March Inspiration & Giveaway Winner

March has been an incredibly busy month and one full of inspiration. I launched my brand new eBook, The Grain Free Lunch Box and I was overwhelmed by the positive feedback following the launch.

The Healthy Life Summit provided oodles of inspiration through March. I learnt about the importance of magnesium, about healing eczema, about monitoring my metabolism and other vital information related to my family's health from the 35 speakers who presented at The Healthy Life Summit.

Here's a taste of what's been inspiring me through March:

• Summer is drawing to a close here in Australia (though not before a heat wave a couple of weeks back!) and this Easy Banana Chai Ice Cream Recipe from Empowered Sustenance was a welcome treat to cool us down from the heat.
• The kids loved the Cranberry Orange Nut Cookies from Nourished For Free. I love when a cookie is full of nourishing ingredients, so enjoying them is actually good for you!
• Unchained Sunday shared a recipe for Hot Cocoa with an interesting list of possible additions. My favorite is cinnamon - what's yours? 
• How to make butter and buttermilk from Thank Your Body gives you all the info needed to make your own butter and buttermilk, which can be incredibly rewarding.
• We're in the midst of Passover at the moment, and I've been referring to the post at Homemade Mommy with 36 Recipes For Passover.
• Granny's Vital Vittles shared an informative post exploring How Long People Lived 100 Years Ago. It's a topic I've often wondered about. 
• Treat Growing Pains Naturally from Kids Love Acupuncture is an interesting read to help your kids cope with growing pains.
• When my kids are a little older I'll definitely be following Nourishing Minimalism's advice to have a Chore Jar to get the kids to help out around the house.
• If you've wondered about how to balance hormones naturally then check out this post from Cheeseslave for 5 Tips For Balancing Hormones Naturally.
• Empowered Sustenance shared how to use good fats, which provides an in depth look at which fats are good, how to use them and which fats to avoid.
• We feed our family a natural, unprocessed diet but it hadn't even ocurred to me to feed a natural diet to my feline baby, until I read Why You Should Stop Feeding Your Dog Dog Food from Fearless Eating. Now I'm looking into natural alternatives to nourish my feline baby. 
• This Ultimate Guide To Natural Sweeteners from Our Nourishing Roots is a helpful reference of which sweeteners to include in your cooking, and which to avoid.
