Nanny to Mommy

I want to "go natural" this year because I feel like I owe it to my kids. I have 2 toddlers and I will have a new baby in April. They deserve the very best and healthy start to their lives.

I think it is the best things for my kids to go as natural as possible!

I feel like I can't not do it at this point. There's no excuse for not making changes to help the Earth. We know too much, and products/information are so accessible thanks to the internet and a growing awareness.

With all the dangerous chemicals out there it is the best thing to do for our health.

My kids are inspiring me to go natural- for all of our health!

It is not a 'new' resolution but rather more of a continuing journey for our family. We are not so well behaved as to have completely cut-out fast-food, and I don't have my compost going yet, but getting there. It just seems to make the most sense to stay more 'natural' and our overall health has already been improving with the changes we have already made.

I'm trying to be more and more naturals for my family's health.

I want to elimate chemicals from my body.

I want to use more natural products because I feel that they are healthier for my family.

My children... I want to live healthier, and use natural products as much as I can to keep our family healthy!

My son has so many allergies and sensitivities so We decided to go a more natural route!!! We were going to try living on the beach but my husband said no!!!

I wanted to go natural this year for my health and my family's health.

My son has lots of food allergies, so going natural is common place around our house.

My children who are very sensitive to lotions and certain foods.

I've been "going natural" over the last 3 years or so, but with #2 on the way I've found more reasons and new ways to do it.

I'm tired of all of the junk in products today. Every day you're hearing about something that is in something that causes something. Tired of it!

I decided to go natural to make a good influence on my kids.

My daughter just keeps pooping up her back with disposable diapers, so we decided today we're switching to cloth.

I want to do what's best for my kids. I also want to teach them to be good to the planet.

I feel that going natural is going to save me money in the long run.

Saving money and keeping my kids healthy.

It is healthier for everyone & the environment.

A more natural approach just makes sense-I think most of todays items are too processed. Cloth diapering my youngest really started me thinking!

I want to live a healthier life!

having kids and being pregnant makes you reconsider just about everything. including health!

i have been natural for a whole now -Laura DeLuca

I'm trying to make healthier choices with food, beauty and household products.

I'm trying to go more all-natural in 2014 because I have always had allergies and now I have a dog that has such severe allergies that he is now on an oatmeal, green bean, and lean pork only diet. We really don't know if it's food allergies or environmental. It is so frustrating...

It's just a continuation of what I already do.
Thanks for the contest.

we all deserve to be more natural for our health and the environment

I really worry about the chemicals in our food, our cleaners and our pet products. I really started worrying about this when I lost my three German Shepherds due to a flea and tick product I was using. I began to question everything I was using and how these products can affect my family's well-being.

I've always preferred more natural solutions to daily tasks.

I am always looking for natural choices for food or cleaning, it's just a healthier way of life.

To keep my family healthy

My daughter has very sensitive skin so I have been doing research on different all natural products! These look wonderful!

I don't want to pollute the environment with more toxins. We don't know the long term effects of a lot of things.

I want to focus on becoming a healthier family and that has led me to more natural products

My new baby is the reason I am going green in the new year!

We already are pretty natural, and it just makes sense to expand on that.

Each year we have been moving a bit more towards natural and healthy options.

I've always tried to be on the healthier side, but becoming pregnant makes me look into products more

It's better for our overall health.

Going natural was triggered by my own autoimmune issues. I can only hope over time it will help and I know it is the best thing for everyone anyway.

Initially I was interested in it to save money. But now I do it because I feel healthier doing it.

We've worked really hard at going natural with what goes in our bodies, now we are working on what we use on the outside.

my kids' health!!

I am always wanting to add more natural stuff to our lives or replace it with stuff we already use.

We've been making a natural or green change every week since Thanksgiving, and we want to continue that through the new year! <3

I want to go natural in the new year for my grandchildren.I feel like if I start using natural stuff, then they will use natural things with out having to think abiut it. It will be second nature to them

We are trying to go more natural bc my 2 year old son has eczema and everything with colors and the other junk breaks him out badly

I'm already going natural with cloth diapers and wipes. I just want to add to that...I'm thinking cloth napkins too!

I always want to incorporate more natural practices into our life. The new year is a great excuse to push forward.
Thanks for the chance.

Knowing that going natural will improve my health made me want to do so.

My family is the reason why I go natural, I want us to be healthy and happy

Every year I like to try to incorporate something more healthy with my family, whether it's switching out a few more things in our diet, using safer cleaning techniques, or using green materials in our house. We can't do it all at once, but I like to slowly change things for the better!

I went natural because my son has allergies

I want to go more natural for my children

We are talking about trying to have children and want to get into good habits in advance!

I want to go natural because it is the best thing for myself & my family. Way too many toxic chemicals in everyday items as well as in our food & water.

For the first time in forever, I'm currently a SAHM for the next little while (much better than being on the road for 50+ hours a week like before!), and actually have the time to put into making our lives more natural -something I've always wanted but could never keep up with before!

I've been struggling with adult acne for a few years now, and I'm tired of trying every product or chemical under the sun. I want to go back to nature and see if I can get my skin straightened out!

I want to live a "greener" life for my family's health and also for the environment!

my health.

I want to live a healthier life for me and my kids.

My husband, he likes it best when I am natural!

I actually read the ingredients of some of the products I was using. I looked up some of the ingredients and was disgusted.

wanting to be healthier made me want to go natural in the new year.

Ever since I had my daughter 2 years ago I have been trying to do more natural things like cloth diapers and wipes and wool dryer balls. I learn new stuff everyday to do!

I want to be more natural- for better health.

my daughter in law got me into it

I wanted less chemicals to be getting on to my children's skin so I decided to use natural bath and care products for them :)

I hair have birth to my perfect baby boy and since then I've wanted to do everything right just for him! that means surrounding both of is with the most natural products and foods possible so that we can both live happy healthy lives

because you hear all about the harmful chemicals that just magically get into our food, toys, clothes, cleaners, etc! i don't believe there is enough testing done to know what it will really do to our bodies! its a shame that these products were made in the first place because all they're doing is hurting us: not only us, but more importantly, the environment. i am proud that many companies are coming out trying to improve their products, packaging, and processes. although i fear many irreversible damage has already been done.

I think the new year is a good way to start being natural or anything new for that matter!

I want to go natural in the new year so I can teach my daughter some earth-friendly habits as she grows. I think it's important to show kids how to be kind to planet earth!!

I had a baby last year and was determined to use cloth diapers and make my own baby food, despite what everyone told me.

I'm having my first baby and want to limit her exposure to unhealthy chemicals.

Melanie M.

it is better for our family and causes less issues with our health in the long run

I want my family to be healthier.

I want to have another baby and do so without chemicals

We have been slowly making our way to the natural side of life...switching to cloth diapers last year and this year changing a lot of the adult products and kitchen products as well to have a more natural, healthy home! :)

deciding to CD our baby girl!

We have been pretty natural for awhile but could always use more supplies

I have been trying to go natural ever since we started cloth diapering our daughter 2 years ago.

The more natural the items are the better I feel. And as I will give this prize if won to a friend; I'd like to give nautral gifts as well for their little ones.

I always try to use natural products because I think it's healthier for my family.

Healthier for the family.

What made you want to go "Natural in the New Year"? I didnt just start, I have been doing it for years. I first started because I was low on money. Now I do it because I believe we are healthier for it. And we are still saving a lot of money :)

I've been trying to start being more natural since I found out I was pregnant with my son 3 years ago!

I believe that all the chemicals we expose ourselves and our children to are bad for our health

Because my skin and everyone in my household has sensitive skin. Besides natural is better for you overall.

Always went the natural route before kids so it's just sort of continued on. All the chemicals they use these days scare me.

Just keeping on the right path.

It's a long on-going process... slowly working on becoming more and more natural!

My new baby girl!

I try to be healthy for my daughters sake. I also feel a responsibility for the health of our environment.

The birth of our second child who is super sensitive to many chemicals has made us look into going green and reducing our carbon print.

Just to be healthier and better for the environment.

I just had a baby and reading about all the chemicals in things has made me want to be more natural for my little girl

I decided that I want make some healthier choices for my family.

We have given up paper goods. We are using cloth napkins, wipes and other various goods.

I always want to go natural.

We have been working towards a more natural living. We have gotten rid of all of the cleaners now we are working on laundry

Skin sensitivity makes me want natural and organic products.

Fear of unknown ingredients makes me go more "natural" every year.

We always go for all natural when possible.

I want to rid my home of as many toxins & chemicals as possible.

i want to be healthier inside and out

I want to help make the world a better place.

I want to go natural because it's better for the environment.

I'm just tired of all the harsh chemicals.

i want to go natural in the new year because it's better for me and my family. i am tony l smoaks on rafflecopter.

We've been taking baby steps for a while now. A new year always brings new motivation though.

trying a new healthy outlook on life

We have all been getting allergic reactions to all the chemicals in products. I have started to do all nautral on many things to keep our skin from so many harsh chemicals

I try to be natural as much as possible not just this new year

I believe a lot of our health problems are from chemicals so I want to reduce our contact with them as much as possible.

I have slowly been trying to work natural into our lives. I dont want to/ dont have the funds to change everything all at once so I have been choosing more natural options when we buy fresh items for the house ect.

because I want to do what's best for my kids

My fibromyalgia makes me want to go as natural as possible

I think that it is healthier and since I have retired I have a little more time to check into natural products and uses and try to eliminate other items in our home that we really don't need, because of chemicals or items in the product. Slow but progress has been made.

My kiddos...watching them thrive in a natural world is the most important.

I'm quickly finding that natural things are a lot better for my kids.

Too many Checmical in everything, time to go Natural

Trying 2 save on the envirement

I wanted to cut down on the amount of chemicals that we are exposed to.

i'm already pretty natural, but i'm working on cutting out processed foods even more.

i started looking into some "green" blogs. I've read a ton of articles on different topics and decided I needed to do better about how I lived my life!

I've always been pretty "crunchy" but I'm working on doing more: going 'poo free, fewer processed foods, more time outdoors (once it is no longer frigid)...

It is better for my familys health
