Why Rustic Touch

This blog has been something I have been debating about for some time now. I hesitated mostly because I wasn’t sure how it would be received. But here I am and I couldn’t be happier. I really wanted to explain what brought me here, and it all started with my son. My second born and eye opener.

After being diagnosed with Autism and struggling with his dietary and sensory needs, I was forced to immerse myself in finding ways to improve his health and well being. That meant exploring the unknown and thinking outside the box. What worked with my oldest, wasn’t working for him. He was full of energy but trapped. Non verbal and experiencing pain with no way of telling me what he needs. This was one of the most difficult and heartbreaking experiences I have ever felt. I promised him I would make it better, and I haven’t stopped trying.

I’m a mom of four beautiful children and find myself constantly looking for new ways to feed and entertain my munchkins. With my sons specific needs, I found it even harder to do so. I also run my own small home bakery and event set up company. Working from home has been one of the bigger challenges I have had. Trying to balance mom life with your own dreams and goals is no easy task. Its also the blessing I needed. As an entertainer at heart, I’m able to explore my creative side and celebrate wonderful moments with people, its awesome!

Why Rustic Touch? Well when I think of Rustic, I think plain and simple, natural materials. A hands on approach, a do it yourself manner or method is Touch. I use a Rustic Touch for everything in my life. From cooking everyday meals to building a sensory gym in my basement. I have found that the simple things are the most important.
