I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t know a lot about technology (my brother can attest to that). I don’t own an iphone either so I really don’t know much about apps. Recently I came across an app that caught my eye and I’m not yet sure how I feel about it. It’s [...]

Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about how fast time flies by us, probably because Annabelle’s first birthday is on Sunday. I’ve also been reading The No Cry Sleep Solution for Toddlers and Preschoolers (let’s face it, I missed the boat on the infant stage) because I seem to have reached the end of my [...]

One of the easiest steps to take towards eating real food is giving up the egg white omelet or any variation of it. Why even eat an egg without the yolk? The egg white doesn’t have much going for it flavor wise or nutrition wise. The taste is in the fat. Contrary to popular belief [...]

Preparing lunches is no quick task in my house. I wish it was. I wish I could just throw something together and be done with it so I could move on to doing something more fun. I’m pretty OCD about making sure that everybody has a lunchbox full of healthy food to take with them [...]

I promise I’m not a food Nazi. It’s taken me a lot of time, learning and aggravation to get to where I am today in the world of real, nutritious food. I’ve had body image issues for almost as long as I can remember which for me led to an assortment of eating disorders and [...]

In my house we eat a lot of greens. My personal favorite is kale but I don’t discriminate. We love all species of kale, collards, mustard greens, turnip greens, beet greens, spinach. You name it we probably love it. They’re easy to make, can be tossed into soups, stews, eggs, casseroles and just about anything [...]

I’m not a fan of un-natural food like products that are made in a lab. I don’ t think they have any reason to be in our bodies or on our plates. High fructose corn syrup is one of my biggest pet peeves, especially all of the ads claiming that there’s nothing wrong with it [...]

Actually it wasn’t today but it was recent. I’ve written about my struggles with trying to stay healthy and losing the baby weight and doing what’s best both for myself and for Annabelle. Like so many moms I’ve been trying to do it all, and then I lost it. Recently I’ve had conversations with other [...]

Milk seems to be a real issue for me. Whether it’s raw cows milk, goat milk or breast milk, it seems like it’s never more than a few days before I’m back onto the subject of milk. Annabelle is nearing her first birthday and I’m trying to decide what to do about my milk. The [...]

Recently we’ve been battling Annabelles second ear infection. She got her first one at four months and had to endure three rounds of antibiotics (one round of which was three days of antibiotic injections) before it finally went away. We went to see an ENT and by the time we got in to see him [...]
