7 Preservative-Free Cereals to Replace Your Family Faves

Healthier Substitutes to Consider On Your Next Trip to the Grocery Store

Preservative-Free Cereals to Replace Your Family Faves

Not long ago, I wrote a post about Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT), why it may be in your favourite cereals, and how to avoid it. Since then, I have received a few messages from readers saying that they would like to start buying cereals that do not contain this and other artificial preservatives but they weren’t sure where to start or how to find versions of their children’s favourites (and theirs!) that were BHT-free.

Sleeping Over at the Hospital: A Caregiver’s Guide

How to Take Care of Yourself When You Are Needed Most

“Self-care is not selfish. You cannot serve from an empty vessel.”

-Eleanor Brownn

Recently our son spent five nights at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario following a very successful heart operation. Despite a bounty of overnight medical staff, I refused to sleep at home until it was certain that he was in the clear. Luckily I had the support to be able to do this — thank you grandparents — and my husband was able to switch spots with me later in the week.

Through your pregnancy, you can still be safe and continue to DIY. Here's how! | YummyMummyClub.ca

Erin Trafford is a former radio and television broadcast journalist turned DIY blogger; who's obsessed with all things paint and power tools. She's made over entire rooms for less than $500, is frequently seen hauling dilapidated furniture off the curb, and is incredibly proud of the day she decided to nail her old back yard fence to her basement wall.

She love dogs, cats, Han Solo and pie – probably in that order. Erin and her (incredibly patient) husband Dan bought their little house by the sea in 2013, just outside of Halifax, Nova Scotia. They have been working tirelessly since then to turn it into a castle, one project and one blog post at a time. You can find all their bloggy and house adventures over at DIY Passion. This year they are adding a baby into the blogging and DIY mix, expecting the arrival of their first child in the Fall.
