My Apologies and New Hopes

I have to apologize to those who follow my blogs.  I have recently moved as briefly mentioned here, and have been without a functioning computer for about two weeks, and then I went through a loss. I'm here now and, though I may seem a bit distant, I am ready to blog my little heart out! :)

To further explain, my wonderful husband, myself and our three children have been transitioning from life as a military family, to life as a civilian family again. It has been difficult and the decision and move have been quite hard on all of us. We moved from an Army post to in with his father and step mother, along with their four children in another state. With four adults and 7 children ranging in age from 7 months to 11 years old, it has been a bit chaotic and cramped. We are waiting for our house to be free from it's previous owners. It is still occupied at this time, but we hope to be moved in by the 15th of June.

I do not wish at this time to explain my most recent loss except to say that those who know are those who are closest to me. While I have not told everyone yet, it's not because I don't love you or am not close to you, it is simply an intensely personal thing.

Now for the new hopes. We are beginning to feel the effects of no longer being a military family. We no longer eat as healthy living with others who chose to eat a lot of processed foods and what I consider to be junk. While I love this family, it is a strain on our bodies to eat this way. SO, hoping to go back to natural very soon.

On top of switching back to natural foods we are also beginning to consider making, using, and selling natural cleaning and health products. I already use mama cloth and cloth diapers and try to use natural cleaning products before resorting to scrubbing bubbles and bleach. Our list hopefully will soon include; body soap and shampoo/conditioner for men, women, and babies/children, deodorant, baby power, bottom balm for both mama and baby, first aid burn balm, general first aid supplies (perhaps kits), cloth diapers, and mama cloth. 

I am super excited about this and the prospect of making a small profit off of my natural abilities of sewing and cooking. We plan to start off slow and take lots of advise. This will hopefully one day result in a boutique of my own, where I can charge bare minimum for my products while still making a small profit! For now I am in the research and development phase of beginning a business. This should be wonderful for our family and will become easier for me to do since two of our children will be starting school in the fall.

So, for anyone who will be interested, let me know what you would like in such products. How can I best serve the natural products community? Let me know :)

And yes, Shittles, I will be willing to ship to you.
