Healthy Child Summit

Have you ever felt overwhelmed when it comes to making the best choices for your family?


With all the hidden dangers lurking in our food supply, water supply, products we use daily, and even just in the environment, more and more parents are choosing to live a simpler, more natural lifestyle. But making the transition is enough to make any parent's head spin. And what about those soon-to-be parents who are just beginning their journey? All the research, websites, and books lead to information overload.

We love our babies, and most of us need to show love to our bodies. Get the best of both worlds when you strap on your favorite carrier and join Kelli Roschak, Mama and creator of the workout, in her Babywearing Workout. Enjoy getting your sweat on while keeping baby happy, and maybe even getting them to sleep! The video starts out with some handy wearing tips and eases baby into the moving groove. I am especially fond of how she modifies mid movement to adapt to her child's needs.

The workout is simple enough, the benefits coming from getting you up and moving and the continued weight resistance as your baby grows. None of the movements are jarring or difficult. You may need to modify for yourself, but the exercises involved are easy to do that with. L3 mostly had a blast, I just hope Kelli comes up with a back wearing video next!



Our Rafflecopter entry system is now open.

MANDATORY ENTRY: In the box provided in the first Rafflecopter entry, tell us where you would have your prize shipped if you are one of the winners. You must enter your name and email address while leaving a comment in the Rafflecopter system for your entry to count.

This is part of a larger giveaway hosted by Natural Parents Network. You may enter the whole giveaway at one site only, and we'll be recording IP addresses to ensure that there are no duplicate entries. That said, please do visit and enjoy all of the participating sites!

Please note that each entrant can win only one prize, and NPN will be randomly assigning prizes to the winners. One of the giveaway questions asks which are your top five prizes so we can try to match winners to their preferences.

Wordless Wednesday: August 22nd, 2012

You know we are big on food here. This week we were glad to have the chance to explore the farm our organic produce delivery comes from.

Our box this week came with an apple called Pink Pearl. We were all surprised by it!

Building wooden boats. 

Very focused on the hand drill.





Not sure how he knew what that was. *I* sure as heck don't iron regularly ever.

Not much is better looking than a babywearing man.
L2 has recently rediscovered how nice it is to be carried.

It is World Breastfeeding Week! What better way to kick it off than to do so 175ft over Puget Sound?
