Love this from Jones Roots Farmhouse:
"I saw somewhere earlier this week “Some people avoid toxins just to add them to their personality” and that kind of stuck with me.
I know I’ve been that time in the past… but boy over the years especially as I’ve grown into my role as a mother… have a realized I’d rather have peace in my home than perfection in my “crunchy life”.
Yes I love My natural remedies and homecooked meals
I prefer lard over vegetable oil a million times
I crave homegrown veggies over store bought
I sleep like a baby with a little cedar wood essential oil and I love sleepy time tincture
A digestive essential oil blend is used more than pepto in my home
I know a fever is a body doing its job but I also going to read my child and give modern medicine if they are uncomfortable.
Zoloft saved me when my PPA and OCD were debilitating and continues to help me daily as a mother, wife and human ♥️ sorry, not sorry.
I’m not going to say no to Chinese takeout or bar nachos - sorry.
Natural fibers are all good and dandy but vintage rayon floral granny dresses bring me pure joy and i ain’t giving them up
………
Overall, the farther into my mothering journey, growing as a woman, and my walk with Jesus, I know we live in a fallen world. No amount of essential oil, red light therapy, raw milk, or grass-fed beef is going to change that.
And I sure as heck will not be adopting those things as idols.
Peace 👏🏻over 👏🏻 Perfection 👏🏻"
