Sprinkle a little flaxseed into your day!

Q: What the heck is flaxseed and how will I ever get this past my kids?
A: A very nutritional natural product that has Omega3s, fiber and other good stuff that very easily goes into pancake mix and virtually has no flavor or otherwise identifiable qualities and has been easily sneaked into my kids meals.

Read more about its benefits - from fighting breast cancer to heart disease here.

Which brand? I personally like this one since it's ground up and easy to get into things:
Bog's Red Mill Organic Flaxseed Meal.

I bought my bag at Trader Joe's but have seen it at most major supermarkets.
Don't forget to refrigerate!

Green Your Halloween!!

Greetings Moms!
I think most of you will agree that Halloween is as big as - or bigger- than Christmas when you have kids!
If you want to "green" your Halloween check out some awesome tips from Healthy Child Healthy World - click here!

Now, I will admit that although the costumes are probably full of chemicals I do still buy them, although I try to limit the face masks and paint.

I do try to recycle costumes, pass on, take from others......and I will definitely hand out "good candy". I've been an adapter of pure chocolate in my house as of late. It is just a coco bean - grown on the earth - no dyes no added chemicals and no sticky-take-the-enamel-off-your-teeth worry (like fruit snacks), so I think I will be giving that out as well as maybe some Trader Joe's all natural treats. Boy, will I be popular with the kids!

Muahahahahahahhahaha. Happy Haunting!
