Monthly Chapter Meeting Best Parenting Resources Tuesday, August 10th, 7 - 9 pm | Today's parenting resources are many and everyone has an expert opinion on how we should raise our kids. But what works best for you, in your family? When you hit a rough parenting patch, where do you go for tried and true techniques that help pull it all together and get you over the hump? Join us for a discussion on favorite parenting techniques and resources. Bring your favorite parenting book or best piece of parenting advice to share with the group.

| Member Highlight | | How long have you been a member of Holistic Moms?: 3 months I am a holistic mom because: I deeply care about the health of my family and want to make sure I'm giving our girls the best start to life possible. Your holistic passions are: Healthy eating, vegetable gardening and edible landscaping, cloth diapering, recycling/upcycling, freezer meals, natural birth, Breastfeeding, co-sleeping.
What inspires you about HMN or holistic living? Having so many mama friends with a wealth of knowledge so caring and willing to help one another. It's inspiring to see the natural ways that God made our body to heal and work when we operate it with the natural tools He gave us. One of my favorite healthy recipes: For me, finding ways to make healthy food convenient is key for me since my husband and I both work full time so instead of sharing one recipe in particular I'll share some tips that work for our family. I always have tons of food that I make ahead and stick in the freezer: multiple versions of homemade soups in bags for lunches, freezer crockpot meals (fajitas, chicken tacos, and chicken tortilla soup were our favorites so far), steel cut oats pre-made in freezer bags, smoothie Popsicles, we have even grilled chicken, cut it into bite size pieces and freeze so it's easy to add to my daughter's lunch or a salad. I'm always looking for more ideas to make healthy eating convenient for a super busy family and would love to chat with anyone! |
