I’m not one to call out products usually but I am about to make an exception. Bleach, your days are numbered. Why so tough on bleach? I mean we’ve all been told how it is a must to keep our home germ free, right? Especially now with all of these nasty flus and viruses running […]
Category: Healthy Living
Healthy Living is where you can find more about how to live a healthy and sustainable lifestyle as well as how to better your emotional health. There are so many factors in our daily lives that all contribute to our overall health – nutrition, environment, products, stress, relationships, etc. – it is important for us to take a holistic look at how we can better our health in all we do.
Each week we will invite healthy living pros to come share tips and tricks we can all use to create a better environment for ourselves, our families and largely our world. Moms move the world: let’s make it a healthier one!
The Mommybites’ Healthy Living section is co-hosted by Mott’s and Mommybites. This partnership does not influence the content, topics or posts made on this blog. We always give our honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on all topics, products, and services.
Eat Healthy, Feel Great
“Eat Healthy, Feel Great” by William and Martha Sears and Christie Watts Kelly (Preschool and up) is an excellent educational book to read during mealtime (or any time of day). It’s a valuable book to have in your library because it can be a great resource to refer back to when trying to teach your […]
Eco-Movies You Should Watch Now
It’s cold outside where I live and there’s not much motivating me to get out and do. So I’ve been indoors, keeping a lower profile all while reading and doing home improvement projects (so cliche, I know). One thing that has come across my radar lately are the release of several new eco-movies that I […]

I know some of you feel overwhelmed by the amount of dos and don’ts when it comes to protecting yourself from cancer-causing substances and environments. It seems that everywhere we turn, there is a warning of “Do this and you will be at a higher risk for cancer.” It all seems like so much. Most […]
Running the Numbers: An American Self-Portrait
A picture is worth a thousand words, right? Well, there are some pictures that actually represent WAY more than words. Some are so arresting, they actually make you really stop and think – hopefully altering your future actions. Take, for example, the over 40 images created to depict how contemporary American culture uses everyday items. […]
Think Yourself Healthy in 2013
It’s not too late for a healthy 2013! New Year’s has come and gone and unfortunately, so have many of our resolutions. Statistics show that by now, most have either ditched their vows to eat healthy and lose weight altogether or have fallen a bit too far off course. So perhaps we’ve been approaching this all […]
Wheat Germ Pancakes
I made wheat germ pancakes on a whim one morning when on a quest for something healthy, hearty and sweet for breakfast. These pancakes are super healthy and taste sweet and slightly crunchy. The key to a slight crunch is placing the already cooked pancakes in the oven on a very low temperature while you […]
What to Do with Old Plastic Toys?
Ah, the holidays. It’s a time of family, food, vacations and gift giving. As we come off a week or so break from school and are trying to get our lives back into some sort of order, we often take stock of the kids’ loot they received over the holidays. Many times there is tons […]
