Yesterday I attended a ConsciousParents.org birthday party where we helped the parents add some ConsciousParents.org touches to the celebration. It was a beautiful 80 degree day in southern California and the party was held at a local park. There was a playground and the parents had rented out one of the picnic areas […]
Birthday party goodie bags – friend or foe?
Is organic food worth it?
“I know eating organic is better, and what I would ideally do. But the store that is most convenient to me does not carry organic foods. I am too busy to drive out of the way to an organic store, plus, it’s a lot more expensive. Is it really that much better? Is it […]
Stop marketing junk food to my child
Finally took the time today to dig into this Huffington Post article I’ve seen several times in the last few days. I suggest reading it – not too long, but gets the point across. Check out this brief video that is featured in the article: This is such a vital issue to the health […]
Law of attraction tip: shift the attention to the positive
One of the struggles I face when parenting is feeling like I am saying no all the time. I have NO problem setting a boundary (see, there it is again! 🙂 ), I just don’t want to always be SAYING the word “no.” Even when my little one was a toddler (when that word […]
Eat a rainbow every day
Last year, I had the privilege of speaking to 24 of my daughter’s classmates at her Montessori school about nutrition. I wanted to make it fun, and simple, as the audience consisted of 3, 4 and 5 year olds. One of the most basic ways to teach children about healthy eating is to make it […]

The other day, my daughter and I spent the day at the San Diego Zoo. Long story short, I ended up at home at the end of the day, just having ordered some pizza to be delivered because I was too worn out to cook, and I realized I didn’t have my ATM card. Lost […]
An encouraging sign at Disneyland
The other day, my family journeyed to Disneyland for the day with friends who were visiting from out of town. It had been about 3 years since I had been last, with my then 3 year old. As we were walking around, the inevitable “I’m huuuungry” whine made its presence known. Somewhat dreading the experience, […]
A great tool for guidance
Speaking of angels, my favorite oracle deck is Doreen Virtue’s Daily Guidance from your Angels. This is a gorgeous set and I have several friends who also have deemed this their favorite of the ones they have used also. I love the sweet, positive messages, and the beautiful artwork. I seem to get very clear […]
Averting disaster (with a little help from the angels)
I was talking on the phone this morning with someone, and she was telling me about how she locked her keys in her car yesterday. It reminded me of this incredible story that happened to me many years ago, when my little one was only a year old. I was getting out of the car […]
