I have something special to share with you today. A children’s book that is particularly unique and heartfelt, and written by a fellow Canadian mom, Stefania Moffatt.

Reasons to Stop Eating Dairy
For 2013, why not do the one single thing that can have a huge impact on your health – DITCH dairy! When I got dairy out of my diet, it made the biggest difference in how I felt. At twenty my joints hurt, and my knees in particular were so stiff some days that it… Continue Reading

Motherhood, Vegan Parenting, and “Imposing Your Beliefs on Your Children”
I’ve been thinking a lot about being a mom lately. Partly because our eldest is turning eleven this week, and I cannot believe she is growing so quickly (don’t all moms say that? It’s true).
