2020 update: We wrote this post a couple of winters ago, but many of you are in search of humidifiers because of Coronavirus. I hope this makes shopping for one easier!

For Felix’s tenth birthday, we surprised him with 4-day trip to Disney World with his cousins (who are his favorite people on this planet—he was actually more excited to see them than he was to be at Disney World, if that’s possible!).

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably gotten sick of my stories about my Sakara meals. (Sakara is a plant-based, organic meal-delivery service). They are so delicious and obviously very healthful, that I find myself wanting to snap a picture of every one. I’ve done a bunch of different versions of Sakara: four-week programs, three-day programs, a ten-day…
Children seem to move through “food kicks.” They’ll eat a particular food for a while and then a week later they suddenly stop liking it.

Would you guess that the product recommendation I struggle with most in my consulting practice is toilet paper?

For many years, our Thanksgiving meals did not include turkey. My vegetarian phase during the ‘80s and ‘90s inspired us to create imaginative and (usually) delicious “turkeys” crafted from tofu, seitan, or sometimes a hubbard squash! In recent years I’ve purchased organic, pastured turkeys but because Maia still won’t touch it, I make sure to…

Are you worried about pesticides in organic oatmeal? We have been fielding a lot of questions about Roundup in oat products since news of EWG’s study on glyphosate broke the other day.
