Hello. I am Rebecca Simmons, mom of four daughters who loves travel, Iyengar Yoga and documenting life along the way. I’m turning 50 soon and I am working my way around the world to get to 50 countries while I am 50. Follow my quest on Instagram, as I post each country I visit.
At home in Knoxville, TN, I am a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher and offer I classes from my home studio.
I’ve been a full-time mom since 2004 and before then I was a free-lance journalist in Atlanta. My passion to write has never dimmed. And so here I am, crafting new chapters while turning 50.
With two daughters now living away at college, I’m calling us half-nesters. Parenting still requires teamwork and multiple calendars. But it also brings new freedoms, more time to explore, and to reflect.
Simply Natural Mom has been reinvented as Rebecca Simmons with:
- Travel reflections from our adventures
- Iyengar Yoga at home and abroad
- Stories by a mom but not about kids
I started Simply Natural Mom in 2009 to share my stories, tips and thoughts on mothering by intuition and living a natural lifestyle. We sewed, cooked and crafted together as a Montesorri family. It was during the boom of mom blogs and I was right in it.
Life has evolved but Simple Natural Mom remains a space for me to reorganize and reinvent. Similar to the work we do within ourselves.
Our oldest daughter is in college in Atlanta, our second is in Nashville, the third drivers herself places now and our worldly 10 year-old thrives in the excitement of growing up with older sisters. My husband Brian is self-employed with professional real estate and private investments. This gives us flexibility to craft our schedules and follow our passions.
