FAQ's & Definitions

I define a #clevermama as a mom who:

• Asks “Why?”. A lot! E.g. why is my child’s nose always snotty?
• A mom who, after asking “Why?”, sets out to find the solution in natural remedies (diet, lifestyle etc.) or natural medicine (homeopath, integrative, or functional medicine doctor)
• Reads ingredient labels AND wonders what those unpronounceable ingredients are AND wonders Why they are in there!
• Knows that food is either healing you or harming you
• Uses food as medicine
• Turns her kid’s favourite foods into nutrient-dense superfoods without them knowing.
• Oh yes – sneaks vegetables into nearly all meals (again, without her kids knowing). #sneakyveggies
• Applies the #wastenotwantnot principle. E.g. eggs shells are a great source of calcium. Boil them, grind them, sprinkle on food. No need for bottled calcium supplements.
• Knows that not all superfoods come in fancy packaging with a $$$ price tag – soil and sunshine being great examples of this!
• Manages her time, money and energy well by batch cooking, meal planning etc
• Sends herself for timeouts, not her kids.
