Healthy Eating-What are you doing?

Hi Mamas (and dads too)!After reading Lori's article about healthy eating, I thought it was a perfect start to a conversation. My kids are 8, 6, and 4 and I do everything I can to eat well and feed…Continue

Welcome, Cristie Ritz King

Cristie Ritz King

I am a wife and mother of three from Red Bank.  
While studying to become a Doula, I decided what I really wanted to help empower whole families so they could live richer, healthier lives. So I combined my birth work with a certification in Holistic Health Counseling and at Real Life Wellness I help busy people make simple, easy changes to live their best lives from birth and beyond. 
You can also find me writing about my own adventures in parenting and wellness all around the internet. I am a founding editor of the Jersey Moms Blog and The Right Hand Mom Blog.  When I want to get all that done in 140 characters or less, I'm on twitter  @ritzking

How to Cut an Avocado

Avocados are not only delicious, but they are a great source of nutrition as they contain over 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. Avocados sometimes get a bad rep because of their high calorie count, but they are a source of "good' fat and might even help you lose weight by helping you feel full and increasing metabolism. They're great for babies and kids as well as they're a superfood that is easy to mash and eat-perfect for early eaters! Sometimes buying the correct avocado can be…See More

NOT Gaining Holiday Weight

When I was an English teacher I tried never to work in the world of double negative. Now that I am a doula and health coach, working with pregnant women and busy moms trying to stay healthy and fit, sometimes double negatives are the only thing to rely on. I mean, of course, losing weight is better than NOT gaining, but I'm pretty realistic about such things and after 3 horrible weeks of hurricane fallout and heading into the most fattening six weeks of the year, the goal might just be instead…See More

"HI,  You can just call the hospital but I might ask at your doctor's office first. Sometimes they have paperwork there to get you started. Either way they'll know how to direct you.  Good luck! Cristie "

When Parenting Means Doing Stuff You Hate

It's that time of year again. Some people call it back to school, I call it last minute deadlines for stupid summer projects. I was a teacher for ten years. I still consider myself a teacher, as I spend most of my time teaching folks about either having babies or eating…See More
