My passion is to help other busy moms raise happy, healthy families. The chaos of family life can make it a real challenge to eat healthy and be active. That’s why I spend a lot of time trying different things. When I find something that works, I share it with you. Here’s a collection of all of my healthy family tips.

Dieting
In general, I don’t support “dieting.” Rather than watching the numbers on the scale, I believe it’s healthier to focus on giving my body what it needs and avoiding what it doesn’t. However, if you are at an unhealthy weight, weight loss will be a side benefit of healthy eating and these tips can help.

This is a great round-up of recipes! I love that you’ve compiled them all in one place.
Love this compilation of health tips! I especially appreciate the recipe section for picky eaters. Out of 4 kids, I only have one that is picky and of course, it’s the last one. I don’t make him a special plate but it would be nice to have some dishes that he doesn’t turn his nose up to.
