"Elevate your Easter! - tips for creating a healthier celebration!'

Elevate your Easter celebration with a healthier twist that does not compromise on fun or flavour. Begin with mindful egg decorating, using natural dyes like beet juice, turmeric, and spinach to create vibrant, nourishing works of art. This not only adds a creative touch but also keeps the festivities eco-friendly and safe for everyone involved.

Turn your Easter brunch into a wholesome feast that pleases all taste buds, focusing on fresh fruits, whole grains, and protein-rich options such as veggie frittatas and quinoa salads. Indulging in homemade Easter treats like hot cross buns or carrot cake muffins adds a sweet note to your nourishing meal, making it a perfect blend of health and happiness. These small but meaningful adjustments ensure your Easter morning is as delicious as it is nutritious.

Conclude your celebration with an egg-cellent egg hunt, opting for high-quality, healthier alternatives like organic cocoa and dark chocolate to delight in the festivities without the guilt. Incorporate non-food items such as stickers or small toys for an inventive twist. Alongside, engage in active Easter activities like egg toss, scavenger hunts, or nature walks to keep the spirit uplifted and focused on wellbeing. This approach to Easter ensures a balance of joy, health, and reflection for a truly fulfilling celebration.

For the last 152 months, I have done something every single month without missing a month. Actually, I have purchased something every single month.

It is also from the same company every single month. Kind of unheard of that people are loyal to a product/company for 12+ years right?!

While that may sound like a lot to some people, for me it has led to the consistent health and wellness of my daughter - and ultimately our whole family. 🙏

How can failures lead to success?

Have you ever attempted something and 'failed'? 

Maybe an exam at school, maybe a business, maybe a parenting style. Whilst the word 'fail' makes many of us uneasy to use, many people use it daily. 

When you allow this type of vocabulary to move from a 'sometimes word', to a daily one...you are actually setting yourself up to fail.

"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up" 
Thomas Edison

Let's look at some examples of stories people play in their minds in a little more detail -

Cyberbullying 101

Even just typing the title of this blog out gives me chills.For many parents, it is a terrible daily occurrence to watch their child go through this.

For others who haven't yet had this happen at home, let me give you some of the basics to watch out for.

Think back to the moment you held your precious little cherub for the first time.

That sweet, pure, innocent little face. We want to give them the most beautiful life, the most precious experiences, and to feel love all the time.

The sad reality is as they grow we can't keep them in that beautiful cocoon of love and safety. They go to school, they make friends, they go to friends' houses, they hear the radio, they see the news, the outside influences may change them......and may even break them.

There are many of us now. The parents of children who have been cyberbullied....
