I think by now most of us have heard at least one reason why soda is just not that good for any of us to drink, but especially our kids.

How many times in your life has someone offered you a comforting bowl of chicken soup to nurse a cold? While my bowl of soup might have come straight out of a red and white can, I can say that I have fond memories of my mom gingerly carrying a bowl of steaming hot chicken noodle soup with a side of Ritz crackers to my “sick couch” – the only time we were permitted to eat in the living room!  Read more >

About Me: 

In a world that seems to be a bit topsy-turvy these days, I'm simply a mom trying my best to raise two wonderful children with solid values and a respect for themselves and the world around them.  I want them to have an appreciation for living an honest, healthy, well-balanced and joy-filled life – sometimes with what feels like against all odds.  I enjoy the hunt for great-tasting and nutritious "real" food -- none of that industrialized, food-like stuff and have a deep connection to family and meaningful friendships.
