Have you ever had a gut feeling about something? Have you ever gotten butterflies in your stomach before a stressful event? Those feeling aren’t just in your head (at least not entirely). Your brain is in constant communication with gut through something called the “gut-brain axis,” and this connection is a two way street. The … Read more
Searching for some natural remedies for allergy relief? Up until a few months ago, allergies weren’t even on my radar. Having lived most of my life in Canada where summer was here and gone in the blink of an eye, I honestly had never experienced a single sniffle with the change of seasons. Then we … Read more
It’s that time of year again—back to school! Whether your kids are going back to school in person (lucky you), are attending “virtual classrooms,” or will be homeschooling, they’re going to need something to wear! I don’t know about your kids, but mine seem to have grown like weeds over the summer months. There must … Read more
Do you ever stress about what your kids are (or aren’t) eating? Do you worry that they’re missing certain nutrients because of picky eating? I feel you pain!!! Our oldest son is on the spectrum, our daughter has food intolerances and changes what she likes on a daily basis, and our youngest son has sensory … Read more
“I hate this house” my oldest son screamed as he ran out the door with his hands covering his ears. We had just walked into a large gathering of families from our church and before we could even say hello, our son had already decided he’d had enough of that house. Bright lights, strong smells, … Read more
If you asked me what my three favorite hobbies are, I’d probably say cruising the ocean on my SUP, thrifting, and researching gut health. I know, I probably sound super boring and nerdy for that last one, but there’s just so much about the gut microbiome that I find absolutely fascinating. I’ll give you a … Read more

When we learned that the country would be shutting down thanks to Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, my first thought wasn’t “do I have enough toilet paper” or even “how am I going to manage homeschooling and a full-time job at home.” Nope. My first thought was “how am I going to keep my little man on … Read more
Short on cash? Can’t find a babysitter? Practicing social distancing? Whatever the reason, being stuck inside doesn’t mean you can’t have a fun or romantic date night at home. In fact, dating your partner even though the circumstances aren’t ideal strengthens your relationship in ways that a typical date night can’t. Instead of letting hardships … Read more
I’ve had a lot of different jobs over the years. I’ve worked full-time as a nurse outside of the home, worked part-time running my own holistic nutrition and coaching business inside of the home, and even had a couple of years of being a 100% SAHM (stay-at-home-Mom). Over the last year, I’ve been working full-time … Read more
If you had told any of us that millions of schools would be closed because of a crazy virus that was sweeping across the world, we probably wouldn’t have believed you. March 2020 will always be remembered as the month that schools around the world closed their doors to students with no end date in … Read more
Spring is in the air! Can you feel it? What’s not to love about waking up to the sound of birds chirping, enjoying extra hours of sunlight, and fewer socks to pair in the laundry! After months of being cooped up inside a stuffy home, it’s finally time to open up those windows and let … Read more
