Welcome to our Blog!  We are a family of 5 living in rural Southeast Wisconsin.  Our family is on a journey, one we have been praying for and thinking about for a long time, a journey to natural living.  Through this journey we are hoping to share with others the things we learn and the places we go. Kage and I have been happily married for nearly 10 years now, and have 3 wonderful children;  J, N and L .   J is a lively girl who is always thinking up something and has an amazing desire to learn about the world in which she lives.   She is always on an exploration of some kind.  She is 5 years old and a blossoming Kindergartner learning at home.  N is a beautiful girl who lives in the moment and beyond.  Although she is only 3, you can find her imagining her family as she grows and caring thoughtfully for her “babies”.  She loves to dress up and wear high  heels that click when she walks through the house.  L is a 5 month old baby boy who is the  light of the home, always smiling and ready to brighten up the day.  He is happy as can be when being held and seeing the world from a new perspective. Kage is a computer programmer, technician extroadinair.  He can fix anything and make a computer do practically anything a person could want it to.   Creating programs  could be considered a hobby, but also serves as his full time  job.  He is always thinking up something new to do. Kristi stays busy managing the affairs of the house.  Cleaning, cooking, and caring for the kids are my main duties.  Teaching J and N has also taken a high priority this year.  I love our home and everything in it, and I am happiest there.  I enjoy running, biking, gardening, and scrapbooking, and just about any other “womanly” hobby. Over the past year or so I have become very interested in the “natural” movement as it surrounds me more and more each day.  What we have always assumed was healthy and good for our bodies is now changing.   We live in a world full of chemicals, of which the side effects are not yet known.   1 Corinthians 3:16-17 says: “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?  If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple in sacred, and you are that temple.”  As a temple of God we are striving to rid our bodies from the toxins that may destroy it. As I researched more what I read was starting to worry me and after a long conversation with Kage we decided it was time to do something about it.  We thought there would be no better tool to help us on our journey, than a blog to log our findings and the stops on our journey.  Over the next few months we will share the changes being brought to our house, and the effects they have on the family.  We are very excited about this journey and pray for those reading it that it will be a blessing to them as it will be to us.
