The Thing About Lunch…
At the end of last school year, throughout the summer, and at the beginning of this school year, I had my sights set on a big project: to figure out the science behind packing school lunch. These were my goals: Eat fewer school lunches Add variety to packed lunches Make the lunch packing process easy and efficient. I spent a good amount of time gathering ideas on Pinterest, including sandwich-free lunches, setups that let the kids pack their own lunch each … Read entire article »

Happy Tot Greek Yogurt Smoothies Review
My kids just barely missed the advent of food in a pouch. It started with baby food, but my kids were already chomping baby carrots by then. I remember when I first started spotting itty bitties sucking applesauce out of a pouch, it reminded me of when a street vendor in Belize City tried to sell Craig and I water in a bag. We were like, “Uh, no thanks?!”, only to find that that was … Read entire article »

After School Snack: Banana Stacks!
It is always such a joy to share Kristen Feola’s writing on my blog – I can always depend on her for something nourishing, whether it be for the heart or the tummy. Today it’s the latter! “Can I have a snack?” If you’re a parent, you’ve probably fielded this question more times than you can count. I know I have.

3 Day Juice Cleanse/Fast: Part 1 – The Process
Right around New Year’s I was doing some Pinterest WORK when I came across a pin for Dr. Oz’s 3 Day Detox Cleanse. I have been interested in doing a juice detox cleanse for quite some time, and especially so since my hormones went all haywire when I stopped taking birth control. I asked Craig, half jokingly, if he wanted to do a juice cleanse, and he said simply, “Yes.” So, I started researching. I … Read entire article »

To All the Whos Down in Who-ville: Helping Newtown, CT
It was late in the day on Friday when I heard the news of what had happened in Newtown. I was bombarded with posts on Facebook when I sat down at my desk after a day of meetings. One of the posts was a link to a petition for stronger gun control laws. I signed it and posted it in my own news feed. My post didn’t draw much attention, but the comments I did get were all negative, chiding me for pushing an “agenda”, for being disrespectful to the victims, and for implying that it was the gun’s fault. Now, if you know me well, you would know that none of these things were my intention. I am not a politician, so I don’t operate on an agenda. I operate … Read entire article »
