1. Because I'm capable of making my own food....

3. Because it's cheaper...which means more money to do other things....
4. Because it makes me feel good....
5. Because it's more environmentally friendly.....

I most certainly won't be considered a medical expert in the big scheme of things. However, when it come to my kids I'd like to think I'm pretty tuned in. I have seen what the fumes from commercial cleaners, food preservatives ( MSG, nitrates), commercial food dyes and what I consider " fake " food has on them. Sudden mood changes, increased rages, rashes, swelling of the tongue, change in sleep patterns.....The reality is that they each are unique in how their prenatal exposure has effected their brain, muscle and nervous system. The one thing they have in common is that when "crap" goes in..... their bodies rebel !!! That's a huge motivation to keep improving how I do things around here.

7. Because I Love You and your health is the most important thing in this world !!!!
( Pickles, Chewy Ginger cookies & Chocolate Zucchini cake/muffins)
