Set the Stage for a Lifetime of Healthy Eating
The debate over the chemical Bisphenol-A began raging about 6 years ago when my first son was an infant. At the time, BPA, as it’s called for short, was found in everything from hard plastic baby bottles to pacifiers, causing major concern. As the debate hit a fever pitch, companies (and even entire countries!) took [...]
While dreaming about motherhood and all of the amazing things that I imagined would come along with it, breastfeeding seemed so natural and beautiful. But what happens when it’s not as easy and natural as you expect? Breastfeeding just doesn’t come as simply to some as it does to others. I know as, sadly, I [...]
All About Tea for Tots As the weather gets cooler, I find myself pouring more and more cups of warm tea—for myself and my kids, too. That’s right! My kids drink tea. Non-caffeinated, of course. But still: I’ve gotten so many strange looks about serving my kids tea that I finally had to look into [...]
How was your self-esteem after giving birth to your child? Would a free spa treatment lighten your load and make you feel better about yourself? While we’re not in cahoots with the spa organization that put this infographic together, it does contain some pretty interesting information.

Throwing your child a birthday party can be a rite of passage for them, but it also means you’ll be throwing away a lot of paper and food waste. It can be hard on the environment, not to mention hard on your wallet. Expensive wrapping paper, paper plates and cups, ribbons and balloons, these are [...]

Not only did Mommy get an excellent workout, but her children had fun, too! Watch this video and let us [...]
As someone who is passionate about world travel, I am totally gun-shy about travelling with the kids. Now, the flying factor is an entirely different conversation-I’m speaking strictly from a pain threshold point-of-view. The year before my oldest daughter Gemma was born, my husband and I were particularly adventurous. We hung with the locals in [...]
Picnic season is here! That’s right, with summer quickly approaching, its time to enjoy the weather and eat al fresco! But things are a little bit different when have little ones it tow. I’m not saying that you can’t pack goat cheese and wine (of course you can!), but there are different considerations when packing [...]
I’ve written about Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs in the past, perhaps in a way that has led readers to believe that I’ve been a committed subscriber for years. In fact, I’m only weeks into my first farm share. And, as it turns out, I’m feeling pretty ambivalent. I worked that last sentence several times before deciding [...]
It’s the time of year when greenmarkets overflow with bounty and, if you want, you can get most of your produce from the locally produced offerings there. I love it—except for one lingering concern: many of the options at the farmer’s market are not organic. Not ideal with little eaters in the house. Making sense [...]
