I dislike drama, people that create it, follow it, thrive on it. Always have, always will. I didn't care what was in my food, in my lotions and body products, or in my environment until we decided to get pregnant. Now I am an advocate for my children. I will lead by example and show them where real, whole foods come from, how to raise and grow it, as well as give healthy options. I am a firm believer in trusting my instincts as a parent, and my instincts tell me chemicals in the body of a 7 lb. baby or 30 pound toddler whether it be in water, syringe, food, environment is not a good thing. It can't be avoided completely, but I can eliminate as much as possible by our choices. CHOICES being key. I am allowed the choice of how much fluoride goes into our bodies. We would love to meet you for a drink if you're ever in our area-we have amazing breweries and wineries.
