I'm a researcher. . . I love learning. I love knowledge. I'm finally learning that knowledge isn't everything (especially if you make others feel poorly by your use of it).
Over the last several months, our family has evolved into a grain free lifestyle. I've been researching. . . learning the health benefits and any possible drawbacks. Trying to figure out how to get my children to all reach their optimum health. I have a skinny kid who hates fat but would live on fruit alone. I have a couple of darling girls that tend to store carbs as fat (aka inherited Mama's genes). I have one typical child who is of average size and good health. I have another girl who is on the small side, and suffers from stomach upset, acid reflux, and major behavior upheavals. Five kids, five very different dietary needs. I'm striving to meet them all in our grain free life.
While doing all my research, I started thinking about starting (yet another) blog. I have several, but one primary blog that I've been writing in since my middle daughter's Celiac Dx in 2007. I noticed there is more need for information about feeding families in a grain free/paleo deviant fashion. I call us Paleo-deviants because I bake. My kids like kid food (surprise, right?). So they get muffins and *gasp* cookies made healthier, more natural. I tried many different blog names that would grab attention and let people know what we are about. GoDaddy rejected a few, something about them already being taken. . . but I happened upon grainfreefamily.com and I bought it. Then I logged in over here at blogger and that name was already taken! Oops. . .should have checked that first. But here we are. Grain free and thriving. Lots of kids. Real life natural living in a big family. . . on a budget. What we eat. . . how the kids handle it. . . how we afford it. . .
