LOL. I thought that message title would be funny.
Hi, I'm Jennifer! I live in Florida, and I am a single mom of three kids (ages 8, 7, and 3). I started researching raw foods about two weeks ago when my daughter was in the hospital for the... well, heck, I don't even know how many times it's been now. I stopped counting in the teens. She has allergy-related asthma. Today was my first day eating raw. My youngest and I LOVED it, but I'm not sure how my older two are going to handle it... I suppose the younger you start them, the better they take it! LOL
We are fortunate to have an organic co-op here that carries a lot of raw foods items, like agave nectar, coconut oil, nuts, nut butters, and dehydrated raw fruits like raisins, dates, sultanas, and coconut.
I was a little nervous starting out, but once I made up my mind to just DO it, we jumped right in! Day one is almost over! Now I am off to find a recipe for dinner...!

I had really bad athsma as a kid, too. The single biggest thing that has helped is getting off processed sugar. I salute your courage to lead your family in a new direction. Welcome!
