International Yoga Day was a couple of days ago and I couldn’t think of a better way to re-launch this blog, than by sharing my experiences from the last 5 months with you all.

Children eat what the family eats. As a family, we follow a meal and snack schedule. No snacking in between meals. All food is created equal. Everyone gets a bit of everything on their plate. My husband and I are generally healthy people when you compare us with the overall population. We rarely eat fast […]
