Changing slowly.

For the past six months or so I have been on a mission to simplify mine and my families life and strive to attain a healthier family. My main task in simplifying has been decluttering - still have tons of junk, but less than we use to. To become healthier, I have been doing a lot of research and reading, one book imparticular has been Nourishing Traditions. As we run out of something, we are examining whether there is a better/healthier alternative. First we started using Whole Organic Cane Sugar, instead of white sugar, brown sugar or any other sweetener. We have also switched from using antiperspirant deodorant to using Burt's Bees Herbal Deodorant.

Although these changes are coming along slowly, I believe it is for the best. We are consciously making the decisions after a lot of research, guidance, thought and prayer. Making the changes slowly will hopefully inhibit the burnout factor. You all know what I am talking about...you jump into something full-force, it sounds neat, it is exciting and then you burn out. I am trying to avoid that :)
