Why Mommy Meet-ups Are Actually Important

Why Mommy Meet-ups Are Actually Important

Last year I wrote a post, ‘Why I think mommy meet-ups are overrated.’ It’s funny how things change. At the time I was still a “newish” mom. Trying to find my confidence through learning to trust my intuition, which was difficult for me.

When Noble was a baby and I was a new mom I felt a tremendous amount of pressure. Looking back this was pressure that I put on myself. Always second guessing and judging myself.

Top Five Natural Health Trends 2017

Happy New Year! I love this time of year, a fresh start, new opportunities and possibilities. Although I’m not not a big believer of resolutions I do believe this is the ideal time for reflection and intention setting. A time to look back at last year, what went well, what did not and changes you would like to make in the year ahead.

Often these changes involve our health. More exercise, less sitting. More vegetables, less sugar. More sleep, less stress. To help set those healthy intentions we have identified the top five natural health trends for 2017.

So what are they?

How to survive Christmas with a toddler
With less than a week before the holidays as a mom of a toddler I will admit it does not always seem like the most wonderful time of the year. With the countdown on it seems as though there are not enough hours in the day to get through the never ending to do list.

Why is that we are able to turn such a special time of year into the most stressful time of year?

Being the Director of Communications and in-house holistic nutritionist at the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA) means that I have the opportunity to work on a lot of different projects. The last month (or so…) the majority of my time has been focused on our Save Our Supplements Campaign.

In case you have not already heard Health Canada is proposing some very scary changes to the regulations.  As a mom who uses supplements everyday I feel confident in the way these products are licensed by Health Canada and the fact that I know when I go to my local health food store the products I’m buying are safe, effective and of high-quality. Which is why I want to share this very important information from CHFA.

How to Celebrate Organic Week

Happy Organic Week! It’s Organic Week and this year there are more reasons than ever to celebrate as more and more Canadians across the country are choosing organic. Personally I choose organic because it reduces our exposure harmful chemicals such as herbicides and insecticides.

This is a good thing because these chemicals have been found to be carcinogenic, hormone-disrupting, and can even affect the development of children.
