Family and Friends
The Scribbles of a Sojourner – the blog I kept during my single years.
Semicolonized – my husband’s blog: good words about life, God and writing.
Sojourner’s Song – my husband’s old blog …no longer updated, but still great writing (and it’s the blog I “met” him through!)
Kindred Grace – my other writing place on the web: an online community for ladies, young and old, to encourage one another toward Christ.
Lanier’s Books – the blog and bookshop of a dear friend who writes how I wish I could write.
Gretchen Louise – another mama of littles who is also a dear friend and fellow writer for Kindred Grace.
All That Is Good – Trina is another friend and fellow writer for Kindred Grace, and I consider her my “raw milk mentor”. She also wrote a great eBook called Real {Fast} Food (you can read my review of it here).
Natasha Metzler – I “met” Natasha when she started writing for Kindred Grace and since then her blog posts have often brought me to tears, made me think and pushed me closer to Jesus.
Fountain of Love – another mama blog, this time a friend who I’ve not yet met in person, but who shares my love of natural birth and mothering.
Blogs I Learn From
Sarah Bessey - one of the most encouraging blogs I read (some of my favourites of her posts are here).
Modern Alternative Mama -”Living the non-mainstream life!”
Modern Alternative Kitchen - as the title suggests, this is a sister site of Modern Alternative Mama that focuses on real food…lots of great info.
Modern Alternative Pregnancy - recently added to the Modern Alternative Mama blog network, this is a site that I’m really excited about — natural birth and babycare are some of my favourite subjects.
Modern Alternative Health – this is the latest site from Modern Alternative Mama and I’m excited to learn a lot from it — all about natural healthcare.
The Mommypotatmus – I have learned so much from this blog as the posts she writes are usually very well-researched and thought out. An excellent resource!
Passionate Homemaking – “Loving simple, natural, and intentional living”
Nourished Kitchen – one of my favourite traditional food blogs, this one has lovely photos and great writing along with lots of yummy-looking recipes.
Pursuing Titus 2 – writing that has repeatedly help to convict me and caused me to think — excellent posts.
Walk Slowly, Live Wildly – this blog definitely appeals to the side of me that has always wanted dreads…
Kitchen Stewardship – another blog about real food and natural living from which I’ve gleaned a lot of good information.
Keeper of the Home – “Naturally inspired living for the Christian homemaker”
The Nourishing Gourmet – a site focusing on real, nourishing foods.
GNOWFGLINS – “God’s Natural, Organic, Whole Foods, Grown Locally, In Season”
Peaceful Parenting – I don’t agree with everything this site promotes, but their information on breastfeeding, co-sleeping and natural birth is very good.
Natural Health Resources
Beeyoutiful – my absolute favourite natural health store. This is where I get most of our supplements, probiotics and essential oils along with other random things like their amazing Miracle Salve that we use on pretty much anything!
Beeyoutiful Skin – this is Beeyoutiful’s mineral makeup line and while I don’t often wear makeup, when I do this is the only stuff I’ll use.
Azure Standard – the co-op that we get quite a bit of our food and household items from. They’re out of the Northwest and are slowly expanding into the East…for which I am very thankful!
Graham Gardens – I’ve mentioned their diaper cream in several posts (and even did a giveaway for it and some other of their baby products), but this company also has a lot of other great products as well…all completely natural and stuff I would feel totally fine about putting on my littles’ skin (and my own!).
More Than Alive – a company that carries many of Beeyoutiful’s products, along with assorted bulk herbs and real food items.
Bulk Herb Store – where I get most of my bulk herbs and tincture-making supplies.
Mountain Rose Herbs – I’ve heard great things about the quality of the herbs from here, but thus far I’ve mostly ordered different oils and butters from here for making lotion bars. They also have a good and varied supply of metal tins, glass bottles and jars to store your homemade natural health goodies in.
Miscellaneous Resources
Sons of Korah – my favourite musical artists, an Australian band that sings Psalms.
Ballet Magnificat – a professional ballet company whose focus is to glorify Jesus.
JesusLife Together – a group of people striving to know and follow Jesus with each other every day.
Note: Even though I read these blogs often and have been around many of the sites extensively, I obviously don’t endorse everything on each one. As always, please use your own discretion.
