Avoid These 7 Foods and You’re Off To A Healthier New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Like me, you may have chosen to live healthier in many areas than you did in 2009. Stress, busy-ness, and fatigue all seem to contribute to poor attention to our health. Having a child in February, 2009 definitely put me off course in the area of regular exercise… Well I have [...]

Holistic Medicine-How a Flu Shot Almost Took a Life

You may have heard the story of Washington Redskins cheerleader Desiree Jennings who was injured by a flu shot vaccine; however, the mainstream media never gives you the complete story. Desiree was in the prime of her life (mid-20s) and she was an avid runner and athlete. Apparently, she received a flu shot and quickly [...]

Momsicles! Frozen Breastmilk Can Be a Delicious Treat For Baby

I have discovered how to make this frozen treat at just the right time! Joel has been teething a lot the past few days. Right now, at almost 9 months, he has two lower teeth and 2 top teeth coming in quickly(and boy is he crawling!). He has seemed to be a lot less fussy with these top teeth in comparison to the lower ones. I have occasionally used the Baby Safe Feeder and inserted frozen sweet potato puree, broccoli, and banana. He loves to chew on this and massage his gums while enjoying these new tastes. Today I ran across a site, Mother-2-Mother, where I found a recipe for frozen breastmilk popsicles. What is better than a frozen teether that is also nutritional?

Busy Completing My New eBook “The Psychology of Natural Childbirth!”

I have totally avoided the blogosphere for more than a month!! This summer, my husband Jeremy and I decided that it would be great if I wrote an eBook on my experience with Natural Childbirth. I learned SO MUCH while I was pregnant with my son Joel, so why not share all of that great information with other newly pregnant women who want options available with childbirth? So, I spent about 6 weeks this past summer writing 12 steps that I believe every woman can follow in order to have a beautiful, unmedicated birth (assuming the pregnancy is low-risk).

Tea Time! For Mom

As a mom, I am always looking for a quick and easy way to relax. There isn’t always a lot of time to take part in relaxation, but when I can relax I go for a good book and a cup of TEA! A fragrant mug of Lavender and Chamomile always does the trick… But [...]

Chiropractic and Pregnancy

Taking advantage of Chiropractic care during my pregnancy was very important to me. I began going to my Chiropractor at about 6 months of pregnancy due to some back pain from the pregnancy and my job as a dog groomer. Early one morning, at about 3 AM, I could not sleep because of a sharp [...]
