As a mother of a child with a food dye issue, the recent attention is something that we have been waiting for for years. On one hand, it’s amazing to see this topic gaining clout in the mainstream media and for people to actually take it seriously.  However, the sudden interest and validation because of mainstream media is also frustrating. I can’t tell you how many times over the years there have been negative comments, snide remarks, eye rolls over this topic when I have discussed the issue that we deal with firsthand.  This is a great opportunity to learn more and make really easy changes in your life that could be very impactful to the health of your family.

Grandma and Grandpa went to France and brought the Grandma and Grandpa went to France and brought the kids all kinds of fun candies. The ingredients are amazing. Real. And despite the fun , colorful  candies- there isn’t a drop of artificial color in sight. Because in Europe that would require a warning label. But not here. The nastier, more manufactured, more side effects the better. Make it make sense 🤦‍♀️

The 2023 lists are here! The EWG Dirty Dozen and C The 2023 lists are here! The EWG Dirty Dozen and Clean 15. 

Items on the Dirty Dozen list have the highest levels of pesticides and should be bought in organic quantities. The Clean 15 are items that tend to have lower levels of pesticides and conventional options are ok when organic isn’t available. 

What do you think of this year’s lists?

Trying to go low tox or add in cleaner beauty and personal care options? Start here! Ditch the Fragrance. It’s a nasty little secret hiding in products. 
 
Want to know about a specific product? Feel free to send me a message or ask the brand.  Natural fragrance can be a great alternative if done correctly but you often have to ask to find out the real story. Brands proud of what they are doing will share all of the info and answer your questions. Brands who don’t respond or say they can’t share fragrance info- 🚩 🚩🚩move on!

Realistic healthy lunch for a Kindergartener who d Realistic healthy lunch for a Kindergartener who doesn’t eat sandwiches, is on a protein strike and is generally having a super picky phase 😜

@planetbox makes it easy to see everything in his lunch. No rummaging through a lunch bag to figure out what’s being served. Keeping it 100% organic makes it healthier right off the bat. Packing in the organic berries and cucumbers ( notice the 1 mini carrot 😄) because those always are eaten. Found organic corn chips at @wholefoods, a @madegoodfoods bar, small box of raisins & almonds (good fats and fill him up). Every lunch needs a treat and these mini @hersheys organic bars are the perfect option. 

Until we move past this “selective” phase at least these are filling, wholesome foods that he will actually eat. You can send all the fancy foods you’d like in a lunchbox but if they don’t eat them no one wins.
