Welcome!

Hello! Thanks for checking out my blog!

I've started this blog because our wholesome living has become very important to me and our family. Not everyone shares our views - and with those who do some are stricter than others. This blog will hopefully connect to those looking to improve their well being by taking control of their household: taking control of their diet, their environment(aka home), their activities and much more!

Our Views:
We're not overly strict about many things. We're really just trying to make improvements as we seen shortfalls in what we consider priorities in our life. We started changing our diet almost a year ago when we became aware of shortfalls in the industry of food. I'm sure many of you have heard of Michael Pollan and his documentary Food Inc. (If you haven't seen it - you should! It's available on Netflix.) That's what initiated our change. I've learned alot since then and have tried to apply it as we could with the resources we have.

We're not super strict on organics - although we strive for those. We don't eat nearly as much meat - but we'll never been vegetarians. We're not overly *green* in anything, but I love nature and want to respect it. We're an average family that demands quality. But we also like convenience!

I hope you'll connect with this blog and I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas. I still feel like a beginner with many of these things.
