My passion for natural living

As I sat trying to decide what I should post first about natural wellness, I realized that the best place to start would be with a little about myself and my love for living a natural life. So here's a little glimpse of what my life has been like for over 10 years now. I grew up with a single mother of 4 children, always working and always looking for fast easy things to feed all of us. We ate a lot of crap because it was cheap, fast and easy. As soon as I could control and understand the food I was eating, I made huge changes! The more I learned about food, the more interested I became in fueling my body with the best I could. With good food came the desire to learn to heal my body with natural methods as opposed to modern medicine being my only source of curing ailments. That opened me up to a world of things, Ayurveda, acupuncture, massage, Chinese medicine, chiropractic care and many other great things.

After becoming pregnant with my first baby, I got very excited to learn about birthing naturally and of course, raising my children naturally. Its been a long road since then and I still have the same love and passion for taking care of myself and my family through an unprocessed, traditional diet and lots of natural remedies for the problems we have come across.

These days I am homeschooling 3 girls and staying focused on learning all I can about keeping our bodies happily in balance. Not only will I post plenty about the methods we have used in healing common problems we have come across, I will also post plenty of good hands on fun for the kids.

In our house the kitchen is always a mess, either from cooking a nutritious meal or a crazy craft/experiment we decided to try. However in everything we do, we try to keep our messy kitchen as "green" as possible so The Green Kitchen just seemed fitting :).
