Healthy Child Summit Starts Today!
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. What if there was an online resource where parents could be educated, inspired, and empowered to care for their family naturally? What if there was a resource that provided concise, easily digestible information on a wide range of topics from pre-conception all the way through the teen years? What if this resource was FREE?...

Read MoreTop 10 Signs Your Family is on GAPS
As I was putting the capsule back together last night after taking my tiny dose of my new probiotic to minimize die off I was struck by the absurdity of it all. So I decided I would start a top ten list. Much of it gleaned from my own experience but I think that many of you can identify with this too. There might be a little exaggeration in here but then again there might not. *wink* 10. One probiotic capsule is enough for your whole family for a week. 9. You discover your 9 year olds unflushed poop and are glad that you have a chance to see it and evaluate it based on the bristol stool scale. 8. The vendors at the farmers market exclaim over your children’s love of various vegetables and offer them free samples...
Read MoreHow to Dehydrate Peppers to Preserve the Harvest
How to dehydrate Peppers and other summer foods and preserve the harvest into fall. My family has a lot of food restrictions. Especially my 5 year old. She actually will eat nearly every food that she tolerates unlike many 5 year olds. Unfortunately it is still quite restricted. One of her favorite foods is red pepper. Conventional red pepper is one of the worst foods as far as pesticide residue is concerned and so since it is a larger than average portion of her diet and her health is so fragile, it is important that the peppers that she eats are organic. In the wintertime it can be difficult to find organic red peppers and they are very expensive as well. Last summer we got a lot of peppers in our CSA boxes. More than she could eat in...
Read MoreHarvest Your Family’s Health with Ebooks!
I know that many of you are not just learning about real food and non-toxic living for yourself. You are also learning because you are a parent or want to be a parent or even because of your pets. This Harvest Your Health Bundle of Books has plenty of information for you too. Even if you aren’t on a grain free diet and don’t want to be this bundle may have a lot of valuable resource for you. I decided to become an author for this bundle after I had a chance to see a list of some of the other books in it. I knew that I would want to have my book associated with so many other great books. I also knew that I would feel really good about recommending these books to you, my readers. If...
Read MoreCraniosacral Therapy is Working Miracles in My House!
13 years ago I had surgery to treat my endometriosis. The surgery was extensive and I did not recover from it well at all. I was in constant pain, weak and frail. I rarely left my house because I was in so much pain. While I was still unable to work, I went to a massage therapist that my mother saw. My mother told me that this massage therapist had a type of massage that might really help me. I did not know what to expect. At first I was expecting a massage but when she told me to keep my clothes on I wasn’t sure what to think. What I experienced that day was a turning point in my healing from that surgery. I share more of this story in the book Trust Your Intuition (affiliate link). Lets see...
Read MoreBreastfeeding Revolution Online Summit
While my blog isn’t about breastfeeding or parenting, it is about health and my families journey and breastfeeding was a part of that. My children are no longer nursing but I still care very much about breastfeeding and the way that our society treats the subject. Of course breastfeeding isn’t always easy and our culture is full of “booby traps” that can catch even those who start off without issues.. Below is some information about this summit. I participated and shared about my own experience with breastfeeding two tongue tied babies. My interview is coming up on August 18th. If you are an expectant mom or a nursing mom I hope you will find some time to listen and learn from this collection of interviews all about nursing and making it work. -PattyLA What if you could sit down,...
Read MoreReal Food Book Bundle ~ GAPS Friendly And a Give Away Worth Over $325!
Nourished Living Network’s July eBook bundle theme is Real Food! Welcome to the monthly eBooks Bundle featuring eBooks authored by members of the Nourished Living Network. Each month, we feature a themed bundle of informative eBooks at a reduced price. Since I know that many of my readers are specifically interested in GAPS books, 2 of these books were written with GAPS in mind. Those two books together retail for $28.92 so it is like getting them for half price. The rest of the books aren’t GAPS specific but they will have recipes and ideas that apply in a GAPS kitchen. I also know that many of my readers are not on GAPS at this point in time. All of these books have healthy choices for your family no matter what dietary principles you follow.
