Happy Thanksgiving!
I’ve been enjoying reading everyone’s “What I’m Thankful For” each day on Facebook – it’s interesting to read how people measure their gratitude – from things like a cup of coffee to a car that starts every morning. While I’m a firm believer in being thankful for what you have every day, it is nice to…

Less is More | Tried & True Healthy Hair Tips
If you were to look in my bathroom and shower two years ago, you would have found drawers and cabinets filled with dozens of different hair products, all cruelty-free and non-toxic, of course 😉 Shampoos, conditioners, gels, styling creams, pomades – you name it! Then add the hair dryer, flat-iron, and various brushes and combs…I could…

The Truth About Folic Acid
If I had to choose one book to recommend to parents, it would probably be Disease Proof Your Child | Feeding Kids Right by Joel Fuhrman M.D. Especially for those who are on the fence about raising your child on a plant-based diet, this will push you over to the vegan side of things without…

Raw Superfood Pudding
I have a major addiction to all things chocolate and I’ve passed it onto my daughter. I’m not talking about sweet milk chocolate – we LOVE the dark stuff! Luckily we have found a way to satisfy our sweet tooth and keep it healthy. We use raw organic cacao powder (and nibs) in our smoothies,…

Being a mom means multitasking and being…

The Natural Birth….that wasn’t
As I sit here watching my sweet baby girl sleep, a part of me is still grieving over all the obstacles we’ve had to face these past few weeks. After nearly a year of researching and preparing for a natural childbirth, we watched as just about everything we worked so hard for unraveled. Since then,…

Don’t be fooled…
The “tsssss” sound of twisting that cap off a soda bottle, the sweet taste and fizzy feeling…it’s an addiction to many. I know quite a few people who are trying to kick the nasty habit of drinking diet soda, I’m hoping some of this information will help! Here are some of the dangers, diseases, and side…

Say No to GMO
This post sat in my “draft” folder for months…how do you sum up the dangers in GMOs?! You could literally write a book on the subject! Here are some great excerpts from articles, websites, etc. that give you the basic run-down. GM foods or GMOs (genetically modified organisms) are created by taking the genetic material…

Chance, Reason & Fate…
I am a firm believer that I am the driver of my destiny…but I also believe that things happen for a reason and people come into your life to open your eyes, create change, or serve a purpose. It took me being sick for years to realize that I needed to slow down and make some changes…
