A Little Bit More About Me and What I Am About

I suppose I am starting this blog as an outlet. An outlet to share my passions, success, frustrations and just out right failures. It has been about two years now that I have slowly been realizing the importance of living a more natural lifestyle and getting back to the basics of what God has given us to sustain ourselves and not what man has deemed important for the sake of ease and profit. The more I read about how mass produced food and products are made and all of the potential harms, the more sickened I get. At the same time, it gives me more drive to continue down my path of holistic nutrition and health.

To be honest, sometimes it feels like the frustrations are endless. The cost of buying organic, the cost of buying whole foods, the time and effort of making homemade food, restaurants not having food up to your standard, and even the guilt of occasionally getting off track because of hustle and bustle of life or because of budget needs. Luckily for me I have an amazing man who supports my decisions, even if he doesn't realize their importance. He trusts my judgement to do what's best for us and our current little family. I also have an amazing support system with a few friends, and family members (when I speak of my family I include my family and Ryan's family).

I am going to try to record my path of slowly but surely creating a more natural lifestyle with the honesty of our struggles. We are two busy adults on a budget who are just trying to do the best we can. My dream is to someday live somewhere in countryside and be almost completely self sustainable, living off of and appreciating what we have been blessed with... let's see where life takes us!
