This journey began about 7 years ago when I was trying to become a mommy (which took two years and nine months, but that’s for another post!). On my path to motherhood, I ended up taking a good hard look at many aspects of my life: nutrition, stress, environmental toxins, emotional health, wellness and the pharmaceutical industry, the importance of relationships, the power of thoughts, mindfulness, environmentalism, and faith…just to name a few ;).
Something life-altering happens when you hold your newborn baby in your arms for the first time. Something crazy happens when you hold your second born in your arms for the first time. And something profound happens when your third-born arrives 10 weeks early, weighs a mere three pounds, makes it through an emergency delivery, and you hold him in your arms for the first time.
After a 41-day stay in the NICU and many hurdles to follow, venturing out alone with my three boys for the first time was a big step! As we walked down the sidewalk–me with the baby in a carrier and the rest all holding hands–I thought to myself we look like a family of ducks walking along. And so, Five Little Duckies was born.
Join me in our continuing quest to grow and thrive by getting back to our roots…naturally.
