Last week post swim lessons, as we watched our kids take in the water at their own pace and leisure in the wading pool, I asked Andrea if she had any blog ideas for me. In response she asked if I had a good Tomato Pie recipe- why yes, yes I do! I […]
We here at NW Healthy Mama were offered the super cool opportunity from Sasquatch Books to get a first look at The Hands-On Home by Erica Strauss of Northwest Edible Life, which is available for purchase starting today. The book showed up on my doorstep a few weeks ago, which […]
This last weekend, we found an absolute treasure of a family hiking spot up near Bellingham. Squires Lake, makes me want to grab a megaphone and shout from the rooftops, because I know so many of my friends want to hike with their families, but finding a trail that’s both […]
Before we get started, I’d like to first of all give a big shout of love and thanks to those of you who responded to the questions last week! It’s definitely not too late to join the conversation, in case you’re just now having a few moments to catch up! One of […]
As the leaves change and we begin to see our summer gardens come to an end, there’s one crop in particular that comes to my mind. Garlic! Of all the things I’ve grown, consistently garlic has been the easiest and most reliable. Plus, it’s so easy to store and I […]
It’s funny- before I had kids, I had a whole series of vitamins and omega supplements I took on a regular basis. I always had known I’d be a Mom someday and to prepare myself for those years, I wanted to be as healthy as possible. Then I had 3 […]
Some recipes need a lengthy explanation, a long ingredient list and important step-by-step instructions, in order for it to turn out right. This recipe is NOT one of those. These Gluten Free No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars were created while I was in the kitchen with my kids on a […]
As summer turns to fall, there is nothing I enjoy more than kicking up the heat in my recipes. This vegetarian dish combines basic vegetables most households have on hand at all times. The canned coconut milk makes it a quick and easy recipe for the novice chef. Don’t be scared to […]
Welcome to the first ever NW Healthy Mama Book Club! One of our readers suggested we do this and I thought it was a great idea, so here we are! In my first post about the book club, I gave you all a list of 7 different books. You voted […]
When we decided to homeschool this year, one of the things that appealed to me is being able to do more “regular” life with our kids. I wanted to include them in the kitchen more and feel less rushed when teaching them things like how to crack an egg and […]
Dear Mama at the Strawberry Barn, I know it’s been several weeks since strawberry season, but you and your little girls keep coming to my mind. I was so impressed with them, and with you, as you brought the boxes of berries that you had picked that morning to be weighed. I loved how […]
What an absolute thrill it is to have Rebecca Walsh guest posting for us today! Rebecca is a crazy hiking Mom who hauls her two young children up and down mountains almost daily. She owns Just Trails, with her husband and writes trail guides in Southeastern Wyoming and Northern Colorado. Rebecca also runs […]
This last week was a total dozy of emotions for me, not because I had a child start or go back to school but because all of you did and you posted about it (which you can and should because you’re proud of your kiddos and they are all so […]
Three years ago I uploaded my very first instagram photo; a cheery yellow sunflower sitting on my kitchen table. I added a filter and thought it was the fanciest thing I’d ever done on social media. I didn’t know about hashtags, and I only had maybe 30 ‘followers’. So when […]
