The Smiths - anything but ordinary

So here we are, probably the most common last name in the United States, yet we like to push the boundaries of social norms or at least the standard American way :) not really, we just are naturally drawn to, I guess. Sometimes we are referred to as the "hippie friends." I prefer being considered "natural." At the root of all I do, it seems to be nature that drew me there.

So we had our daughter at home, we believe in co sleeping and baby wearing; we eat unusual things like chia seeds and goji berries; I am a certified foot and face zonologist; we drink sunshine water, we are vegetarian or vegan (depending on the day), most commonly gluten-free vegans; we use essential oils and herbs when we are sick (or well), we are weary of plastic and chemical cleaners, we believe in the law of attraction and we are Mormons :)

But at the end of the day, we are all the same. We love our family. Our greatest joy is spending time with each other. We love the beauty and goodness of people. Some days are bliss, some days are rough; but we try to find the joy of daily living.

I love to read and learn more on health and wellness so I would like to write more of my journey here. A place I can reference my friends and family to recipes I love, websites that have helped us, and books to read.

I have had many, many people who have helped me on my way, who I will always be grateful for. If the things I write can help anyone on their way I will be happy. It is my turn to give back.

Loves.
