As we are home educating our children we have made contact with various alternative edication circles around the world.
One is the unschoolers emporium a community of unschooling families.
As we are doing unschooling and not homeschooling ourself we want to support organisations like these, as there is still so much misinformation out there about what is even possible to do with your children.
As unschooling is such a different concept than all we have learnt it can be quite challenging for a lot of people.
It is even challenging for ourself as we have went through a "normal"education ourself and need to work on our beliefs every day, so we can allow our children to explore their life without any pressure or judgement from our side!
Anyway, we just wanted to introduce you to the unschoolers emporium and send lots of love and support in this direction.
Enjoy this video here...

GREEN HOLIDAY SMOOTHIE RECIPES FOR KIDS
GREEN HOLIDAY SMOOTHIE RECIPES FOR KIDS
Good morning fellow RAWFOOD PARENTS,
It is 8 o'clock in the morning and all our children are awake now waiting for their morning smoothie!
We love to start the day with a green smoothie, to make sure all the children have all the minerals and vitamins they need.
Dark gren leaf veggies are the most powerful source of minerals apart from some superfoods.
They are for sure the most natural one
Our smoothie is with spinach (baby leaf), ripe bananas and water..and that is about it!
Here is the exact recipe:
300 gr spinach or kale
4-5 fully ripe bananas (the ones wih black dots)
1,5 liter fresh spring water
1 teaspoon of honey
Thats it! Of course you can play around and add some superfood like maca, marine phytoplankton or goji berries, but you do not have to.
Everyother day we use a mixture of stinging nettles or chickweed with spinach- but they like spinach the most, because the smoothie is really sweet with it. It is our idea to have a really sweet and tasty smoothie, that the children just love to drink it, especially as it is holiday time and we want to create something very delicious AND healthy for them.
Wild edibles are so much more nutrient rich, that is why we add them as often as possible. They have about 30-50 times more nutrients than the domesticated food, as they are growing wild and strong since ever ouside in nature.
Did you know that stinging nettles have:
30times more Vitamin C
20 times Provitamin A
40(!!!!) times more Calcium
25 times more magnesium and
50 times more iron than an ordinary organic lettuce.
Many parents asked us what we eat on a daily basis, that is why I decided that I am gonna start posting exactly what we eat everyday, to give you an idea. You can follow our food diary at http://www.TheRawfoodfamily.com/blog.php
Love, sunshine and magical days

Vaccination: Necessary or Dangerous?
Vaccination: Necessary or Dangerous?
First of all, I want to say that we are no doctors and have no a background in western medicine or something like that.This article is meant to communicate our beliefs and the outcome of our research only. We do not intend to tell you what you have to do or not.
You are responsible yourself to make good choices.
What we can offer you is our personal view, our belief. Here is what we do: We do not vaccinate our children for several reasons.
As Benny is our oldest (he is 9 years) and our "raw food journey" just started 6 years ago, we where so different when Benny was a baby.You have to know that Katie and I were so young when we became parents. We met when Katie was just 18 years of age, and we had our first child when Katie was 22.
We felt dependent on doctors (with a weird and weak feeling in the stomach already) at that point in time as we didn't know any better.So Benny got some shots when he was a young baby, and he heavily reacted to them, as I know I did as well when I got the shots.
But since we are on raw food (almost 6 years ago) none in our family has had any vaccinations.
1.
There is no real proof that vaccinations work anyway. I have heard and read about many cases, where kids got the shots and suffered from the diseases they have been made "immune" against later on. So they not only got the shots which have been proven to do terrible damage to the immune system, but they had no protection at all.
2.
The side-effects are so strong that sometimes they can be worse than the disease itself. Not only do some of the vaccinations work in a way that they infect you with the real virus, so the little bodies get totally stressed to fight something that was not there before, but there have been many, many cases in which other diseases have appeared as side-effect of the vaccination, some of them with death as final result.
3.
The side-effect of the vaccination itself. Some effects can be so strong that people have reported to get in shock and suffer long-term damage as direct results of the vaccination. Damage that is effecting them up until today and for the rest of their life's.
4.
The unclear structure of pharmaceutical industry, government and the "gods in white" medical guild who gets paid by the pharmaceutical lobby to prescribe and give the drugs. As long as this structure is not clear and transparent, and billions of dollars can be made with fear and disinformation, you have to doubt everything you have been told from doctors and government. They are the puppets of the pharmaceutical industry.
In addition to these 4 reasons I want to mention that we have been traveling the tropics for a long time, together with our little children. This makes things even worse for people with doubt and fear.
One more reason to do all these vaccination is for protection.
It is so funny and fits perfectly in our modern way of thinking being separated from our intuition and mother earth, that we want to believe that some god in white gives us the magic pill, that will heal us from diseases and protect us from all further dangers. We are weak victims without power and knowledge if we believe in this picture the government and pharmaceutical lobby wants you to believe in!
As we travel countries with malaria, dengue, millions of bugs insects and other parasites a lot of people do ask us if we take for example malaria prophylaxes to protect ourselves, and what our experiences are regarding doing this with small children and infants.
Our answer is: None in our family has ever taken any chemicals, drugs, pills or prophylaxes to prevent diseases. None in our family has been sick at all since we went raw.
You see that is the point. We so desperately want to help you to take the power back to yourself. Back where it belongs.
You do not need the doctors and pills. They do not help you and you do not need any help, as you have everything you need to restore and maintain perfect health.
(Do not get me wrong. Doctors are great if you have an accident and break your bone. We need their knowledge and wisdom in these extreme situations. But only then. In all other circumstances can we and should we take care of ourselves in a responsible way!)
If you eat a healthy diet, do exercise, are in contact with Mother Nature every day and look for your mental and emotional well-being, there is nothing you have to be afraid of- and in our belief and experience there is no need for vaccinations then, as your body can take care perfectly care of itself.
That is really all you need!
This will help you to get in deep contact with your source and restore not only health but also trust, which is what is missing so much in our world.
We do not fear any anything as we take care of ourselves to the best of our abilities.
We allow ourselves to be and create without limitations or fear. We also take responsibility for our life and our health.
This is the key success to health and why you do not need vaccinations, doctors or drugs.
This is our belief.
