Calling All Crunchy Moms Who Practice Natural Motherhood

Do you want to know what natural motherhood is? Have you been parenting your child differently from most parents? Are you sometimes called a “crunchy” Mom? Have you always wanted to know what all of that is about? If you said, "yes", to any of those questions, then this is the place for you! Mothers who are journeying towards a parenting style that’s not-the-norm come here to learn, share and document their experiences.

What Is Natural Motherhood?



It's really just an easier or more simple way of parenting. I'm learning how to do this daily. It seems kinda crazy that we have to learn how to do things simpler, but it is sorely needed in this day and age. New gadgets are popping up all over the place claiming to be the next best thing when the best was that simple idea that didn't need improvement in the first place!

I created this site to store all the information I'm learning so you can know it too. I hope you will feel comfortable in sharing your experiences and knowledge with me. Together we can create a warm, welcoming environment to help all mothers find the answers they seek.


Now by simple I don't necessarily mean easy. It's not easy planting and cultivating a garden so your children can eat the healthiest food possible. The simple I'm referring to is being logical and basic in the way you take care of your child/ren. A perfect example of this would be wearing your baby in a carrier instead of pushing them around in a stroller which keeps them apart from you. Natural mothers do what comes...naturally.

You Do What!?! Why Would You Want To Do That???



I'm sure you, like I, have heard those words at least once. If not, be prepared. When most people hear what we do, their first reaction is some sort of shock or surprise. They might even try to make you feel bad about your decisions. You won't feel like you're the weird one here for three reasons:
  • I am on the same journey as you are - we have something in common
  • leading scientific research backs us up - Mama intuition is actually right
  • other mothers share their journeys - let their wisdom encourage you


So, What Exactly Do We Do?



Good question. While we all may not be the same, we all do agree that parenting a bit differently than the norm is the best thing for our children. Here are some ways we care for our children:
