How are you feeling?  

Are you inspired?  

Or tired?  

Or still getting organized so you can decide?  

I'll admit, I'm just getting into 2019 now, and...

I love the feeling that the year is new, full of possibility and opportunity!

I'm committed to making your child's awesome gut health simpler and more accessible than ever!  

Why?  

Because great gut health prevents anxiety and chronic meltdowns.  

Because great gut health trains a child's immune system to be balanced and resilient. …

Does your child get dirty?

I hope so! 

The dirt your kid plays in outside is full of amazing beneficial microbes!

Yep, teeny-tiny little friends.

The dirt that gets under fingernails, on knees and smeared across foreheads is:

• healing their gut

• brightening their mood

• and supporting their immune system!  

Awesome, right!?!

I love DIRT!  

So we get dirty around here.

However... the weather outside really is frightful!   

What do you do when no-one's making mud pies bec…

I love this time of year!  Though I long for the warmth and ease of summer, I also love the darkness, the bundling up, glowing windows in the evening and sparkling lights, flickering flames of candles, and gathering with family and friends.  

There’s the beauty and abundance, and also all the twists and turns and grief - yes, especially the grief - that has led me to exactly this moment  I have so much to be grateful for.

I'm so grateful for my healthy little boy!

Something's been bothering me.

I've noticed that in all the clients I work with, and in my own family and friends, there's a really important missing piece that's missing - and it's getting in the way of healing.  

Children are struggling every day with all those symptoms of gut issues - behavior and energy problems, horrific rashes, picky eating, constipation and diarrhea, allergies, asthma, headaches, belly aches and more - and they just don't have to suffer.  

Because children's bodies a…

Yesterday morning, I put some kraut out on the table, which is what I do at almost all of our breakfasts and dinners.  

And then - I had to grab my phone and record this:

Do you think that's totally crazy?

My kid likes fermented veggies, but this was a little over the top!  

When I thought about it, though, I realized he might have missed out on sauerkraut for a few days... so he was genuinely craving that probiotic-rich digestion support that's built into fermented veggi…

Can you believe we just had cupcakes for breakfast? 

My sister's and my childhood birthday pictures are blowing out candles at 5:30AM, pitch dark in the windows behind us, before my dad left for work... because my mom created a tradition of waking up the birthday person with glowing candles and presents and family singing happy birthday.  So they would feel celebrated from the second they woke up!

Of course, now that's what we do in my family!  We love it!!  Thanks, mom :)

We went on an autumn expedition yesterday!  

Golden leaves, orange pumpkins, blue sky, bicycles and friends… and a picnic lunch!

Here’s what I packed:

Veggie sticks and almond butter

• A jar of local, raw fermented pickles (with plenty of onions!)

• Tortillas

• Cashew cheese, smoked salmon (no sugar added), sliced turkey, avocado and cilantro sprouts for filings

• Raw figs, plantain chips, coconut-cooked sweet potato chips for snacks

• Raw, honey-sweetened c…

Here's a fun and practical gift for your child and you, April.

We LOVE our PlanetBox lunchboxes, dip containers, snack containers, water bottle, and lunch carrier!  

Yep, we're big fans and we use this stuff EVERY day.  

I prefer these high quality stainless steel lunch containers because I don't want the endocrine disrupting hormones in plastic riding into his body on a daily basis.  

And I actually ENJOY packing his lunches in these!  I make sure to have a few colorful veggies in the fri…
