The main reason I share information is to help others become educated on these topics. My parenting has done a 180 from my first child to my fifth. I was about as mainstream as it gets with my first and now I am about as crunchy as it gets with my fifth. I try to operate under the motto of "When you know better you do better" Maya Angelou. The information I post and choices I make I feel are better than the alternative. It doesn't mean I think I am a better person. I believe most parents make choices for their children out of love but sometimes make choices without being fully informed on a subject. Most of the information listed here are links to articles and/or sites that I feel are good sources of information. For books on these subjects please see my page of book suggestions.
