The Blogger:

Welcome to my blog! My name is Tiffany Washko and I am a freelance writer and blogger of eight years who is always striving for health, happiness, adventure, creativity, beauty and intention.  I am a Columbus, Ohio Blogger and I love hiking, reading, weight lifting, swimming, travel, sunny days, nourishing and lacto-paleo foods, rainbows, frugal luxuries, and simplicity in life. I am a wife (14 years) to my soul mate and mom to three, two of whom are autistic.

One of my foremost concerns is the state of the environment and making sure that my family and I live with a light ecological footprint. We try to maintain a sustainable home with green products that have minimal impact on Mother Earth. To that end I maintain this blog, which that addresses environmental and political issues and helps bring awareness to a group of people beyond my own immediate community. I am also a big advocate of REAL foods, obtained locally and produced ethically. In a previous life I was a marketing and advertising executive working in a major metropolitan city until my love all things green brought me to the Midwest and a more natural family life.

On a more personal note I was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer in 2006 at the age of 28. I am cancer free right now but the experience has taught me there there is nothing more important than living naturally and healthfully and it will always be my goal to stand as an example for other moms and dads who are not aware of the toxins that can be found in the average home and diet and why we MUST change that… for ourselves and for our precious children. Being diagnosed with cancer was one of the best things to ever happen to me (having kids is tops) because it changed me for the better in immeasurable ways.

I like to stay busy and have written for a variety of different web sites and companies. I enjoy working with brands to bring greener and healthier products to a larger audience and have worked with companies such as Ford Motors, Universal Pictures, Disney, Chobani, Reusit, Jambu, PlanetShoes, Nordic Naturals, Bionaire, and many others. My work has been featured in a few books too.

The Blog:

On this blog you will find information about natural and green living as it relates to raising a family. You will find information about health challenges presented by the not so natural world around us and how we can heal without the latest miracle pharma drug. As our society progresses and evolves we get further away from the natural world and I believe this is to our own detriment and the detriment of our beloved planet. Part of that means exposing the toxics we find ourselves surrounded with and highlighting favorable alternatives. I also discuss political issues that threaten our access to natural foods and natural health. You will also find a great deal here about raising kids that are connected to nature in an intimate and valuable way as they are the next generation… and you will not protect what you do not know and love. My greatest goal is to raise healthy, happy kids that will pass on vibrant health, societal awareness, and a deep and abiding love of our planet to their own children. It starts with us… are you ready to change the world?
