Fertility Health Check – How healthy are you?
As I have studied and explored the world of fertility health, one thing I have realized is that many women have no idea what factors in their lives could impact their fertility. Many times when we realize that we are having fertility difficulties, we run to the doctor to be officially diagnosed as “infertile.” What if before the two year point, women had the opportunity to take an objective look at their fertility health and begin to intentionally make …Read More »

Brazil and Microcephaly – The Real Facts
I spent hours this morning researching microcephaly, Brazil, and the Zika Virus. What I found is vital information. I honestly believe that this information needs to make it to the media and out to the world. Each party is trying to blame a different person and I cannot believe how little research was done about the chemical Pyriproxyfen before it was used in Brazil’s water supply. There is no excuse. Read on. The Real Facts about Brazil …Read More »
Infinity Glass Jar Review – Do they work?
I recently had the privilege of reviewing a set of ultraviolet Infinity glass jars. While I had not heard of this particular brand of ultraviolet glass jars before, I had heard about the technology of the deep purple glass. Basically, they propose that the tint of the glass keeps out harmful light and lets in beneficial light in order to keep the contents fresh. My question is . . . do they really work? History …Read More »
6 Reasons You Need to Quit Coffee For Good – Boholistic Mom
Why am I suggesting that you quit coffee? If you know me personally, you know that I adore coffee. I used to imbibe a cup (or two) of coffee each morning with cream and sugar. Then I lived in Italy for three years and consumed copious amounts of cappuccino, espresso, and macchiato. When we returned to the States, I tried my first Whole 30 . . . which worked great because it allowed you to have …Read More »

In this post, I will define what a doula is, what she does, and why you need one. What is a Doula? A doula is by historical Greek definition a “women’s servant.” She …Read More »
Natural Beauty Options: What Do I Use?
Natural Beauty Routine: What Do I Use? Let’s face it. Being holistic and natural about external beauty is difficult. So many products say that they are “organic” and “natural,” but for products that are not being consumed many of these claims are false. False is probably too soft of a word. Really . . . these products straight up lie. Some of them have nothing natural about them, but perhaps they contain a drop …Read More »
Should You Go See Vaxxed? Click to see.
Excerpt from a review about VAXXED that I wrote for Blissful Moments Doula blog today: “First of all, why would we cover a movie review of VAXXED: From Cover Up to Catastrophe on a doula blog?

Healthy Weight: What is it and how do I maintain it
We live in a society where mixed images of people fill our mind. We see stick figures parading around in fashionable clothes on a runway as the ideal mobile hanger for fashion. We see larger voluptuous women who are demanding to be recognized as beautiful and embraced for their size. We have people who are pear shaped, apple shaped, larger shouldered people, and people with medical problems. In the light of all of these shapes …Read More »
Modern Childbirth: My Story
7.19.2016 – Update to my story here – “Redeeming My Birth” Before getting pregnant, going through nine months eight months of carrying a child, having my water break, and ending up in the hospital, I really thought that childbirth was straight forward. You got pregnant, you grew a basketball, and you popped that sucker right out after 9 months. I knew there was a little pain behind it at the end, but women have been “birthin’ …Read More »
Revolutionary Resolutions – New Years Goals
While much of the time, I have tried to keep Boholistic Mom professional than the average blog and present it more like a website, as I write and share I’m learning how I can’t share with others about real food, bohemian style, natural lifestyle, and holistic faith without getting personal. I can’t really let you know how special this transformation has been in my life without opening up some doors and using a few “me” and …Read More »

My Real Food Timeline – How It All Started
My Real Food Timeline I started this Boholistic Mom website in 2013 to reach out to my friends, family, and any of those who were interested in real food like I was. Yet my real food timeline and journey started many years before that point.

3rd Grade Homeschool Curriculum for 2017
Throughout our time homeschooling, I have met many kinds of homeschooling families. Some mothers in those families hate choosing curriculum avoiding the process as if it were their most fearful nightmare and some mothers swim in curriculum as if they were surfing the waves in Hawaii. I am neither of those mothers. While I do enjoy looking for my curriculum, I do not like looking through ALL of the millions of choices out there. It can …Read More »
