Under the guise of being well-rounded mothers who attend to ALL of our children’s needs, who detox their own and their family’s bodies, who have everything under control, who have a fit, healthy, attractive and well-rested body, who has a tidy home, all the supplements and oils, is doing ALL the things to promote health on ALL levels ALL the time
is the enemy’s crafty agenda to have us DOING TOO MUCH.

Too much driving. Too much stressing. Too much meeting ALL the needs. Too much tinkering with health. Too much supplementing. Too much fixing. Too much obsessing. Too much relying human specialists and on our own abilities.
Not enough trusting.

Hi! I’m Sarah Smith.
Mom of three.
Since becoming a mother I have gone through parasite cleanses, candida cleanses, extreme elimination diets, countless food sensitivities and airway challenges with myself and and my children, University model and Montessori school attendance, homeschool group adventures, tons of curriculums, different vehicles, several homes and loads of fitness approaches all in pursuit of health and balance for me and my family.

There have been moments in my life when I have thought,

“If I don’t get this workout in…

get this saunas session done…

get to this airway dentist…

get this test done….

find a good bread substitute…;

if I DON’T FIND THE ANSWER OR THE PERSON WITH THE ANSWER, ALL HELL IS GOING TO BREAK LOOSE AND WE WILL BE SO FAR GONE THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.”
