542. Top 5 Things I LOVED This Wk:

1. Mine and Eadie's obsession with Insta accounts that show people making Japanese bento lunchboxes like
2. Planning a week's worth of delicious dinners with my husband because we will be child-free until 7pm Friday night!
3. Puppy sitting the neighbours sausage dog. Every kid I walked past would gasp, point, then excitedly announce to their parent "It's a sausage dog!!!”
4. Having a rest day. No physical or mental exertion. Just stayed horizontal and finished off the rest of Bridgerton.
5. My beautiful online membership finally coming into fruition and going live tomorrow! Omg!!

PS. Gosh the mental process of putting a website out there has been a wild ride!!
The “What ifs”.
The constant “Maybe I should wait a bit longer until I've got more content on there”.
The imposter syndrome.

When I first started posting the recipes it would take me ten minutes per recipe. I would follow the 20 step guide and be swearing and sweating the whole time. Now I've got uploaded more than two hundred and I can do it with my eyes closed!

With each mental hurdle, I've reminded myself that I've been dreaming of something like this for so long. Hello Fire Horse energy... A special little corner of the internet to have something more permanent than a page. All my recipes in one place like an online cookbook and posting fun little minisodes to give deeper advice than what I ever would on here. It's not just "a website." It feels personal because it has a lot of heart.

As I was leaving a meeting with my web designer angel Mel last month, she said “Let it grow with you.” So I decided not to let the fear or procrastination take control and to aim for progress over perfection.

So tomorrow when my membership goes live, I invite you to come along for the ride and we will grow together. Let's have some fun! ✨

Have a beautiful week!

*EMMA EATS*
Balanced food for busy ppl!

I feel like I always have a good breakfast and dinner but my lunch game isn’t always as strong -especially protein-wise.

I love a hot lunch with minimal grains so on Sunday I made a butter chicken in the slow cooker and portioned it up into four containers. I’ve been having one for lunch each day and my kiddo even came home from school yesterday and ate one.

Just chicken thighs, tonnes of veg and a butter chicken sauce on high for 4 hrs!

*CURRENT OBSESSION*

Protein water is a sure fire way for me to drink an extra litre of water each day. 🙌🏽

I add 1 Tbsp to 1L of water then throw in ice and frozen passionfruit or frozen raspberries.

I’ve tried a bunch of different brands but this At Health one is my pick as it also contains electrolytes and digestive enzymes. Its colour comes from turmeric and beetroot and it’s dairy-free as it’s collagen based. This is the passion mango one and they also make a watermelon and a berry sorbet flavour.

Also gets the thumbs up from my gym-loving husband and sporty-gal tween 👍🏽

I grabbed this bag from Go Vita Park Beach Plaza which is where I work on Mondays so come and have a chat if you have more questions.

*MID-TERM CHECK IN*

How are your kiddos going, Mama?

Mid-term feels can look like:
-the initial excitement and novelty has worn off and reality has crept in
-school refusal in the mornings or crash outs at pick-up
-sniffly nose, sore belly, moodiness or headaches
-looking a bit flat and floppy

It's been bloody hot! Term one is packed with school photos, swimming carnivals, parent info nights and lots of try-outs for sporting teams. New teacher, new classroom. School camp. Learning, growing, socialising. Stepping outside their comfort zones. It's amazing and it's also a lot!

What can we as parents do to support our kiddos?
-Run them a bath with a cup of epsom salts
-Rub their little (or big!) feet with cream at night then pop socks on
-Massage a little lavender oil into their neck and shoulders before bed
-Cuddles or closeness
-Write a little note for their lunchbox
-Give them a treat you know they'll love. I bought a can of CocoCoast mango coconut water for my kiddo after she finished a big netball training session on Monday and her eyes lit up when she saw it in the fridge
-Set up a puzzle or game of chess so they can get off their screens and hang out
-Pour two cups of chamomile tea with a little honey, ask them what it's like to be an eleven year old and just listen
-Give them some grace
-Model what self-care and downtime looks like. This is how they learn to meet their own needs and their little nervous systems will co-regulate through ours

Most importantly, how are you doing Mama?

541. Top 5 Things I LOVED This Wk:

1. My husband catching a waft of moth balls and exclaiming “It smells like Nan!”It's so true. She used to have them in every corner of her house!
2. My kiddo finally being able to swallow a tablet. That was our goal over the Summer holidays. Random, I know but she's eleven now and apparently you can teach kids from the age of four or five. She's been practising with tissue salt tablets and tonight her eyes lit up and she announced "It's gone!"
3. Watching kids just being kids and enjoying unstructured play.
4. Ducking the house aka. My husband and I hiding one hundred tiny duck figurines for my kiddo to find. It was one of her birthday requests. She's going to be finding them until she's twelve!
5. My head absolutely bursting with ideas for the mini videos I'll be posting for the membership part of my website! Cooking demo's in my kitchen, deep dives into different health conditions, product reviews, etc! I'm even doing a special collab with a handsome exercise physiologist (my husbo) to do a series on weight loss! The list in my notes app is growing and growing!

Have a beautiful week!

I began my parenting journey eleven years ago yesterday, at 6:28pm to be exact.

As I reflect, I have become increasingly aware of what is available now compared to back then.

Back in the Dark Ages of 2015 (lol), Instagram was just for following friends rather than influencers, celebrities and businesses. Attachment parenting wasn't a whole identity and the “fourth trimester” focus was more on the baby than the mother.

Podcasts weren't even much of a thing and oh how I wish I could have listened to Beyond the Bump or Eat, Sleep, Repeat. The concept of vulnerability as a mother wasn't much of a thing until Constance Hall's honest posts went viral.

We weren't spending big bucks on trendy Arti Poppe carriers or different flavour sachets of electrolyte drinks for breastfeeding mums. Our advice was from midwives, mothers groups, books and blog posts. They hadn't even invented those silicone bibs that have the food catcher at the bottom yet!

This is sounding like I was parenting back in the 1800s but I feel like there is a theme of consumerism that is marketed at motherhood... Is it to keep up with other mums on socials? Do we really need to consume all this “stuff”? I'm not a new mum anymore but is all this accessibility to information helpful or overwhelming? Are all the products that are presented to mums actually self-care/wellness/fashion or pushing them to consume more? Maybe it's just increased awareness to what new mums need physically or emotionally?

What do you wish you had then that is around now? I'm intrigued and would love your thoughts on all this!

540. Top 5 Things I LOVED This Wk:

1. Bad Bunny's half time show. Oof.
2. A cafe date with my web designer, brainstorming and putting the finishing touches on the membership section of my website!! It is SO beautiful and turned out better that I could have ever imagined! It's refreshing to spend time working ON my business rather than just IN it.
3. Still saying Happy New Year to everyone and having indepth discussions about the Year of the Snake versus the Year of the Horse!
4. The chewy strawberry one in the Loco Love Valentines box. It was limited edition. How am I meant to live in a world where it doesn't exist?!
5. Making it through the first two weeks of term.

Emma the Naturopath xx

PS. Far out, those first two weeks of term were a challenge! The group chats to co-ordinate weekly sporting carpools, taking Cookie Custard to the vet, my husband and I came down with head colds on separate weeks, my birthday then a last minute birthday party with fourteen friends for Eadie, parent info night, school photos, the build up to the swimming carnival, a soccer semi final... Insert melting face emoji...

But it feels like the dust has settled now. That was the two week baptism of fire into term one. We don't need to live like we're on fire all the time.

Back to walks outside. Homemade food. Daily sunshine.

I see you mamas!

Have a beautiful week!

*CLINIC MUSINGS*

I've been seeing lots of skin infections in the clinic lately! They tend to really take off this time of year in the Summer heat. Plus little hands love to scratch and spread it around!

I know over the years I've seen my kid itching a "mozzie bite" then the next time you look it's a fully fledged skin infection!

I think the key is really trying to jump on it as early as possible.
-Take a photo once a day so you can track how it's going.
-Pop into your local chemist so the pharmacist can lay their eyes on it.
-Have a chat to your naturopath about boosting their little immune system. Maybe throw some homeopathics in there too.
-Be mindful of sugar and processed foods and pump up their garlic and fresh veggie intake.
-Opt for showers over baths and make sure everyone has their own towel.
-Book in with your GP if things are looking gross. I'm not against antibiotics whatsoever if bacterial infections aren't getting under control then we can do the gut repair after :)
