doing that is potentially making them unhealthy.
So this is my journey to a better life style. I WILL figure out how to do this and keep myself healthy and sane at the same time. I will research each subject, search out the best options and implement it in my life all while blogging about it the whole way.
I have no delusions of perfection and I know I have limitations. I am a single mom, my income is limited and both my children are very young. If I can do this, anyone can, and that is what I am hoping to prove.
