Much of the inspiration behind Schulte’s writing comes from her family. Schulte is a mother of four boys, ranging in age from 21 to 8. Her oldest two boys are currently attending college. Her youngest son, whom is 8-years-old, was adopted from foster care and has Down Syndrome. It is a condition he shares with Schulte’s 9-year old biological child who also has Down Syndrome. In caring for the special needs of her youngest two children, Schulte developed a special interest in healthy foods. She sees what a difference a healthy diet and a green lifestyle makes in their overall health. She admits to being a health food nut.
