Periodically, we would like to feature members of the Natural Parents Network community in posts such as this one. If you would like to be included, tell us what makes you a natural parent in the form of “I am a natural parent because ___.” Send along a photo, short bio and a link to your blog (if applicable) to mail@naturalparentsnetwork.com with the subject line “I am a natural parent because.”
