photo © 2010 Lori Ann | more info (via: Wylio) Cloth diapering was once a thing of the past - something our grandmothers did because they had no other choice, not understanding why anyone in their right mind would choose to do it once the "amazing" invention of disposable diapers ...
Main Dishes
Last night's "make-it-up-as-you-go" adventure was a resounding success. Baked wild salmon with roasted red peppers and brie, served with caramelized onions and mushrooms, steamed peas, garlic spaghetti squash, and oven-roasted asparagus. I am someone who very much is in love with ...
Healing & Restricted Diets
It happened fast. We had been on GAPS for about 2.5 months, and then BAM! It hit us like a mack truck. The cravings, the inability to resist, the belief that it would be so worth it.... The last couple of weeks have been… guilt-inducing. A few weeks ago, we had tea with our landlady ...
Personal Essays on Marriage, Motherhood, & More
This post was originally published on March 25, 2010. I am recycling it today for your enjoyment, as it is so relevant to what I'm learning (still) in this season of life. *** A while ago I stumbled across this article online, but for the life of me, cannot remember how or ...
Healing & Restricted Diets
One of the biggest challenges to doing the GAPS Diet is when you need to be away from home for an extended time. It is sometimes difficult to explain the complexities of the diet (such as "the only oils we can use right now are homemade ghee, coconut oil, olive oil, or pastured ...
Healing & Restricted Diets
It seems that everyone (and their mother) has been asking me about how the diet is going. It’s actually been quite interesting having conversations with so many people who are interested in the concepts of the GAPS Diet, and who are more and more convinced that diet and health are ...
Healing & Restricted Diets
I'm finding it difficult to find the time to write a full "update on how it's going" post with regard to our journey on the GAPS Diet (though I'll be doing one in the next few days as we come up to the one-month mark). I do, however, love having my trusty little Nikon D60 close at ...
Healing & Restricted Diets
Since I first began thinking about doing the GAPS Diet for our family, I've often been asked what I would do with the issue of hospitality. When you are on a very restrictive diet, is there a place for hospitality anymore? What would I serve people? Soup and boiled eggs? What would I ...
Healing & Restricted Diets
It's day four of our family being on the GAP Diet (Intro). I can honestly say it's been a bit tumultuous. I was ill-prepared for the amount of die-off (where the bad bacteria that is overgrown in your gut begins to starve and die off) that would occur. I think I way underestimated ...
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.
