| Tuesday, February 5, 2013 7:00PM Kids and Money -Teaching Financial Security to Our Children | Let's talk about how early to introduce your kids to money, why bother, and different approaches to "allowance". We would love to welcome all parents/caregivers to attend as this is a family decision and can be a point of contention. Heather DeGeorge will facilitate using her own research to help answer questions and offer guidance on what she feels is a topic worth discussing for our kids futures. Heather is a certified Holistic Health Coach who deals with general wellness and family management challenges as well as more serious health issues including the diabetes spectrum and childhood behavior and development issues. She has been working with families for 8 years and has been through most of what she focuses on first-hand in addition to being formally and informally or self-educated on them. Open to the public. |
| Member Highlight | | How long have you been a member of HMN? The 2012 HMN Christmas party was my 1st event and I joined shortly thereafter.
I am a holistic mom because: Having children inspires me to look deeper and deeper into how I have been living my life. This journey has enriched my existence as an individual, a mother and a wife. My children have really taught me to be mindful of how I take care of myself. By nurturing my body, mind and spirit, I become a better example for everyone in my house. I feel I am laying a healthy foundation for their future.
Your Holistic passions are? Energy Therapy, Movement meditation and yoga, wholesome healthy foods and homeopathy.
What inspires you about HMN or holistic living? Finding a community of women who share common ambitions and visions for ourselves, our families and our communities is wonderfully refreshing. It feels like I have found instant kinship. I look forward to the day that holistic living becomes commonplace! One of my favorite recipes: * 5 cups gluten-free certified oats of choice * 1/3 cup ground flax * 1/2 cup maple syrup * 1/3 cup oil of your choice (I use melted coconut oil.) * 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon * 3/4 teaspoon sea salt * 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (I use home-made corn-free or alcohol free Frontier brand) In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, place 1 1/2 cups of the oats. Process until a coarse oat flour is produced in a large mixing bowl, combine this oat flour with the remaining 3 1/2 cups of oats, the ground flax, maple syrup, oil, cinnamon, salt and vanilla. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and moistened. Spread onto a sheet pan coated with parchment paper, silpat mat or lightly oiled foil. Bake at 300 degrees for 35 - 50 mintues. Bake until crisp and golden brown. Cool completely on a sheet pan. Store in air-tight container. Maple-Flax Cluster Granola from freeeatsfood.com
