This giveaway is now closed. Congrats Ericka!
I'm less than ten pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight (as in before my 4 year old son was born) and while I'm so proud to have gotten this far, I've definitely hit a plateau. And, of course, my body does not resemble it's former 20-something self. I'm not always as consistent with my workout schedule and while I wor...

I have taught and modeled healthy eating habits for my children since they were born. Â Fruits and vegetables were my children's first foods, and while they definitely don't eat every piece of produce I place on their plate, they manage to consume a colorful variety of foods.
Juice is one of those foods (err...drinks) that I go back and forth with. Â I enjoy dr... Read More »

I don't think I know a single person who isn't overwhelmed by the sheer number of vitamins, minerals, and supplements on the market. Â Because I'm nursing my daughter, I continue to take prenatal vitamins. Â But as I begin to wean her, my needs will change and I'll likely switch over to a multi-vitamin formulated for women. Â The questions start to arise. Â Which mult... Read More »

Our diet, overall, is really quite simple. On any given day, we as a family consume chicken breast, fish, whole grains, fruit, and veggies. While it sounds simple and perhaps boring, we prepare these foods in a variety of ways so that our children are exposed to diverse, ethnic cuisines. We avoid trans fats, preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, and ingredien...

It's the most important meal of the day and my favorite meal of the day. Yet, children are still going to school without breakfast. I know how difficult it is to get two kids dressed, fed, and out the door in the mornings. But I do whatever it takes, including waking up early or being late, to ensure my son has breakfast every single day.
For the last few mon... Read More »

I wish there was a product...some device that would tell me what I should and shouldn't eat. It would take into account my dietary intolerances, my food preferences and my lifestyle. I could access it while on the go at fast food restaurants and the grocery store. Maybe it would even have the ability to compare prices and provide nutritional information...
I re... Read More »

There are moments when I feel like reading a nutrition label is more like a science experiment. It's come down to this...if I can't understand it, I don't buy it (generally...unless I'm having a craving!). We've managed to simplify our shopping routine simply by avoiding the following: high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, MSG, dyes, and trans fats.  E...

I'm extremely passionate about feeding my family wholesome, natural foods, free from artificial ingredients/preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, trans fats, hydrogenated oils, and MSG. I was talking to a few moms last week about what we do and don't eat.Â... Read More »

I went to a certain market today (it's one of my favorites) and I gasped when I saw the price for one avocado...$1.69! I absolutely adore eating avocados...but almost $2...for ONE? It wasn't even organic! Must. Keep. Searching.
I digressed...Did you know that avocados are the perfect first food for infants? I didn't! And I'm assuming they don't mean guacamole... Read More »

One of the things I find challenging about parenting is feeding my toddler. In fact, since my son was a baby I've found mealtime a bit difficult. My goal has always been to provide him with fresh, healthy, all-natural, organic (when possible) foods. From the simple pu... Read More »

When I was pregnant with my son, I remember all of the do's and don'ts particularly when it came to eating. When my son was born I thought...finally...I can eat and drink whatever I want. Except that I nursed my son for 13 months. While nursing gave me more freedom than pregnancy, I still felt the weight of unwritten restrictions.
I can barely go a day without te... Read More »
