Blog: A Life in Change

For fifteen years, I have been blogging about what happens when you choose a life that is "different." Here, you can find personal, heartfelt, and passionate stories about the whole journey—from when the children were small to now, when they are grown, and some are even adults.

In our family, things change continuously, always. We certainly have habits and routines, but things shift all the time—the children develop, seasons change, and different phases follow one after another. Any glimpse into our family life, our routines, or "how we do things" should therefore be understood as snapshots—examples of what is possible.You will find articles from the past that in no way describe where we are in our lives today. That is the beauty of living: evolving, learning, and growing wiser, while filling life with "star moments." Even though we no longer eat gluten, watch TV, or spend hours in front of an iPad, I have chosen to leave the old articles up for the enjoyment and inspiration of those who wish to read them.
