Simple wellness in a frantic world.
Intentional & Alternative Living
I live in the suburbs of a city of seven million people. We rent the main part of a house in a solidly middle-class neighbourhood where it's cool to recycle, sure, but anything beyond that is just plain weird. I am the weirdo of the neighbourhood, and I'm ok with that. Being a ...
Condiments
Please tell me you've made your own taco seasoning before. It's so crazy easy. In fact, it's so easy that I was not convinced it needed its own blog post and the photo stayed in a folder for months. Then I realized: what if I have readers who still buy those icky envelopes of taco ...

Post by contributor, Marissa The other day as we were shopping the produce section, our five year old, Aneliese, spotted the “huge bananas” and wanted to buy them. While explaining to her that they were actually plantains, Dan and I both remembered that while living in Haiti, the ...

Center Image by Nico Paix via Flickr CC Dear World: We need to talk. You've gotten into a really bad habit of equating a person's worth or character with the depth of their healthy eating habits. Unfortunately, food manufacturers have gotten wind of this and now design their ...
Gardening & Homesteading
When Alice Rumphius was a little girl, she vowed that when she grew up she would travel the world and live in a house by the sea. “ There is a third thing you must do,” her grandfather told her. “ You must do something to make the world more beautiful.” Miss Rumphius fulfilled her ...
Personal Essays on Marriage, Motherhood, & More
Dearest One, Today we mark ten years of marriage. Happily, even. With a touch of pride and a cautious joy. Given that a few short months ago I didn’t think I wanted to stay married I’d say we’re doing pretty well. Ten years ago when I married you under the muggy late-spring sun on ...
We don't use buns in our family. (Insert butt jokes here). I keep seeing gluten-free recipes around that I want to try, but meh, that's too much effort and when you've cleaned up all manner of bodily fluids and smashed food bits and mushed banana and paint and ...

This banana bread was yesterday's gift to me. I made it in between the usual 4-kids-under-4 emergencies and disasters, cuddling a teething, nap-striking baby, and crock-potting a roast chicken for dinner. (Is crock-potting a word? I'm gonna go ahead and declare it one.) I had some ...
Gardening & Homesteading
Post by contributor, Marissa. When we moved across the country to a tiny community in rural Nova Scotia, we bought our seven and a half acres with a big old duplex farm house without having seen it other than a video and pictures. With grand - if slightly vague - dreams of our own ...
About Me
I’m a mom of four with an obsession for all things natural health, but I’m driven by wellness, not perfection. I’m an eternal optimist, a non-conformist, and a classic INFP. When I was 19, I married my total-opposite hubby, who is an ESTJ. This remains both the craziest and the best decision we’ve ever lived to tell about. I can always be bribed with sushi or tex-mex, and I love to embarrass my husband by cranking the music and dancing (badly) in the passenger seat.
