Healthy Food Choices
“Most kids, given a choice, would nibble
on snacks and sweets all day rather than
face a plate of healthy food. It is up to
us as parents to gently steer them in the
right direction by educating them from a
young age as to what will make their bodies strong and healthy.”
Silent Threats
“Water is often seen as a source of joy for children — splashing in the bath, playing in the pool, or helping water the garden. Yet, within the home environment, water can also be a silent and deadly hazard.”
Stop asking your kids “How was your day?”
“Have you noticed that when you
ask your children “how was your
day?” they answer with a monosyllable
– usually “fine” or “OK”.

to any information you hope to
get about them and the day they
had. In essence, you feel shut out.”
Raising Humans in an AI world

algorithm whispers in their ears and
suggests alternative life choices based on
what they clicked at breakfast.”
Lunch prep made easy
“Why letting your kids make their own lunches is the
smartest parenting move you’ll make…”
The Terrible Twos
“You don’t have to fix anything.
You are simply guiding thought
and action, working through the
situation with the child until they
can do it on their own…”
Presence, not just love
“Fathers rarely get to be really involved,
or even present, in the first three years of
their children’s lives, when they are home
– that’s where the magic happens. “
The cost of little pink feet
“Deciding to have a baby is by far the
biggest decision you’ll ever make.
It’s so exciting and a little terrifying all at the same time…”
Adenomy-who-sis?
“With Mother’s Day coming up, I would like to share the incredible story of how my mother saved my uterus.”
Discover the natural wonder of Aloe Vera
“Aloe vera is well known for its soothing and hydrating properties, especially during the winter months when skin can become dry and irritated.”
Confession Time
“If there was ever a moment when (without the deadliest judgement we all fear) I could confess all the deepest regrets I carry as a mom thus far, I would find it rather freeing to do so.”
