Some of you may have known this blog as "Once Upon the Papenbergs". I created it around the beginning of 2011 when I was pregnant with our son, Harlee, intending to write about our life's events and excitement, and using it as an outlet for writing, since I do enjoy writing. Well, there I was with a 15 month old and not many posts, especially ones about our family, and I got to thinking, "Ya know, I really enjoyed writing about my natural birth preparations, my thoughts and feelings on that, and all the things I've learned about it... I should write more about my natural lifestyle rather than family stories like I originally intended." Besides, there are plenty of other blogs out there that are dedicated to family adventures and stories, and while I do enjoy reading those stories, I don't feel like I'm contributing all that I have to offer when I'm just putting another blog out there simply about our family. Though if something exciting happens to us, I'll be sure to share :).
So, this blog has been converted to Naturally Jami. I've had the idea for some time now, and decided to just do it. I'm excited to share my knowledge on living a natural lifestyle, which has been my passion pretty much all my life, and hopefully can offer some insight to those of you interested in the same!
One thing I've noticed that sets me apart from a lot of people is that I LOVE to research. I NEED to research. I don't feel comfortable making a decision on anything without having done some degree of homework beforehand. Not many people make decisions in this manner, even when it comes to things that, in my opinion, are important and should be looked into before a decision is made, like your personal health or the health of your children or other loved ones. I don't feel that doctors can just simply be trusted, as their training comes from the pharmaceutical industry - an industry which, I believe, is driven more by money and power rather than true care and concern for the health and well being of the consumer. We're not getting any healthier, in fact it seems as though we're going backwards when it comes to health care. That's why I turn to more natural ways and natural alternatives because, let's face it, nobody is smarter than Nature. So, since most people aren't doing their homework, and none of those people seem to be getting any healthier, I've decided to do the homework for you, thus, this blog.
DISCLAIMER: The posts in this blog consist of merely my opinions or suggestions. In no way do I want you to feel like I am telling you that you need to follow my advice or do as I suggest, nor am I judging you if you choose to do the exact opposite of me. Our differences are what make the world go round, after all! My only intent is to educate, share my interests with you, and give you some insight that you may not previously have. It is your free will to do with that information what you please.
Enjoy!
