The beginning...

Well..I never thought I'd be one of those 'hippie' mothers. I mean let's be honest...V8 cars with lots of horsepower are more my thing. I would rather walk then be seen in a Prius. I have never really thought about organic foods all that much or what chemicals are used to make dish soap.

Then along comes my little monkey, Archer. As he will be our one and only, I started thinking about what I needed to do to make his life as good as possible. Seeing ill people all the time, especially one's with cancer, makes you start to contemplate why. Why are increasing numbers of people contracting diseases that are caused by DNA going haywire?

Why is cancer now the number one killer of dogs? 50 years ago it was rare to hear of a dog that died of cancer. They mostly died of old age. Why was this happening?

While there are lots of things I cannot control, the one's I can I decided were worth the extra effort.

SO, after reading an article in Parents magazine about the hazardous chemicals that are common in our everyday environment, I have embarked on a plan that goes beyond infant language lessons and breastfeeding.

I started doing research on the web....first topic was the soap we use to give the little bambino a bath with. That's the next post.
