I have recently read the book “The Art of baking with Natural Yeast,” by Caleb Warnock and Melissa Richardson. 10 years ago, I was asking myself “Why is milk, once one of the main staples of civilization, now condemned as “bad” by many medical professionals, including natural doctors who should know better? What has changed?” […]
Kristin Canty’s Farmageddon Now Available!
I watched Farmageddon: The Unseen War on American Family Farms at a pre-screening at the 2008 Raw Milk Symposium in Wisconsin. Farmageddon is a must see movie for anyone concerned about food sovereignty and our freedom to purchase food of our own choosing from the farmer of our own choice. I highly recommend that if […]

Here is the synopsis taken from Amazon.com: “Burzynski is the story of a medical doctor and Ph.D biochemist named Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski who won the largest and possibly the most convoluted and intriguing legal […]
Why I Chose A Natural Water Birth
So many people say, “That’s the craziest thing I have ever heard! You must be so brave.” Or “that is so irresponsible! What if something had happened to the baby?” Actually, I had wanted to have a natural birth for a long time. My sister had all of her children but her first in natural […]
Respect our Bodies
A critical part of having a happy family is a healthy respect for human life, for our bodies, and freedom from addiction and addictive behavior. Experimentation with drugs of any kind is NOT ok, and is not a normal part of being a teenager. Experimentation with these types of things does not have a good […]
Nurture Physically and Spiritually
We sit at the table for meal times. We do not eat TV dinners, and we rarely ever eat prepared, out of the box, or canned foods. I prepare healthy whole foods from scratch for most meals. I understand there are times that this can’t happen, but that is the exception rather than the norm. […]
Making a Case for Modesty
If you think that you can teach your kids to respect themselves and each others bodies, and also dress them in provocative and immodest clothing, even something as minor as a sleeveless top or bare midriff, just take a moment to think about the principle of graffiti and the broken windows that I mentioned earlier.

Marriage: More Than Paper
We nurture our MARRIAGE. We are not COHABITATING. If you think that this does not matter or that I am just saying this because I believe cohabitation is a sin, you should consider this: studies show that children do best in families where there are two biological parents who are married to each other. Children […]
Church Attendance and Marital Satisfaction
We go to church together as a family on Sundays. Note: I am not saying this to say my religion is better than yours, even though I am very partial to my own beliefs 😉 Putting all petty differences aside, and focusing on the greater good of all mankind, it is my very strong belief […]
