We started our quest to live a healthy lifestyle a long time ago. We have been researching health since 1999! It all started when our second child was diagnosed with Failure to Thrive. She just stopped growing after her three month “well baby” visit. Since then we have discovered so many things that are unhealthy and we have gone from your typical American family to a total counter-cultural family. We have our babies at home, we breastfeed, we visit alternative doctors and use alternative natural remedies, we eat an organic, whole foods diet, we only have non-toxic cleaning and personal products in our home, we unschool, we don’t watch television, we just welcomed our sixth child in October 2008 and we are planning to build ourselves an earth-friendly home in the future. Most people consider us weird, but we prefer the term unique and informed. How did we come to all of this? Well, lets say we did a lot of research and trial and error. Along the way we have learned lots of interesting things. We have discovered that things that you may think are healthy are not and vice versa. We have come across some great products that we have been using for years and some others that are not so great. We have some great resources we would like to share with you on your journey to a healthier lifestyle. To see how our journey progresses through the years start with our first post on www.amyandsimonblog.com and continue to the next and so on. To see how we came to or feel about certain things do a search for what you are looking for there. Remember this is a work in process, so we may have not gotten to your topic of interest. If not, please email us and ask. Thanks for your interest in us!! Have a great day!
