Simple wellness in a frantic world.
Snacks
In my Pinterest browsing the other day I came across a pin that claimed to be a list of 100 Healthy Snack Ideas. I was massively disappointed when I clicked on the link only to find over a third of the items to involve unhealthy processed junk with lots of low-fat this and that, and ...
Soups & Stews
"I love yellow soup!" declares the three-and-a-half-year-old with passion. "It's my favourite ever soup, Mommy!" (He hates squash. I love irony.) So, here's the confession: this is a recipe that I made up completely. Many of my recipes have actually been modified and melded ...
Isaac is a 3.5-year-old that loves his trains and cars. He drives them around, making up stories and narratives for hours on end, having a grand time. ("Help! Thomas is stuck in the mud! I'm coming, said Percy, here I am! Pullll! Ughh! You're free! Let's go to the station to get a ...

Pregnancy, Birth, & Breastfeeding
{20 weeks pregnant with number 3} ~ A bit of background: my first babe, our son, was born after being induced in a big city hospital and my doctor was the chief of obstetrics. I was a number being shuffled through a factory system, and I didn’t know any different. This was before my ...
Family Life
This morning as my kids were playing with play-dough at their little table in the kitchen, they were happily smooshing and rolling to their heart's content. Then, it would occur to the three-and-a-half-year-old that he really should let his cars and trains join in the fun. He runs ...
The holidays are notorious for people not eating the way they know they should. For us it was even more difficult because we've been staying with family for the last 3 and a half weeks, and not able to cook the way we normally would. Our families have been very accommodating, but they ...
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.
