Meet Carlie From Simply Loving Country
Hello, I am so glad you found my blog! Let me introduce myself, my name is Carlie, I am a wife, mother of two boys and a lover of the outdoors. My enjoyment of the outdoors and the growth of my family have lead me to a simpler more natural life and overall the creation of this blog to share all of the knowledge I have been learning.
I began my passion for a more natural living when I had my children. I was reading the back of a bottle of bubble bath, because my son had sensitive skin and wanted to see what could be causing it, the bottle said right on it do not come in direct contact with skin. This really opened my eyes to the products I was using daily and how they could really affect my health, right then I decided that I was going to figure out how I could eliminate the bad and replace it with good. At that time I was aware of essential oils but never really understood how beneficial they could be, now they have taken over my whole home! I love using them in all of my homemade cleaning products and so much more!
I am also very passionate about feeding my family wholesome foods that are not only filling but very nutritional. I have found ways to be able to use our property to provide some of those foods either through my garden, harvesting wild berries, or tapping maple trees for sap to make maple syrup. I love preserving my own food from my garden and from what we have either harvested ourselves or bought from my sisters farm. I am very excited to be sharing these recipes with you!
