I Just Had A Baby and I’m Pregnant Again!!
4 very tired months after delivering my first born son I became very sick and so tired. I was nursing regularly (it was my son’s only food source at the time). I had not had a period yet. I was exhausted (as all new parents are), did I say that already? After about 2 weeks of nausea and headaches, weight loss and feeling just plain yucky someone suggested I take a pregnancy test. No way, I thought…. I could not be pregnant again! Oh...
The Benefits Of Coconut Oil
Not too long ago I had a visit with my brother. I asked him what he thought of Coconut Oil. “Isn’t that the oil that is really bad for you?” was his reply. NO!!!!!

It is a ‘superfood’, it is amazing and does amazing things, but it is certainly...
My Emergency Cesarean Section
I was determined to give birth ‘the natural way’, with the drugs of course! My pregnancy had been perfectly normal. I had no idea what an emergency cesarean section even was! I had eaten way healthier than I ever thought possible and felt better than ever. I was totally ready for the big day… the delivery, counting the moments. So all of a sudden one night, two days after my due date, I felt a bit of water between my legs. I went and...

My Family Meal Plan Explained
I have incorporated a few things into my Family Meal Plan I do think it is very important to have family dinners together. The rule of thumb in my house is one meal a day together – which usually is dinner but sometimes not (albeit rarely!). It is nice to sit, eat together and chat about our day. We do a question at dinner that everyone has to answer, like “What was your favorite part of the day?” So I urge you to try to sit together...
Introducing Food to Babies
What a great time in life – discovering food! Tastes, textures, smells – it is all new and exciting! As the parent doing the introducing it can be equally as scary as it can be exciting. This is why it is super important to be sure to talk with your pediatrician BEFORE taking ANYONE’S advice – even mine! For us, by about four months of literally breast-feeding every 2 hours (and yes my child was putting on great amounts of weight – I...
Cooking Oil Facts
Cooking Oil 411 I used to think that oil was oil. I used it to sauté veggies, or in a recipe, or to make popcorn, not really on my radar. Then I heard about coconut oil & how it has so many benefits.http://t.co/LC9y5JeIdZ #healthyselves — Malibu Mama Loves (@MalibuMamaLoves) September 16, 2014 Really?

How To Get Kids To Eat Healthy
The Nightmare All parents live in fear that their kids are not eating enough or the right things or are eating too much. Some are afraid to give healthy snacks because they don’t want to be the boring parent, some are afraid of the ‘fancy’ snacks but choose to give them anyway – never mind that there are enough preservatives in that bag of cheesy nachos to keep a cat alive for almost 6 years… – but it is in a pretty package and...
