Welcome!

I am starting this blog as a way to organize all of the health tips and recipes that I find in all of my research, which is a lot! My goal is to have my family habitually eating healthy and exercising by the end of the year. The more that I learn about processed foods and drinks, the more I'm ready to switch to whole, organic foods.  I don't want my family putting all of those chemicals in our bodies. Processed foods have only been around for about 50-60 years, so the long term effects of eating this way has yet to fully be seen. I saw a sign the other day that said, "ORGANIC: It's what your grandparents called food." I loved it and would love to get back to that way of eating. Since my children are 2 and 4, if I start this now, they will never know anything different. I thought we were a pretty healthy family, eating low-fat foods and limiting our sodas and not eating out much, but I'm starting to learn that that is not going to be enough. I hope that the information that I am using for my family is just as useful for your family. I am doing this to help us, but it would be amazing if I were able to help other people along the way. Please feel free to leave comments or ideas as you read. I'm trying to learn as much as possible, (I'm a little obsessed) so any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
