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:

Hello! I think your site is great and I just wanted to let you know I blogrolled you. Keep up the good work.
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!!
Gee…is that *all* you do?! : ) Thanks for stopping by - I’m looking forward to catching up on your posts!
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.
How is the Google adsense program working for you?
Hi—Tiffany: Love the design of your blog and it’s layout. I’m gonna look into your designer, as i am looking for a more custom look for my vegetarian shoes blog. I am also gonna blogroll you and i found you through sk-rt. Keep up the good work.
Missy.
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?

Who did your logo? it’s so freaking awesome!
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.
loved your blog, every little effort goes a long way, thanks for sharing and have a fabulous new year
You’re on my blogroll, my friend! Thanks for all that you do to help others like me live with “a light ecological footprint”.
(And thanks for visiting my blog earlier - that was cool)
Heather’s last blog post..Crafty and eco-friendly
what wonderful useful info.. thanks soooo much for working hard and sharing it!!! Glad I found your natural parents log,.. I look forward to reading more!
Hi Tiffany, I am very happy finding this blog, its content is worthy, lets go green.

We have blogrolled you also, Moms today need as much healthful information as possible to make the difference for the future of our eco-system!
Happy Farming!
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.
Where can I get the melotone syrup. Have look everywhere on the web. thought I found it went order it and something different came up. Help me please
Tifffany! This is a tremendous resource. Thank you for providing simple WHOLE HEALTH information and options to moms everywhere. Way to go girl!
I am loving your site!! I recently became a vegetarian as part of my contribution to a healthier environment, and I am always looking for ways to “greenify” my family.
I’ve added you to my blogroll, and I look forward to reading more!
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.
Good luck in your homeschooling experience. I had to homeschool 1 of my 3 children for a few years when she suddenly began having severe migraine headaches. We got through it, though, and now she is headed off to college. I hope all goes well there.
I, too, am a cancer survivor and have Multiple Sclerosis. It seems we have a lot in common. Multiple challenges and creative solutions along with a healthy lifestyle can bring about better times.
Best of luck.
Hi! I came across your blog when doing research for work. I am an employee communication specialist and working on a program to educate employees about how important it is to be more green to save the environment. it is going to be a very big campaign and i found your website useful! Thanks. By the way, I am communicating this to 5,500 employees!!!
I love using natural products and homemade items. Your blog is awesome for being supportive of that. You go girl!

I would love for you to review my product!
My 2009 Weekly Planners are simple, stylish, functional and Green. They are made in San Francisco with soy based ink and recycled paper. It is almost new year and time to make that New Years resolution to stay organized.
I am the mother of two small boys and since becoming a mom, I have to write everything down to keep things in some semblance of order. I couldn’t find a cute and purse friendly planner, so I designed it myself.
You can check them out at http://www.sarahpinto.com
Also, a portion of proceeds from one of the planners goes to a very personal cause.
Retail: $25
Available: sarahpinto.com, Amazon, Etsy and select stores in San Francisco, Chicago and Dayton.
Thank you so much for sharing all of your information it is very useful .
You’re doing an incredible job writing on NatureMoms.
I’m happy that I can read your blog every day in the morning while I drink my tea.
Thanks.
Tiffany,
I have just completed reading your bio and felt compelled to write. I am the Director of Operations for ecostore USA. Your review of our Baby Care Product line was so delightful that I had to learn more about you. After reading about your health
struggles at such a young age I feel I can speak for my ecostore associates when I say that it is an honor to be reviewed by someone who truly gets it. We have to clean the mess out of our homes and make them safe for our children. Thank you so much for helping protect our families and best of luck to you and yours. Lyne Downing
Hi Tiffany! Great site and very easy on the eyes. I am a mom of 2 boys (ages 10 and 7) with autism. I have recently started a blog for parents of kids with autism, and a large amount of my content deals with living a green lifestyle. A safe, natural home can make a huge difference in the brain connections of kids with disorders like autism. I partner with Melaleuca health & wellness products so that people can try green products after visiting my site. I was hoping you and I could link to one another’s sites - what do you think? I am open to any sort of feedback you can offer! Thanks and Blessings to you!
Rene, The Autism Mom

Thank you for doing this. I can’t tell you how happy I am to have come upon your site!
Wow, love your site, just found it by searching on blogcatalog as I have just started my very first blog. I have really enjoyed reading your latest posts and look forward to reading more later…when my kids are fast asleep. Keep up the good work!

My biz partner and I are following our passion like you. Yes we have products for people to make better eco purchases BUT THE KEY IS TO make it easy for everyone to live a sustainable lifestyle. We try to research and gather helpful tips everyday for our site. One I like to use at home: ORGANIC FURNITURE POLISH - 1 cup of olive oil and the juice from 5 Lemons, can also be used for salad dressing at dinner time!! Sounds weird but works. Takes a thin layer to do a great job. Tiffany, we feel if just one less person buys a chemical based product by visiting our sites, whether they buy it or make it, Mother Nature is pleased! Any chance we can work with you towards this common goal, let us know. Keep up the great work! angie@karmafarmonline.com
Thanks for your timely messages about how through our everyday choices we are really poisoning ourselves. People are waking up but it takes work to get it right. Does anyone know of a place that gives you some insight on enacting change when dealing with school boards & the public school system. By the time I learn how my kid will be in college. Home schooling isn’t an option for us.
I love your blog Tiffany! There are so many good articles and information, I just can’t get enough.
Hi, I have recently discovered your site and I love it. The design and the content are excellent. I will be back many many times.
I have just started my own blog along similar lines (www.earthwiselifewise.com.au) which is aimed at the Australian market and I admire what you have achieved with your family. I also was a marketing profeesional in a previous life and I am now after 2 children turning my attention to good living, sustainability and orgnaic ways if living and spreading my thoughts to the commmunity. So thank you, you are an inspiration to me.
Wonderful news Peita! I added your blog to my blogroll.
