To say that I’m antsy for spring this year is a pretty big understatement. My family moved into our beautiful new custom-built dream home on October 27 and while we’ve enjoyed every minute, we can’t wait to start landscaping and enjoying the six acres of land around our house.

So far, we’ve made plans to build our deck, seed our lawn and plant border trees along the perimeter of our property. I also bought bulbs for a cutting garden and I’m hoping to get the chance to plant strawberries and raspberries as well.

Needless to say, we’re going to be spending a lot of time outdoors when the weather warms up. [Read more…]

After almost three weeks of holiday parties, celebrations and fun, I am officially feeling the full effects of too much merriment. Not only do I feel more sluggish, I’ve also noticed that I’m dealing with more bloating and indigestion than usual. Considering all the rich holiday food I’ve been eating, that’s not surprising. But now it’s time to take control of my body again!

That’s why I started making a soothing Orange Naturals Peppermint Cinnamon Tea to enjoy every day before bed. With herbs that make it a tea for bloating, it has a delicious spicy flavour that’s perfect for a cold winter’s night.

Keep Bones Strong and Remember Your Daily Calcium Supplement with These 5 Tips

Did you know that one in three women will suffer a fractured bone due to osteoporosis in their lifetime? Or that both men and women start losing bone in their mid-thirties? November is Osteoporosis Awareness Month and as a mid-thirties woman, I’m happy not just that awareness is being brought to the disease, but that I’m leaning more about it as well.

As a fairly healthy woman, I try my best to make sure that I’m getting all the nutrients I need, including daily calcium and Vitamin D. And having just had a baby, I was extra vigilant about my daily dose of calcium the entire time I was pregnant.

But now that Baby Cormac has arrived, I have found that I’m not as good about remembering to get the calcium I need. With my baby taking up so much of my time, remembering to take two separate vitamins (my multi and my calcium) at different times seems to be more than I can manage!

So, what’s a new mom with a bad case of mom brain to do? Here’s my bullet-list of techniques that may help you remember to take that daily dose of calcium! [Read more…]

With Thanksgiving just having passed, gratitude is something that’s fresh in my mind. I’m so thankful to have an amazing and supportive husband, two helpful and intelligent older boys and, of course, a new baby for all of us to love and fawn over.

I’m also grateful that my family is usually quite hearty, so we don’t have to deal with sickness too often when the weather turns chilly. But if coughs and sniffles do strike, I’m going to be sure that I have Orange Naturals Cough+Cold tincture on hand to help us feel better faster!
