First of all I would like to say that I am all about love. I strive to love everyone. It doesn't always happen but I am trying and it is a daily process. I want every person who reads this to know that what I am saying, I am saying out of love and not condemnation or judgement. I will probably write about a lot of controversial topics so that is why I am saying all of that.
My mom actually gave me the idea of writing a blog and so I started one. I was talking with her and I really wanted to somehow share my heart on my passions in life.
One of my greatest passions in life is nutrition. Now let me just clarify myself first :). I am not a super skinny powerhouse who works out 24/7 and eats raw food haha. I am a mom and a wife and I know how hard it is to stay healthy, afford good food, find time to work out, and have a family at the same time. I struggle with all the same things that every other mom struggles with. I am a very real person. At least I really try to be. All that said..... I'll continue.
Growing up my mom was pretty good about teaching us to eat healthy. She wasn't one of those moms who would let there kids eat lucky charms for breakfast. She wasn't perfect of course but what mom is? She taught us to eat good and all that Jazz... One thing she was uneducated in was medicine. That is why I wanted to help educate other moms on this issue and others as well.
My mom, like most moms out there, grew up thinking that going to the doctor, getting vaccinated, taking medications, etc was normal. I grew up thinking that too. I thought that people who didn't go to the doctor and get vaccinated were crazy!!! I couldn't understand why they would risk getting all those "diseases". Well......little did I know. I was vaccinated from the day I was a little girl until I was 19. Had to get them for school, camp, missions trips....all that stuff. I always thought they would be preventing me from getting "diseases" but I never stopped tho think what they would be doing to my body. I was sick at least once every month until I was about 20!! I never knew why until a few years ago. Once my insurance stopped working I found myself unable to get vaccinated. Well, its been about 3 1/2 years since I've been vaccinated. Been to 4, 3rd world countries, and never once got a disease that these vaccines were supposed to fight, and I'm healthier than I've ever been!
My son, who is 1, was born in Costa Rica in our bathtub. My husband delivered him and we had NO medical help, no medicine, no monitors, no pain killers, no machines, and no vaccinations. All that said he is the the healthiest baby/toddler I have ever seen in my life! I wanted to provide my children with the healthy lifestyle I wish that my mom would have known about when she was raising my sister and I. Don't get me wrong....she is an amazing mom and she was just doing what she thought would be best for us, as all moms do!
That is just a little bit about our story and the lifestyle we pursue. I hope you all enjoyed it and are encouraged by it! If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them!!!
Thanks!!!
Katie
