About Balanced Household
Untitled document
Balanced Household is lifestyle ezine that came about at a time when my life was in complete upheaval. My house was torn to the ground, my father passed away, my daughter wanted a car to go with her new driving license, and I had just taken over as general contractor on the house. My life was completely disrupted and it gave me pause.
I started to think about what’s important in raising a family and how we were all dealing with the changes we were experiencing. I saw my friends, and people all over the country struggling with the balancing act of raising children, juggling careers and trying to save for the future.
Times have changed since I was a kid, and though we struggled, life has become ever more complicated, busy and frankly overwhelming. The most important thing we can offer to ourselves and our family is a sense of balance between eating healthy, living the fullest life we can, staying organized, and spending time with each other. I look around and see the sacrifices people make in the name of their families, often doing more harm than good in the long run. Eating late, buying processed (even organic processed) foods, not spending time, going too fast with schedules that are too full. It’s just not all it’s cracked up to be and there is a gentler, softer way that we can approach step by step.
