The Connections We Share - Parenthood

Carol Newman believes in following a natural, organic lifestyle to get the energy and vitality needed to enjoy all of life’s possibilities. Each week during the BioGirl Health Show, Carol teaches you how to keep your body healthy inside and out, and today’s episode tackles both.

In this episode of the BioGirl Health Show, Carol joins host Kimberly Henrie and special guest Amy Lee from http://blog.theconnectionweshare.com/. A photographer with many talents under her belt, Amy’s blog is a must for all moms as it offers healthy snack ideas, photo tips, and kids’ crafts.

Why Worms Make Great Pets

The conversation kicks off with the question - why do worms make great pets? Amy answers the question in a way that is both informative and amusing, sharing anecdotes about her children and their squirmy animal friends.

This segues into the reason behind Amy’s blog. As she states, “Kids just want you to spend time with them.” Carol agrees that this is true, even though her son is now an adult. Some of the other information shared in the episode includes:

  • the many long-term benefits of doing crafts with kids
  • effects of feeling loved at home during childhood
  • why having kids doesn’t make mom lose her identity
  • and so much more!

Kids Are the Best Inspiration

Next the conversation turns to what led Amy to start blogging in the first place. Her blog covers everything from healthy snacks to photography tips. Kimberly’s favorite is “How to Take a Selfie with Your Kids”, which guarantees mom will show up in a few pictures.

Wrapping up the episode, the women discuss the importance of moms staying healthy, from both eating healthy and taking a quality multivitamin and supplement. One site that Carol recommends that has dosage for both parents and kids is www.docsbestmultivitamin.com. Tune in now to hear all about it!
