Simple wellness in a frantic world.
Natural Remedies
Last week, I shared my story of battling a throat infection with a natural remedy, and then suffering from a much worse secondary infection in my lymph nodes a couple of weeks later. I absolutely believe in the power and importance of natural remedies whenever possible, however I ...
Habits & Self-Care
The other day I made a loaf of bread. It took approximately ten seconds to mix, baked up beautifully, and tasted great. That's when it fully hit me: I've been on a crash course to healthy living burnout for the last year or so. It all started with a bread mix that I bought at ...
Healing & Restricted Diets
I have an announcement: I hate this diet. I am struggling big time. Here's the thing... it's honestly not just about junk food cravings. Allow me to explain? BEFORE Whole 30 We ate pretty decently before and had a few minor health issues but nothing huge (sometimes tummy rumblings, ...
Healing & Restricted Diets

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 ...
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 ...
Soups & Stews
There are endless variations on how to make soup, but the foundation of any good soup is always stock made from scratch. I want to share directions here for how to make a basic turkey or chicken stock, and my favourite recipe for turkey stew. The old advice to eat chicken soup when ...
Natural Remedies
Cough and cold season typically begins when autumn arrives. Being an eager beaver, my nose decided to get all stuffy and my throat a wee bit sore this past week. However, since doing GAPS this past winter, my immune system has been much stronger, and this is the first time I've been ...
Diet & Nutrition
I weigh about five pounds more than when I got married, eight years ago, and I have been pregnant and given birth twice (gaining about 50lbs each time). I was (and currently am) as slim as I could possibly have been without veering off into that "unhealthy" look. To be clear: I do NOT ...
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.
