The Paleo Solution
Check out Robb Wolf's Paleo Solution page. I'm going to buy the book soon, The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet. My friend Chris introduced me to this way of life and it's pretty easy to understand. It's really the way our bodies were designed to eat and function.
Here's a link to his page...

welcome to the not so popular crowd!
For those of us who choose to take the "other" path. Here's to being an outcast... it's not always such a bad thing...
No Vaccines means less health problems in our children, less poisons, less cancers, etc.
No to GMOs means we might live a little longer. Maybe we'll enjoy our food the way nature made it.
No spanking means we discipline with love and produce well-rounded, emotionally stable children.
No Facist/Socialist government means we learn how to take care of ourselves like we're designed to do. Or wait, maybe we were designed to make walmart a profit.
Homeschooling/unschooling offers our children every single thing they want to learn in life and more! Without the government ruling what they are and aren't allowed to learn.
Co-sleeping means more secure and independent children who learn from their mother's cues.

Co-sleeping... worked for me!
a touchy topic for some. a lifestyle for others.
i am probably one of the biggest co-sleeping advocates you will meet. i live by the motto "what baby needs, baby gets". and that's not a way of "spoiling" them. i mean that in a caring, nurturing way. your baby needs love, warmth, security and comfort, especially in the first year of life. to take a child and place them in a bed surrounded with bars all alone in a room away from your own seems barbaric to me. you know, like a prison. i have studied co-sleeping until i'm blue in the face and have seen the positive effects it can have on children.
at 20 months old, my child is the most independent kid i know. she marches to the beat of her own drum, does things for herself and plays well with other children. and it just so happens the research i've done on co-sleeping has shown me that parents who co-sleep tend to produce more secure and independent children. wonder why? because those children weren't ripped from their mothers every night at bedtime. they slept safe and sound and secure snuggled up to the people who made them feel that way.
i was never scared of rolling over on my baby. i think this is the biggest argument i hear from people, but i always respond with mother's intuition. we, as mother's, have something inside us that wakes us up to protect our babies. co-sleeping made it easier to nurse my daughter at night. it made it easier to bond with my baby in the first month of life and it made sleep more peaceful for me knowing she was right next to me.
what you choose to do is your call, but i have seen the awesome effects it's had on my child so far and i'm proud to say i'm a co-sleeping mommy! here's some info on co-sleeping and the positive effects it can have on children.
