It’s something that people really don’t like to think about – the “what if’s” in life. But in reality, it’s very prudent to consider “what-if’s.” Here in the US it’s National Preparedness Month (September). The government is encouraging everybody to do at least a little bit of preparation for those “what-if’s.”
Now, my husband swears that [...]

This idyllic picture is not my kid. No, this heartwarming photo of a baby cheerfully looking forward to what his mum serves him looks nothing like the picture of me trying to get food into my baby.
The issue is not, however, that Galen refuses food. In fact, Galen seems to greatly enjoy some things. [...]
Welcome, Carnival of Breastfeeding readers!
Low milk supply seems surprisingly common in modern societies. There is heated debate about whether this was so in more traditional societies – I haven’t seen any answer convincing enough to allow me to weigh in on any side of the issue.

Our food challenge is done! I’m actually really pleased – it was a great learning experience for me. The health effects for everyone were very nice and the challenge was definitely worth it.
Now that we’re done I can say that we’ll stick with the traditional foods style of eating. Not 100% because that’s just hard [...]

I’m pleased to say I do not feel completely burned out this week like I did last week. Two things helped a lot – both things I considered in my last update.

First, soaking everything for the week at once then putting it in the fridge was a lifesaver. It really helped me because [...]

This week’s Real Food Wednesday is featuring “fast food.” I’m not talking about the BK down the street – this is all about food that’s good for you and you can make quickly. I’ve been looking forward to today to get some ideas for my own kitchen.
Some tips I’ve thought of are: keep [...]

The 30-day “traditional foods” food challenge is still going well in that we’re all on course (well, Scott ate one hard candy, but we won’t hold it against him… he also had me buy tortilla chips and salsa – but he hasn’t eaten any yet.)
I have been having major cravings too, to be fair. [...]

We’re well into the food challenge and definitely eating well. Everyone appears to be enjoying it thus far because traditional foods are incredibly tasty!
I haven’t noticed much difference in how I feel physically other than I find I tend to have a pleasantly full tummy most of the day. Moving from breakfast to the mid-morning [...]
