My name is Zoe Sexton and this is my idea for helping people manage their 
households, and push myself to get on with my writing life.
I am a mother to four children still at home ages 16, 15, 4, and 2. There is great humor and some moments of frustration in that, but I am the type of person who doesn’t dally around with what was or what could have been. I always deal with what is and enjoy being an analytical problem solver—the primary job of any mom!
I grew up in rural Northern California; at least it was when I lived there. Now such visitors as Price Charles and his lovely mistress, Camilla, have dignified it. It has also become a well-known name in organic foods, from vegetables, to meats, poultry, cheese and flowers. If you haven’t guessed, the place is Point Reyes. Growing up, we were on the poor side, with artists for parents and mostly without a very stable living situation until I was in junior high. We lived in other people’s garages and had a nursery school in our house.
I did manage to get into a private high school with the support of my mother and my grandparents, and things shifted mentally for me from there. I graduated from UCSB, and two kids later, as a single mom, picked up an MBA.
What am I doing here? Well, it’s inherent in my nature to puzzle things out and I figure there has got to be a balance in every household between eating healthy, living the fullest life you can, staying organized without going insane, or making critical sacrifices. I look around and I see the sacrifices people make in the name of their families, which really do more harm than good and cause more problems in the long run. Eating late, buying processed (even organic processed) foods, not spending time, getting going too fast with schedules that are too full. I’m here to say, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be and there is another way.
So keep checking in with my website as I bring in more writers, articles, art, recipes, menus, suggestions and communities that will help you find your way in balancing your household, family, relationships and lifestyle.

Couldn’t agree more…healthy options when one just needs a few handfuls of a snack…exercise that isn’t mind numbing and not taking an approach that says, ‘today, I will eat great foods…”
Your attitude reminds me of a girl I once knew who lived up yonder and was amazingly creative!
All the best

Have you try the organic raw diet? Do you know that people actually die from it?
I have recently tried Super Cleanse by Adina Niemerow,, and there are quite a few raw organic recipes, but she also has cooked items and soups. I can definitely recommend her book. I never done a completely raw organic diet for the exact reason you mention. People can die from it and it’s not meant to be a sustainable lifestyle. There are many food types we are meant to eat and they need to be cooked, particularly considering the number of people who touch our food in our society. Even organic foods are handles by many people before as they travel from the farm to your kitchen.
Smart eating is always the best.
Thanks for posting!
Adina Niemerow’s approach works for her and perhaps for you also, but it would never work for my husband as he has his man thing to do, and specially my children with their overly sensitive taste bud.
see my comments in my recent post
When Mac&Cheese and Ice Cream is all they want, what is your method? I have mind and works very well, just wonder if you have one.
POOF!
Exactly. You need to understand a couple of things:
1. First of all, I do not want to entertain negativity on this Blog, so I can not allow most of your posts.
2. Your prying and aggressive nature does not complement you or your intelligence.
3. I will not be put on the defensive by your incorrect assumptions.
4. This Blog was/is simply a test site for my actual website which is not a political gully-wash, but was under construction at the time.
5. If you would like to have your posts allowed, perhaps you should rethink your approach.
