Seattle area girls! This post is for you. There are some FREE nutrition classes coming up that you’ll want to be part of. Looking to begin – and end – 2017 with healthier habits? Check out the 4-week January Jumpstart series at New Seasons Market! The last time I was in the […]
I was starting to feel a tad guilty about sharing another sweet holiday recipe, then I remembered how many people requested this at the wreath workshop. No guilt here! This cookie recipe is a family favorite- one that was passed from my sister to me many years ago and now […]
Seems only fitting that as I sit down to write this, the first snow is on the ground- all pretty and untouched, since it’s still dark outside. Really, I was hoping for more….which isn’t a surprise to many, since growing up north of Spokane made me practically crave a white winter. […]
As I sit down to share some photos and recipes from the recent Wreath Workshop, the house is quiet with sleeping children (Waaahoo! Better type fast! And quiet!) My favorite mug is next to me, filled with coffee and the heaters are roaring. Winter has definitely arrived-it’s frosty out there! […]
Happy Monday, friends! Let’s start the week off right by enjoying something warm, healthy and guaranteed to be loved by the kids….and their parents. Today I’m so happy to welcome Sapana from Real + Vibrant to the blog. This girl is an incredible cook and a truly outstanding example of […]
There’s this magical time that we all get every day : it’s called dinner. The great thing is, it doesn’t have to be a fancy meal around a fancy table to have the magic. It could be pizza at the white picnic tables at Costco, or a quick meal standing […]
Oh cauliflower, we’re seeing it pop up ALL over as a healthier alternative, aren’t we? Cauliflower mashed potatoes, cauliflower pizza crust, cauliflower alfredo sauce and cauliflower breadsticks—-just a few of the ways cauliflower is used in place of heavier foods. But is it really all that healthy?! Today I thought we’d […]
Recently this Mama of 3 little ones took her first solo rode-trip (ever!) to visit New Seasons Market in Portland. After featuring so many local farmers here on NW Healthy Mama, it was a dream come true to be in a store where the local grower/creator/small business owner is celebrated. […]
As I type this, our youngest wanders out, eyes half open, her curly hair pressed sleepily against her head. It’s early…and too dark outside for kids to be awake. We Moms don’t feel like we get much time alone sometimes, do we? Dreams of visiting a Pumpkin Patch this weekend […]
Throughout my years of coaching, I have worked with such a wide variety of women, backgrounds, fitness histories and different stages in life. It’s simply beautiful. Yet one thing appears to be consistent across the board: nutrition is the hardest part. It seems unanimous that knowing what foods to choose […]
Over the weekend, we did a huge family grocery shopping trip and of course, I couldn’t help but pick up my first Butternut Squash of the season. Ideally we would’ve grown it ourselves, but since we’re still waiting for a building permit (I need to write a post about building […]
Over the weekend we took a day trip to an apple farm, just north of Bellingham. Bellewood Acres was so much fun, I thought I’d share about it here, in case any of you are craving a fun day out with your family. Located about six miles from Bellingham, and […]
Welcome to the first Saturday of September. It’s mid-morning and I sit here, still in jammies, typing out this recipe for you all. Two kids are gone with Daddy to get new tires for the car and the other one is riding her trike around INSIDE the house, with her preschool shoes […]
Walking along a trail with a good friend this weekend, during one of our ladies hikes, we started talking about our kids nutrition. Stepping carefully over wet rocks and hoisting ourselves over down trees, we agreed how important it is for our kids to have great nutrition, but be able […]
