		<description><![CDATA[The concept of babywearing isn&#8217;t a new one, but it&#8217;s not a common practice among parents. Of course, caring for my infant daughters would have been easier eight years ago if I would have known that I could wear my child like a satchel. I could have avoided soreness in my arms and shoulders from having to carry children for five straight years &#8211; two girls born two years apart. But now I look back and wish I could have had the opportunity to invest into this practice. 1.

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t believe this. Expo West 2013 is old news by now, and here I am just getting around to publishing Part 2 of my favorite finds for Moms, after publishing Part 1 more than two months ago. Sheesh. Blame it on the packing and moving the whole family across the country, I guess. Well, I DID find some amazing gems there, so I will still share under the old &#8220;better-late-than-never&#8221; principle.

		<description><![CDATA[This is bad, this is really bad. I haven&#8217;t blogged in more than a month. Sigh. I have excuses, though. My main excuse is that I moved to the Midwest in early April with my hubby and the little Aple. Yes, I never thought I would leave California willingly, without being dragged kicked and screaming out of the state. But I got this great opportunity at work, and it meant working with a team based out of Philadelphia, and those SFO-PHL flights were just killing me. So why not just move out to Philly? Well, we have family here in &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://holisticmamas.com/ive-been-a-bad-bad-blogger-again">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Katy Care I have been trying a lot of natural hair care products and haven’t fallen in love with any of them until I found NATU hair care.  I was on a mission when I went to the Natural Products Expo; I wanted to find natural hair care products that did not have the harsh chemicals and made my hair look and feel great. The issue I have with the other products I tried was that my hair didn’t feel moisturized.   They made my hair look like a rat’s nest in the morning.  I’m sure it wouldn’t look like &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://holisticmamas.com/review-of-natural-hair-care-by-natu">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This year&#8217;s Expo West was a treasure trove. From new foods to new green inventions to new &#8220;drinkable&#8221; vitamins to new wellness beverages, there was something for every kind of naturally minded Mama. I have curated them for you in the next couple posts, starting with the best new foods. Best New Foods You know, at times I think it&#8217;s getting ridiculous. When you walk up and down the aisles stuffing your face at Expo West, you see all kind of &#8220;free&#8221; foods advertised. As in, &#8220;gluten-free,&#8221; &#8220;soy-free,&#8221; &#8220;GMO-free,&#8221; &#8220;nut-free,&#8221; etc. etc. As one guy next to me asked, &#8220;So &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://holisticmamas.com/mares-favorite-finds-for-moms-from-expowest-2013-part-1">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

This year, as with every year, I got all inspired by the people I met and the cool trends I observed. And this year, as with every year, I found lots of wonderful gems that I hope to be able to find on a nearby retail shelf sometime soon.

		<description><![CDATA[Another year, another crowded Expo West. This year was more crowded than ever before, in fact, hitting record numbers of attendees and exhibitors alike. The explosion of natural foods, natural beauty care, healthy beverages, and healthy supplements is not just breathtaking anymore&#8230;it&#8217;s downright mind-boggling. This year, I spent two days walking the entirety of the &#8220;Hot Products&#8221; pavilion and the &#8220;Next&#8221; pavilion, plus took on a bunch of appointments on the main floor, where all the vendors with the real money competed to outshine each other. By the end of it, my feet were begging for respite. Still, despite the pain, &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://holisticmamas.com/interesting-trends-from-expo-west-2013">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Your explanations are very clear. I think it&#8217;s the most informative site on essential oils that I&#8217;ve come across. The only oil I&#8217;ve ever used is tea tree but I&#8217;d really like to try more. &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://holisticmamas.com/reader-question-essential-oil-blend-for-bumpy-skin">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Aside from starting kids off at an early age with good eating habits, I believe that making food look fun and appetizing is key to getting them to enjoy eating healthy food. My Japanese heritage reinforced the importance of presentation of meals. Instead of fat and carbohydrate-laden, processed-food school lunches, you may have heard of the “bento-boxes” that Japanese moms make for their kids. Everything is carefully arranged, taking into account color, texture, size and shape of the food to create a work of art, almost too good to eat.

		<description><![CDATA[My husband and I have never had a problem with getting our daughter, who is now a teenager, to eat healthy food. We started early, just asking her to try new things and if she didn’t like it, she didn’t have to eat it. By the time she was 4, she would announce to anyone who asked, “I love broccoli, it’s like candy to me!” She also devours kale, brussel sprouts and cauliflower. Part of our strategy was to let her know the importance of good food to help her grow big and strong. She’s not so “big” at the &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://holisticmamas.com/guest-post-how-to-get-kids-to-eat-healthy-food-part-1">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
