Hearts all along the way…

Organic Lifestyle, Positive Parenting / By

  my son, the trail blazer We went up to Virginia to meet up with my parents and do a good deal of hiking in the Shenandoah National Park! It was fabulous! We packed in 4 different trails and the Luray Caverns too! We had a great time… and I felt surrounded by love. Lots of evidence of that too, along the way. I kept my eyes open and picked up a few little heart stones from each trail… they were easy to find. A few were too big to keep but I snapped some pics so that I could […]

Thoughts on Health… Toothpaste.

Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports, Positive Parenting / By

To use fluoride toothpaste or not… that is the question. Well, if that is the question, here is my answer… we don’t.   If you do a web search on fluoride, you’ll find a million and one articles ranging from rants on fluoride being rat poison to being responsible for causing sudden death in the dentist’s chair. Reading through those articles is almost enough to make me dismiss anti-fluoride claims all together and return to the *safety* of fluoride toothpaste. Almost.   Because after going through great pains to weed through the inflammatory and hyper-fear-based information out there on fluoride,

My Temper Tantrum

Positive Parenting / By

  Okay, I know all the blah blah blah. I know it’s healthy for children to grow up and find their own rhythm and pull away from their parents a little and yadda yadda yadda. I know the reason my daughter feels so comfortable finding her way and asking for space is because I have loved her deeply and thoroughly, and I know that giving her a solid ground is why she is able to fly. Beautiful… usually. But once in a while, I just want to throw a big ol’ temper tantrum and say it like it is: I

My Favorite Thing… about Charleston (right now!)

Positive Parenting / By

Most folks come visit Charleston because of the beautiful historic straw market area… a gorgeous waterfront open aired market that has it’s history in colonial roots. I admit we love it there too… amidst the historical landmarks and buildings and art galleries and pirate dungeon and horse drawn carriages and cobblestone streets… but I have a new favorite. And it has nothing to do with Historic Charleston at all… or anything at all to do with mankind. It has to do with what happened millions of years before man set foot on what is now known as Charleston… a snapshot

Kids Rule My World! And Everything They Taught Me, I’ve Put Into This Latest eCourse!

Positive Parenting / By

The pictures in today’s post were taken on New Years Eve, at Sullivan’s Island. We had a nice warm day for the last day of 2010… sunny and cool… perfect for rock climbing and beach walking! I love kids. Especially mine 🙂 They have changed my entire existence and I’m richer for it. It’s been such a steep learning curve for me… I’ve gone from being a professional physician and motivated by wanting to succeed in the world of medicine to being a homeschooling mother whose heart does backflips watching my children eat breakfast. I really didn’t feel particularly maternal

Winter Solstice (and a quick sewing tutorial)

Organic Lifestyle, Positive Parenting / By

Winter solstice this year was a great one… a full lunar eclipse (although I admit we slept right on through it in our house) on the eve of winter solstice… magic in the air for sure! We really enjoy winter solstice at our house… we have a few traditions that we repeat every year. One is stringing cereal onto thread and draping it across the bare branches of our trees for the wildlife to share… some apples too, hung on a thread. Our gift to the creatures that share our yard in the night, the longest night of the year.

Thoughts On Health… FAQ — Parenting Books

Organic Lifestyle, Positive Parenting / By

My second in my FAQ series, I’m going to continue with book recommendations. Last week I reviewed some great easy to read books that gently introduce an organic lifestyle overview to folks who are interested in learning more about living naturally. This week, I’d like to list some of the parenting books that have helped us develop our particular parenting path. Craig and I both feel like we are here to support our children in any way possible. We feel very much like equals… our parenting style is one of connection to our children… we do not want anything to
