As a busy homeschooling mom, business owner, and mom of four little people, life can get crazy. I always teach “Progress! Not perfection. Stress will kill you before anything else will! Do the best you can and when you know better, do better.” Focus on whole foods, organic, and non-gmo as often as possible when preparing meals. Remember, PRACTICAL WHEN POSSIBLE.
We read A LOT at our house, so if you don’t like to, we did it for you. This journey can seam so overwhelming and confusing! I am here to support you and be a guide to cut through all the confusing and conflicting information and make things simple and step by step. I will meet you where you are and support you to get where you want to be.
Here are some fantastic resources that have helped guide me along the way:
