Helping Moms Raise Kids With Special Needs
I’m interested in nutrition and one of the things that I’d like to know if diet prevents Alzheimer’s and dementia. This issue is very personal to me. My mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s back in 2003, had it for many, many years before her death. It robbed Mom of her joy and her ability to enjoy her grandchildren. In fact, she barely knew Zoe at all. Not only
More than 5 years ago, I set out on a journey to detox my family. While most detox makes you think of eating cleaner foods, after a while it occurred to me that maybe food wasn’t the only problem. Could I need to also detox my house? Here are my thoughts from February, 2012, more than a year after we’d healed my daughter of her sleep
Going gluten-free or dairy-free can help relieve symptoms that are common in kids with special needs. The autism diet can have benefits, but it’s not easy. Part of my mission is to help parents with kids that can benefit from this diet. This post contains affiliate links. As far as I can tell, that means everyone who has tried this lifestyle.

If you’re watching your kid’s diet so that they don’t eat food that will make them melt down, you know how tricky it can be if you are not affected by those same foods.

This was a long and crazy month, with very little school, my first-ever vacation / conference in Florida in November, and then 4 Million Hours Of Cooking Food The Kids Didn’t Eat, holiday in the Poconos, Black Friday (disappointing shopping), and of course, we kicked it all off with Hurricane Sandy. Somehow I got screwed out of a birthday dinner at Bahama Breeze AND a
As you know, I’m constantly on the quest for great, delicious, nutritious food for my family and myself that is also allergen-free. I was delighted to be invited to YumUniverse.com, launching it’s Lifetime YumUniverse membership today! What is YumUniverse? Lots of people have been telling me about plant-based and raw diets, and our family has pretty much been eating paleo for the last 2 years. The problem
Wonder how moms will also benefit from going gluten free along with their kids? Check out my video:
In my part of the world, school does not start until Tuesday. We’ve had a *mess* of good news this week, including a new job for hubby, so we are taking a few days to celebrate and spending a short weekend at Hershey. I still have things to buy for school, like rain boots/coats/pants, and hand sanitizer, and sectional lunch containers (plus ice packs). Supplies
So in my continuing battle to improve the brains and social skills of my children, I feel a lot of times like I do today: that it’s uphill and it’s not getting anywhere. I have obstacles to overcome, such as: a definite lack of time. This is an issue that will improve soon, but even then I might just be too dog-tired. everything’s complicated. Going
