The best for our kids

I had to share some great info for those of you who watch what your kids eat like we do for Konnor & Kara! We eat wholesome foods, veggies, and fruits, and don't offer a lot of sugary foods in our house...processed foods are rarely found here, too. We try to take a more natural approach...and organic when we can. "Mommy Meal Makeovers" is a FANTASTIC cookbook, website, and blog!! Google them and I think you'll be hooked! I have yet to find a recipe in their cookbook that we don't like! Highly recommended ;)

On another note, it will come to a great shock to many of you that I am considering homeschooling! I have been researching this for a little bit now and started networking with local people for support. Rob & I are just discouraged by the public school systems and what they have to offer. If you were to have asked me 6 months ago about homeschooling, I would have laughed it off. But the more we talk about it, the more I am considering it. I know my kids better than any teacher...I know what their strengths and weaknesses are, what their learning styles are, etc and feel that they are safer at home and can get a better education at home than anywhere else. But I have my fears! I am a social person and I'm building the confidence that I can do this. Rob is extremely supportive (heck, he was the one that asked me to consider it!) and I figured that I may homeschool Konnor for preschool and see how we do. That way it will give me confidence and experience to see if this is for us. So, while I haven't fully made up my mind, I'm leaning towards pursuing it!! I'll keep you posted on that journey!

Finally, I have this strong desire to write a book about my postpartum depression experience! It will be a bit therapeutic for me, but I'm hoping I can help someone else! I have already started it and I'm researching publishing companies...so we'll see where this takes me! I'm so excited b/c I love to write!! Not sure how long it'll take to write, but I'll keep you posted :P
