The research is slowly building, and I am here for it!
After all, they don’t call me the Vitamin D Queen for nothing. 😏
And remember, often times the generic recommended dose of 1000IU/day still leaves you deficient, but TEST DON’T GUESS because you can get too much of a good thing with this ☀️ fat soluble vitamin.
It’s a simple $55 blood test you can ask your ND or GP for.

“The study’s authors were particularly interested in studying vitamin D because they said there’s evidence to suggest it plays a role in COVID-19 infection. Vitamin D is a hormone produced by the kidneys, which controls blood calcium concentration and affects the function of the immune system.”

“And, although they didn’t establish an association between vitamin D deficiency and the severity of COVID-19, the study’s authors noted that the group of hospitalized patients who had been taking oral supplements prior to admission had slightly more favourable outcomes than those who didn’t take supplements before they were admitted to hospital, including lower ferritin levels, a decreased need for the immunosuppressive drug tocilizumab, and lower ICU admissions.”

Did you know Stress is relieved WITHIN MINUTES of exposure to nature 🍃 as measured by muscle tension, blood pressure, and brain activity. It significantly reduces your cortisol (stress hormone)

This weekend we went camping; we made amazing memories and laughed a lot. We swam, we rode bikes, we hiked, we made fires 🔥 ....we DIDN’T sleep. LOL.
Sleep was one thing we didn’t get a lot of 😩🤪.

The boys were just so excited to all be together in a tent, they could NOT settle down.
We’ve been camping since they were infants and this has always been a challenge; they are GREAT sleepers otherwise. 🙏🏼

Now I understand why every family I know with small kids seems to have a camp trailer/RV.

We are going 🏕 again in September so PLEASE SHARE ANY TIPS for getting kids to sleep in tents.

Things I might try next time; magnesium, chamomile lavender tea, and if we get really desperate... melatonin. 😉

🌲 “Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.” 🌲
Max Ehrmann

Felt very inspired by this quote, ✨ thank you

🏕 Who else has a camping trip booked for this summer!? We are crossing our fingers it will be safe/open to go! We have 2 booked; Algonquin and Killbear 🌲.
Where are you going and do you do 🏕 or trailer?

For us, this meant starting at the most basic level. Opening the conversation with our kids yesterday at the breakfast table...
I can’t sit back and assume that they’ll learn it somewhere else, or when their older.
Teaching equality and respect for others begins in the HOME, and it doesn’t have to be complicated.

Our kids are watching.

SHOW them through your actions. 🤗
TEACH them to love and have compassion for every human regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion.

I’m posting this in hopes that it stimulates conversation in your home.
Let’s create a generation of kids who are kind and open and accepting.

Do you guys have any good kids book recommendations on the topic of race/equality/kindness etc?

Anyone else succumb to snacks on the couch status!? 🍏 I try for non-messy foods as much as possible 🙄. High five to the parents out there who have kept the ‘food at the table rule’ 🙌🏼.
