here is a pic my 9 year old took of me at the computer

This blog is authored by me, Carrie Lauth, host of Natural Moms Talk Radio. I am a single work at home Mom of 4 (they’re boy 9, boy 7, girl 5 and girl 2). The kids are homeschooled and are in charge of gathering the eggs every morning and putting the hens back in the cage at night.

When I was a young girl I dreamed of writing. I wanted to be the younger, hipper, Gentile-r version of Judy Blume. But it’s cheaper and a lot less stressful to blog, so here I am.

I (and my guest bloggers Marcie and Elizabeth) share thoughts, tips and news about natural parenting. Everything from homebirth to breastfeeding and homeschooling, and everything in between.

If you’re into making natural living choices you’ll feel right at home here. I also love to discuss things like frugality, working at home, nutrition (challenging the diet dictocrats by eating lots of fat and drinking raw milk) and eco conscious living.

I’m a retired breastfeeding counselor and have had 4 natural births (3 at home) meaning I have a pretty high pain tolerance and don’t like to be told what to do by people who don’t know me or my kids.

Hopefully by sticking around here you’ll find inspiration and confirmation of your own nutty choices. ;) That, and you might win stuff because I like to give gifts away every week.

Despite the key phrases that show up in my website stats, this blog is rated PG. I don’t swear, so you can read with your kids looking over your shoulder.

Here’s what my cyberdoppelganger Tiffany Washko of NatureMoms.com said about me:

“As a mom of 4 and a natural parenting advocate and expert, Carrie has the
experience and knowledge to guide other moms and dads in their own journey
to more natural, gentle, and socially conscious parenting choices.

Not only can her timely articles help keep you informed of issues important
to natural families her first hand experiences serve as valuable lessons
that all parents can benefit from.”

Wow. I swear, I didn’t pay her much to say all that.

Another reason you should read my blog is because I will publish your questions and leverage the power of my blog for your benefit. To submit a question, go here. I have a lot of smart mommas who visit here. :)

A couple more things: I currently reside in Atlanta, GA. When I’m stressed or blue, I listen to Mr. Paltrow. I wouldn’t be caught dead in a pair of Birkenstocks. And here are 50 more things about me. You can catch more of my frantic typing at my business blog. You can see what I do for a living inbetween math and phonics, feeding the kids every half hour, and laundry here.

Now go hug your babies!
