I walk a fine line on this blog. I would like to say I brazenly talk about all the difficult stuff I might face as a mom but really I don't. Instead I blog more about the good stuff which can of course leave people with the impression that you are either perfect or dishonest. But alas it cannot be helped most times because I value the privacy of my children as they get older and I have to be mindful of everything that gets sent out into the world wide web. You just have to try and be as real as … [Read more...]
Non Toxic Tots
As parents become increasingly aware of all the potentially toxic products that are marketed to kids it only makes sense that some concerned parents would open stores to provide us with safe alternatives.

Well, it was about time I smarten up here...I will be answering them on the blog so I can just send a link...easy peasy. Q: I think you may be past the point of needing infant formula, but do you have any strong feelings towards any of … [Read more...]
Raw Food for Kids
Just in case you missed it, I posted about kids and raw food over at my other blog. It is challenging IMO to commit to a raw foods diet because it is so different than what we all grew up and with. It also contrasts with what is considered the "norm" nowadays. Kids in particular can be hard to transition away from processed, chemical laden, nutritionally deficient cooked foods. You have to get more creative than trail mix and salad to get the kids on board. With that in mind I have just … [Read more...]
