Most of the things you will see here relate to my efforts to do well by my kids. If I wasn't responsible for the proper care and upbringing of three beautiful people (and a husband) I would certainly be relaxing more and taking a lot more shortcuts. Keeping everyone healthy has turned into the single most time-consuming part of being a mother. Nutrition as a form of preventative health care is high on every mother's priority list. Due to the changing relationship between people and their natural environments, food production, delivery and storage has had to change.
