Living in this mess we call our life

Isn't it amazing how so much time can be spent cleaning just to have it destroyed again in five minutes by your children? I am trying so hard to change my way of thinking. I don't want my kids to grow up and think the only thing I did for them was clean the house. I just hope one of these days one of them will wake up and decide to help out without me having to coax it out of them.

living natural

I would have to say I have no friends that lead a "natural" lifestyle the way I do. I get called a tree hugger because we recycle, cloth diaper,buy natural, homeschool, nurse(child led weaning, of course), bed share, having a large family...the list goes on. I am so thankful for the endless resources on the internet. Groups on facebook and cafemom having been the saving grace for my sanity. Especially when family and friends have so many negative things to say about our lifestyle.
