Earlier this week, I was reminded of a life lesson… one of those, “I should know better” moments!
I got extremely caught up in the busy-ness of my day… of my life! On this one particular day, my to-do list was astronomical!
In the morning, I unexpectedly had to head in to the practice with the kids [...]
Lately, I’ve had lifestyle consultations with a number of women who are frustrated and fed up with not losing weight. They’ve made tremendous changes in their diets and yet they’re either not losing weight at all, or they’ve initially shed some fat but have now reached a plateau
The 2 biggest weight loss mistakes I’m seeing [...]
Today in the practice, a mom who was in a big hurry (redundant!) asked me to quickly identify what I thought to be the three biggest nutritional tips I could give her.
No pressure. No pressure!
Off the top of my head, these were the three biggies that I recommended would provide the most bang for the [...]
Did you see this article on the Yahoo home page today? It’s all about the importance of eating a nutritious breakfast and how restaurant breakfasts stack up.
I have one comment – eat your breakfast at home!!!
If you need to eat your breakfast in a restaurant, make sure it’s a place that offers fresh fruit as [...]
I recently read this excellent explanation of the ’small print’ when it comes to choosing the best omega-3 essential fatty acid fish oil product for you and your family.
This is an excerpt from the world’s foremost authority (in my opinion, anyway!) on Wellness. Dr. James Chestnut is the developer of the most pure and sufficient [...]
Nope, I’m not even talking about the presidential campaign!
I just saw yet another disgusting commercial that made my stomach turn. If you haven’t seen it already on TV or online, the Corn Refiners Association has started a massive marketing campaign to try to revamp the poor public image of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).
In my [...]
Yesterday I took the kids on a fantastic field trip! We went to Point Pelee National Park in Leamington, Ontario to see the Monarch butterflies as part of their annual migration.
We were fortunate enough to have the one-on-one attention of an incredibly knowledgable naturalist from the park. The kids ate him up! They were sucking [...]
I’ve wanted to write something about this for quite some time… but it has still been a bit too difficult for me. My mom – my best friend in the entire world – passed away early last winter as a result of breast cancer.
I have many strong opinions regarding the “business of cancer”, conventional/allopathic diagnosis [...]
Everybody’s asking me. I’m not sure if they all really care… if they’re just amused by it all… or if they secretly want to see me fall flat on my face!!!
Anyhow, overall it’s going really well! Crazy. Busy. Little time for mommy’s “me” time. But it’s all very, very good.
My kids are getting along much [...]
I’ve noticed an astronomical increase in the rate at which our produce is going ‘bad’ this summer. It’s making me nuts!! It seems to happen the most and the quickest with strawberries and green beans.
I’m not sure what the exact cause of the problem is. Regardless of where I purchase my produce, or whether I [...]
How long do you keep food in your fridge? Are you confident it’s still safe to eat?
Let’s assume that if it’s green and fuzzy (and has started walking on its own!), that it has definitely past its peak!
But, if your food isn’t showing the outward signs and smells of food that has gone bad, how [...]
