I Don't Even Like Granola

I am renaming this blog, as my life has changed significantly since starting it. The life before my now six month old daughter was born seems distant. On a holiday trip to Gatlinburg, after feeling sick for weeks, I took a pregnancy test. I thought it was hormonal, but never really thought the cause would be pregnancy. Sitting on the bathroom floor, I called my best friend, after telling my husband, and cried. I knew I would be facing fears I've been dealing with throughout my life, and the thought was terrifying. I was sick, but now I was really sick. It hit me, like my body knew that I knew, and my "morning" sickness (aka all day and night sickness) took over. Life has changed significantly since that moment in the mountains of Tennessee.

This blog will be about pregnancy, babies, post-partum dilemmas, joys, the lights of my life, food, health, things I have researched, kids, parents, moral choices, life, and whatever else may come my way. Starting this blog again has crossed my mind a million times since giving birth. There is so much I want to share, and so much I have learned and want or need to share. In this day and age, we expect to get online and have all the answers to every question we may have. I learned quickly that this is not always the case. I did a lot of internet searching while pregnant and after have Isla, and sometimes there was not an answer, or no one to relate to. I want to share about those things. Not just for myself, but for others who may type the same questions expecting someone to relate to. 

Naming this blog was difficult. Every name I tried was taken. I chose "Semi-Crunchy Momma" after laughing hysterically at the video "S*** Crunchy Mama's Say." I really don't consider myself all that "crunchy" by definition, but if you were to ask the more mainstream people in my life I am sure they would tell you that I am totally crunchy. My crunchier friends would tell you that I am more mindful and a little crunchy. I'll be posting about the things that make me a little more granola & other things that would make hardcore granolas gasp in shock and disappointment, but this is who I am, and these are the choices I have made for myself and my family, mindfully.
