Healthier Birthday Cake For My One Year Old

Image
This month we celebrated my daughter Harley’s first birthday. Watching her turn one has been the highlight of my life. She loves to read books, listen to music, is almost walking, still breastfeeding 6 times a day (sometimes more and still in the middle of the night) and took her first sips of organic raw green juice just recently (she loves it, of course!) I am such a different mom than I ever imagined being… To say I am attached to her is an understatement! I take her wherever I go, including business trips and can’t imagine ever leaving her. When it was time to plan her 1st birthday, I didn’t follow the “guidelines” they suggest in parenting books.

Adjusting your pelvis instantly changes the mechanical environment of your sacroiliac (SI) joint, your pelvis, and your lumbar spine.” For improved sitting posture: Use a flat-seated chair (like a kitchen chair), or fill in your car’s bucket seat or desk chair with a rolled towel. Sit close to the edge of a chair. This rolls your pelvis forward, lifting the bone away from the chair.

Winter Produce Inspiration

Image
Summer gets LOTS of produce attention, but some of my favorites shine all winter! Kale, brussels sprouts, and squash get attention throughout the fall, but there are lots of other produce varieties out there that deserve some love! Mixing things up is part of a healthy and balanced diet . Not only does it keep your meals interesting and exciting, but it also makes sure you’re covering different nutrients, such as phytochemicals. So, today I bring you some ideas and recipes to keep you inspired with new flavors and ingredients you might not have thought to try. Earthy Turnips Turnips are related to broccoli and radishes and have a mild taste – making them a good addition to a variety of dishes. They mellow out when cooked, so try them roasted with olive oil + salt, or as a hearty and cheesy bake  ( like this one !) for a cold winter night. The turnip greens are edible as well! (You know one of my favorite country songs by Billy Currington sings “Thank God for good directions...
