Oh, the action around here!
Are you a home educator that uses Twitter for that much needed adult conversation during the day? LOL! Join us for homeschooling conversation :)
Moms who want to share ideas and recipes based on the studies of Dr. Weston A. Price. Talk about raw milk, organics, fermented foods, kombucha, coconut oil. Share recipes similar to those of Sally Fallon's "Nourishing Traditions."
Hurray! So glad you are doing this...we are mostly gluten-free here in our home and it's often a challenge. I can't wait to learn more about your books for kids.

- A little about yourself...
- I am passionate about helping the next generation of girls experience a healthy, nourishing, delicious relationship with food, eating and their bodies. I believe in the importance of the mom-daughter relationship (and the collective strength of moms) as a powerful vehicle in creating these changes for our daughters. I am working on my first book on this topic.
I'm also a mom of two kids (8 year old boy, and 6 year old girl), a wife, a lover of dogs (and a dog "mother" to Bacchus).

My Rant About The Media
Did you read the article in the New York times several months ago, “What’s Eating Our Kids? Fears About ‘Bad’ Foods”?
My first thought was, “Oh my gosh, am I creating an eating disorder in my children because I am feeding them – and teaching them about – healthy foods?” And then it hit me: “PLEEEEAAASE…give me a break, media. Don’t you get it? YOU are making us crazy!”
On the one hand, the media “feeds” us images upon images of the way girls and women (and boys and men) are “supposed to” look.… Continue

- Welcome to our Nourishing Moms group :)
So you homeschool your two? I homeschooled my first 4, but unschool my youngest.
Blessings!

- Thank you, Karen, that sounds WONDERFUL!
Best thing for me today, so far, has been a fax with good news I was hoping for.
I invite you, should you be so inclined, to read my blog on why I ask the 'best question'
and value it so highly in my everyday life - at www.myspace.com/annduncan
I look forward to your thoughts on the Nourishing Moms group (speaking of baby steps,
I have a wee website on a super simple step people can take to improve health -
www.SoupMagic.com) and look forward to connecting with you more, too!
Blessings...

- Welcome to our Mom Cooks Gluten Free group, Karen. I also invite you to our Nourishing Moms group, this way of eating has revolutionized our family health, and just happens to be mostly gluten free. I feel strongly about promoting REAL food, not merely leaving out gluten. So often see GF folk chowing down on non-real food and know that is not supporting their overall health. Ok, now I'm back off my soap-box :)
I like your blog name and appreciate your blogs. I always pack real food along when I travel, even when just going out on errands, so we we don't get stuck hungry without healthy options. And am big on 'baby steps'!
Blessings...
