Kids like juice, but we don’t want our kids to have too much juice. We want our little ones to drink enough water but some just don’t. So what are we to do?
After going to Starbucks a few times, ordering the caffeine free passion fruit ice tea (unsweetened) and watching Tucker suck it down, I realized that this might just be a [...]

My 16 month old is a wee little guy (5th percentile for weight!), who is VERY VERY active, and is not interested in eating. He will nibble here and there on fruit, bread products, proteins (sometimes)…veggies are a definite no. He does love drinking things out of his sippy cup or bottle though.

Somedays I feel as if all I think about is if Tucker ate the right amounts of this and that; protein, fruits, veggies, whole grains, etc.. And I know many parents feel the same way (not just the vegan crazies like me), especially if you have a picky eater or a kid who just doesn’t [...]

I use the blender at least 2 x a day. When I was making homemade baby food when Tucker was younger, [...]

I was looking for these Vicks tablets that you put in the shower and they dissolve and help clear up your sinuses, but I couldn’t find them anywhere! Luckily, I came across something better. I was [...]

Leafy greens are full of vitamins, nutrients and phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are nutrients within nutrients that can only be obtained from eating the actual food item, [...]

I always try to buy and eat organic foods whenever possible. But, for some reason until recently, I never really thought about drinking organic wine. Sort of like I used to drink organic milk but never really thought about eating organic cheese. Odd huh? Anyway, after reading Skinny Bitch, I was enlightened to the useful fact that I should [...]

In a book I am reading, it mentioned Grapefruit Seed Extract as a very effective way to ward off sickness at the first sign of it. This is a book, about healing cancer and other chronis illnesses, stated that grapefruit seed extract is given to patients, who already have very poor immune systems, when a sickness is first [...]

I have been a vegetarian most of my life and have been vegan for the last year…well 99% vegan. My family doesn’t buy meat or dairy and we don’t eat it at home. But we do splurge while out, or for ordering the occasional pizza. I will eat cheese every now and then, and my [...]
