The Semi-Crunchy-Conservative

It's probably about time I break away from the safety of Instagram, and actually post something of a little more substance.

I wasn't always this way...Oh baby, I was born this way... I didn't used to obsess over organic food, chemical free living, and nap schedules...I once was a fun girl. A girl who drank too many captains and diet (TALL with Lime!), danced on tables, and ate Andy Capp Hot Fries while walking home from the liquor store at 2 am while walking the dog.

Motherhood has changed me. Well...not just motherhood, let me explain. I made the change when I was pregnant with Big. I read everything I could... I showered obsessively the second I got home from work (I mean...c'mon...2nd graders are disgusting!), and calculated what vitamins and minerals big got each day from his food. (I may or may not have set out food for an entire week for him to make sure he was getting everything he needed- yeah, that sounds bad. I know...problems). I questioned doctors, but I listened... I mean, they're doctors. They went to medical school for shits sake. Blind faith.

Then. I had little.

Oh, my little. His troubled first year. I'll get into that in another post...But my boy was troubled. I put that blind faith into the doctors, but this time...No one had answers. No one at all. And then it began. It became my life's mission to help my sweet boy. I obsessively researched. All of my waking (non taking care of babies) hours... All the hours I held my sick boy. Sat in doctor's offices. Sat in hospital waiting rooms. And so become my journey. My love of all things natural. My desire to keep all things away from my children that would hurt them. Please let me tell you what I've learned...the hard way..the easy way...and every way in between!
