Introduction	Mother of 14 month old Mr. B and wife to D. I love to research ways to make my family healthier, but the process has been filled with inadequate information or feeling overwhelmed by high expectations. So, now I am back to the basics. If everyone in the family is fed, well rested, and recently bathed, I count this as a day well done. I am making compromises along the way and finding simplified methods when possible. Read my posts and find a few new ideas to discover the compromises that will make your family healthy, happy, and well rounded because you can NOT do it all. Trust me here, I have tried (my kitchen floor is proof).
Interests	environmental issues, vegetarian cooking, baking sourdough, gardening, composting, recycling, mushroom hunting, breastfeeding, cloth diapering, nutrition, staying physically fit, hiking, camping, throwing clay, knitting, and unplugged lifestyle. When freetime permits I love traveling, snorkeling, reading, play dates, sewing, hosting dinner parties, and creating new recipes.
Favorite books	The Help, The Art of Racing in the Rain, The Jew and the Lotus, Little Women, Breaking Bread, Going with the Grain, The Princess Bride, Time for Bed by Mem Fox, The Book of Tea...a few all time favorites and a few recently read and enjoyed ones too.
