Hi, my name is Tiffany and I am a freelance writer and newspaper journalist from Ohio and a natural mom to three wonderful kids, seven and under. I started this blog over 2 years ago now.
On this blog you will find information about natural and green living as it relates to raising a family. You will find information about health challenges presented by the not so natural world around us and how we can heal without the latest miracle pharma drug. As our society progresses and evolves we get further away from the natural world and I believe this is to our own detriment and the detriment of our beloved planet. Part of that means exposing the toxics we find ourselves surrounded with and highlighting favorable alternatives. I also discuss political issues that threaten our access to natural foods and natural health. You will also find a great deal here about raising kids that are connected to nature in an intimate and valuable way as they are the next generation…and you will not protect what you do not know and love. My greatest goal is to raise healthy, happy kids that will pass on vibrant health, societal awareness, and a deep and abiding love of our planet to their own children. It starts with us…are you ready to change the world?
About the Blogger…
One of my foremost concerns is the state of the environment and making sure that my family and I live with a light ecological footprint. We try to maintain a sustainable home with green products that have minimal impact on Mother Earth. To that end I maintains several web sites and blogs that address environmental and political issues and help bring awareness to a group of people beyond my own immediate community. I enjoy all things related to natural living, and my interests include organic and raw foods, natural health, travel, yoga, water aerobics, hiking, and meeting like minded friends. In a previous life I was a marketing and advertising executive working in a major metropolitan city and the owner and president of a cloth diaper manufacturing and distribution company until my love all things green brought me to the Midwest and a more natural family life.
On a more personal note I was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer in 2006 at the age of 28. I am cancer free right now but the experience has taught me there there is nothing more important than living naturally and healthfully and it will always be my goal to stand as an example for other moms and dads who are not aware of the toxins that can be found in the average home and diet and why we MUST change that..for ourselves and for our precious children. Being diagnosed with cancer was one of the best things to ever happen to me because it changed me for the better in immeasurable ways.
I write for a variety of different web sites and companies. I have also been interviewed by several other bloggers and a few radio shows. My work has appeared in a few books too. You may have seen my contributions and/or mentions of my web sites in the following places:

Tiffany,
I enjoy your site and hope we can collaborate. I’m encouraging women to use their “purse power” to protect the planet by making many of the changes you promote. Let’s talk!!

I am one of the landowners in Logan and Chanpaign Counties that has a NO WIND TURBINES sign on my 80 acres. These are not your ecologically sound small personal wind turbines. These are 450 foot behemoths that dwarf the surrounding rural and residential countryside, are noisy, create strobe effect when the sun is behind them, and they want to place them on our glacial ridges which are the most highly erosive soils in the state. They are an ecological disaster waiting to happen and construction of these factories would require wide scale destruction of our road infrastructure and our forests. On the surface, which you have seen, they sound great. If you do the research you’ll have a sign in your yard too.

Great blog!
If the economics don’t work, recycling efforts won’t either.
As our little contribution to make this economics of recycling more appealing,http://LivePaths.com blogs about people and companies that make money selling recycled or reused items, provide green services or help us reduce our dependency on non renewable resources.
PS How can we trade links back to our blogs?

A little something to pass around for the Environment Blog Action Day, 10/15/7:
Being pro-environment has become all the rage with major corporations, but how real is their GREEN branding? Take a couple of minutes to watch the “Greed of Green” @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QDyZutvt_A
and go to http://www.DontFlushOurForests.com for more videos. See a very personal way most of us can make a difference with the added benefit of improved hygiene.

I am finding a lot of great information on your web site! Thank you. We are ditching the bpa plastic items in our house and trying to use healthier choices. Love the sippy cup review!
I’m thinking of homeschooling. I am finding very troubling news though. Have you investigated the U N Convention on Rights of the Child? Basically it gives children the some radical rights that are enforced primarily against the parents.
Would give government the right to tell you how to educate your children and most believe in the majority of cases that homeschooling would not be the recommendation. It frightens me to see government (world gov’t also) having so much control over how we educate, discipline and raise our children. I’d like to hear your thoughts on this.

Does anyone know of a natural way to store blankets and large comforters (in an attic- so cloth bins with no lid won’t work)? I’m not positive, but based on the strong plastic odor from those plastic storage bins I don’t think they are the safest way to store things. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
