It’s Halloween!? DO ALL THE FALL FAMILY FUN!!! #BornOnTheFarm
Spring Has Sprung, and We’re Giving Away a Kitchenaid (and more)! #BornOnTheFarm
It’s funny. Although it has been a mild winter compared to last year, this year seemed rougher. February in particular was a dark and dank month. The weather was unpleasant, people were isolated, and it just. Dragged. On. But hey, the sun is coming back, the grass is green, and the weather was even tolerably nice…
Onion and Cottage Cheese Scones #BornOnTheFarm
This cold that’s been going around is so yucky, the winter has been so dreary, and I’ve felt like such a shut-in, I admit I haven’t taken as much joy as I usually do in things like baking and cooking. Or anything. The result is that we’ve been eating less healthy, and that has just…
Resolutions I Can Live With (+ Maybe Keep)
I’m not generally a fan of New Year’s resolutions, at least not for myself. It’s not that I’m against them in theory – self-improvement is awesome – but in practice they tend to end up at the bottom of my priority list. This year, the resolutions I’ve made are more for kidlet than me, but…
I’m Giving A Gift of Food For This Year #BornOnTheFarm
Good morning readers! I’ve got a gift to give away to one lucky person, and some amazing, life-changing news to share.
Two Ingredient Vegan Healthy Instant Blueberry Ice Cream
This five-minute vegan, sugar-free instant ice cream, made with just two ingredients, was one of those “necessity is the mother of invention” products. My frustration level with allergy-friendly ice cream and popsicles hit maximum during the spate of 40 celcius weather we’ve been having. There’s a crap-ton of coconut ice cream out there on the market….
How to have an Allergy-Friendly (and Healthier!) Easter Egg Hunt
Not only is Easter an annual sugar-bender for kids, it can be a real challenge to moms of children with food allergies–especially if the child is allergic to milk–and food allergies are becoming an ever-increasing problem. It’s tough to strike a balance between fun and healthy eating habits. So here’s some tips on being allergy-friendly,…
That Time My Kid Touched a Kit Kat and Could Have Died (a Story About Life with Food Allergies)
The bus my six-year-old son rides finally pulls up to where I am waiting; it is 10 minutes late. Every time it is late, I worry that there has been an incident, especially when I have heard sirens anywhere in the area. It’s a fairly low-grade fear, however; I live in a city of 500,000…
Why Vitamins Maybe Aren’t Such a Waste of Money
The vitamin supplement industry has been a little under fire recently, with many hopping the bandwagon that in North America, with all the food advantages that we have plus a little “outdoor time” thrown in, they’re not required. All well and good, except for one thing: I’m not sure that all children in North America are getting…
Thankful Things (A Near Death Experience)
Today, I’m thankful that an accident at Thanksgiving didn’t cost me my son’s life. I am thankful to Pfizer, who makes the EpiPen–an auto-injector that may be responsible for the positive outcome of yesterday. I am thankful that my husband remained cool enough under fire and was brave enough to administer my son’s EpiPen while I was calling…
