As you're enjoying the first fresh days of the new year, and setting intentions and reflecting on what was great (and not so great) about the year passed, don't forget to listen to your body and honour its very specific needs at the beginning of a new cycle.

Somewhere along the line, however,… Continue reading Playing the Traffic Light Game + teaching your kids about Life Food vs. Labelled Food

When our darling son (DS) was 2 years old, we started to wonder about his interest - disinterest, rather - in food. Since birth DS had been a gorgeous chubby baby. My husband joked that I fed him cream, not breast milk. It was obviously good stuff as DS wasn't interested in solid food, at… Continue reading A 2-year old’s disinterest in food – uh oh!
