About Me
My name is Tami and I live in central Illinois with my husband, Larry and three children, Caleb (7), Camden (5) and Emma Grace (3). I hope you'll enjoy reading about my life as a wife/mother and about our family's adventures.
Healthy Lifestyle Choices
One of our family goals this year is to implement some healthier eating habits. Our diet is fairly healthy, especially since having children, but we have been wanting to do more.
What we are already doing:
- Join a CSA - This is something our family has wanted to do for a few years and are finally able to try. We just joined Mitchell Farms Produce and are anxious to start getting our farm fresh produce in May.
- Buying hormone-free and antibiotic-free milk – We have been getting our milk delivered from Oberweis Dairy for several years.
- Reducing high fructose corn syrup - This is still an area we are still working on. It is a challenge to find foods that do not have this as an ingredient.
- Eating organic – As much as possible, we are buying organic foods.
What we want to do:
- Buying grass fed beef and free range eggs – Grass fed products offer more good fats and fewer bad fats. They are richer in antioxidants , including vitamin E , beta-carotene and vitamin C. They also do not contain traces of added hormones, antibiotics or other drugs (from Eat Wild).
