I remember the first time I walked into to shop at Whole Foods Market. I was quite honestly nervous. I thought I wouldn’t find anything for me because it would be too expensive or that it wasn’t going to meet my needs in some way. But I was so wrong. There was a little bit…
On our whole30 journey, our family learned to love POM juice. While the magical fruit has always been a favorite even with our super young early-eaters, it was like manna in the desert to be able to sip some sweet juice. And it never got old. But we started adding limes to it, and mixing…

I sat down in my Boston home some time back in December, and started scrolling through Facebook. “On this day” popped up and I was suddenly was reminded of the chaos the previous year had brought. We lost my grandad, had a pet run away, and I gave birth to a daughter all in the…
We don’t let our kids eat food with sugar in it until after they’re two. And yet my nearly four-year-old loves it. Because don’t we all? So even though she’s a great eater, I have been working on a nutrition learning theme that teaches children about food but also works to drastically reduce sugar intake in…
As I was loading up our shopping cart with quick and easy foods to eat that didn’t have added sugar in them and were healthy for our family, my husband suggested that we try to make our own no bake protein ball recipe or experiment to find an energy bite recipe we loved. So we…
Many of you have been asking how Whole30 is going for us. And while I wasn’t planning on doing weekly updates, apparently that’s what you guys are craving. And our first weeks have been very insightful. While I prepped for the “How will I feel on day 4 of whole30?” questions, there was a lot…
My daughter, unfortunately, loves bread just as much as the next preschooler. And while she actually does love veggies, some days are more of a struggle tan others. So to ring in the holiday season we decided to make some personal Christmas pizza bites and decorate them to look like Santa Hats, Christmas Trees, and…
While many of us have fallen in love with Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang over the years, it’s a new generation of kids getting introduced to their shenanigans. The Peanuts Movie, released on November 6, is sure to be a family favorite with all the fun characters we have come to know! Introduce your children to…
I know so many people that want to do a Whole30 month or longer, but have kids and feel like it’s impossible; either because they don’t think their kdis would eat it, or because they think doing it without their kids involved would be too tempting. The reality is your kids should absolutely do Whole30…
Last night my daughter and I spent some time in the kitchen together. It was a fun time to get her more involved in cooking because we decided to make some homemade crab cakes. They turned out delicious and was something that she loved eating as well as making. She enjoyed that they were more like…
Have you heard of the ezpz mat? There are different kinds, but each one is a place mat that suctions to the the table (or any flat surface). They are seriously one of the best inventions for kids (and adults) because they not only help create less of a mess, but they are very versatile…
