Yesterday I attended a ConsciousParents.org birthday party where we helped the parents add some ConsciousParents.org touches to the celebration. It was a beautiful 80 degree day in southern California and the party was held at a local park. There was a playground and the parents had rented out one of the picnic areas […]
Birthday party goodie bags – friend or foe?
Stop marketing junk food to my child
Finally took the time today to dig into this Huffington Post article I’ve seen several times in the last few days. I suggest reading it – not too long, but gets the point across. Check out this brief video that is featured in the article: This is such a vital issue to the health […]
Law of attraction tip: shift the attention to the positive
One of the struggles I face when parenting is feeling like I am saying no all the time. I have NO problem setting a boundary (see, there it is again! 🙂 ), I just don’t want to always be SAYING the word “no.” Even when my little one was a toddler (when that word […]
Eat a rainbow every day

I’ve taught in-person seminars and teleclasses, and have spoken at companies as part of their wellness programs.
