The idea of alternative medicine is half really interesting and half really terrifying. I’m a natural born sceptic, but I also don’t believe that Western medicine has exactly nailed it when it comes to treatment. In fact, my experience with doctors recently has been pretty negative. Before I received any form of treatment for my endometriosis, … Continue reading »
The more I embark on this healthy eating and cooking quest, the more I realize how difficult healthy eating really is.

Yes, I haven’t blogged in ages and it’s not because I’m a terrible person, it’s because I’ve been sick. Really sick, and I don’t want to blog about that…so on to other topics!

Thank you all for reading my last post about my daughter’s first school lunch! Since it was well received, you’ve encouraged me to post more on this topic. So, on her first day of school she came home without her lunch bag or containers. I’d just gotten nice containers of all different shapes and sizes … Continue reading »
So tomorrow is the big day for Anjie; it’s her first day of school. While I’m incredibly traumatized by this huge event in her life, I’m also very excited! One of the big questions that has been plaguing me has been what to pack for her lunch. She has been either with me or in … Continue reading »
