Living naturally…

In the last year we have made a number of changes to our lifestyle. Many of the changes we have made are centered around living more sustainably and treading lightly on the earth. A great many changes have been made to our diet in the process. We eat primarily local foods or food we have grown ourselves. This means that much of our food is organic or very close to it. I have noticed an improvement in our collective health over the last year. We are sleeping better and find ourselves experiencing fewer colds and sickness. My children are calmer because they are no longer being pumped full of processed foods and chemicals. Aside from this living this way is empowering. We have figured out how to do so many things ourselves and no longer immediately turn to commercial fixes. If we need a cleaning chemical there is a recipe online to make at home. I have learned that there are tons of things you can make at home. We now know that if we need the best home remedy for acne we can find it online. Using online resources we have learned to make soap, cheese, preserve food, raise chickens, and garden. Over the last year we have learned that there is an amazing community of people out there willing to help you learn just about anything you want to about living independently in this world.
