Jan Murray Let's Talk Food and Immunity

I was speaking to Loraine, another mum of my vintage today, who has also raised 4 children (now young adults). We spoke about how we would start our baby's off on very small amounts of a variety of foods at a young age and we didn't have near the amount of food allergies as there is today. Over the last 6 years there has been a 500% increase in food related allergies. What is going wrong? There are many contributing thoughts and much research to back up why. 1. Holding off introducing foods f… Continue

Karen Schachter My Rant About The Media

Did you read the article in the New York times several months ago, “What’s Eating Our Kids? Fears About ‘Bad’ Foods”? My first thought was, “Oh my gosh, am I creating an eating disorder in my children because I am feeding them – and teaching them about – healthy foods?” And then it hit me: “PLEEEEAAASE…give me a break, media. Don’t you get it? YOU are making us crazy!” On the one hand, the media “feeds” us images upon images of the way girls and women (and boys and men) are “supposed to” look.… Continue

Lisa Hustad Happy Birthday To You!

Today, my baby turned 6 months old. It’s hard to believe, I feels like yesterday we brought her home from the hospital. Even though I have tried to savor every minute with Brooklyn as an infant, I can’t help but feel like I missed it all. Is 6 months when you stop saying you have an infant? More like a baby now, I suppose. Although she looks more and more grown up every day. Soon I will have two toddlers. Scary. For her 6 month birthday, I let her have some applesauce for breakfast. Just like ri… Continue

Lisa Hustad Why do my children hate eating when I love it so?

Wyatt has to be on of the pickiest eaters on the planet. It is no wonder at close to 40 inches tall, he still struggles to stay around the 32 pound mark. When Wyatt first started eating “grown up foods” he would eat just about anything I would cook for dinner. Then that week ended and we’ve been struggling ever since. Although we have made some breakthroughs recently (see the pork chop blog) it still is really hit-and-miss. Usually if he has skipped breakfast and refused lunch, he may eat a goo… Continue

Amanda Winters - A+ Plan A+ Plan July 2009 Newsletter - Only Judge Yourself, and Be The Best You Can Be

June was a month full of rain and judgements, and I'm not sure which I saw more of. From judgements about the way people look to judgements about whether a person is smart or strong enough to achieve their goals, judgement is harsh and hurtful. I myself have experienced judgement on several occasions over the past month. It reminds me of how we judge celebrities and their bodies when they're wearing bathing suits on the beach. You RARELY hear someone say, "She looks great!" It's either, "She's… Continue
