Our favourite family activity is:Packing up the girls and heading to Florida for a week or two. My day is not complete without…Getting spit-up on, and placing an Amazon order. Since joining Yoga Mamas…I have become more confident doing day-to- day things with my girls in tow.

Every Mama who welcomes a baby into her life soon graduates from her trusty purse to a (seemingly bottomless) diaper bag! Among the hair elastics and other little treasures that find their way into her bag, there will always be a handful of essentials that Mama just can’t live without! In our weekly blog series for April, “What’s In My (Diaper) Bag”, we’ve asked three Mamas to share their top 5 diaper bag must-haves. Alyssa loves to travel, and with a 9 month old no less! We asked Alyssa to share a bit about herself in this fun Q&A, and to reveal the products she and Baby Fynn take on the go: Our favourite family activity is...Travel! We took Fynn on his first flight when he was six weeks old and he has a nice little collection of passport stamps already. I get really nervous before we leave (what if he cries nonstop on the plane?), but he's usually a super trooper, and my husband and I always come home feeling more confident as new parents. My day is not complete without…Dessert. Since joining Yoga Mamas…I feel like part of an amazing community! I've lived in a few different neighbourhoods in Toronto, and despite growing up near the city I didn't feel super attached to it until I joined Yoga Mamas and started a family. Besides being a woman, my super power is…Getting a batch of chocolate chip cookies in the oven for unexpected guests in under 10 minutes! Most people don't know that I…Met my husband on the set of the worst made for TV movie ever. Alyssa's Top 5 Diaper Bag Items:1. Love Child Organics snacks

3. Skip Hop Wet/Dry Bag
4. Tinted Lip Balm
5. Baby Sunglasses

See what practical, not to mention beautiful, baby essentials our Yoga Mamas team added to our customized bag at the beginning of the “What’s In My (Diaper) Bag” series! Written by Kathrin BrunnerThe start of a new season can be a wonderful time to set positive intentions and to make healthier shifts for you and your family. We’ve all felt what a difference it can make in our bodies and our minds when we’re eating well. If eating clean is something new for you, try to approach each new day as an opportunity to feel great and don’t dismay if you slip. Health is an evolving journey, not a rule book! To help you on your journey, here’s my top 5 tips for eating clean this spring: 1) Start smart!Begin each day with a glass of warm or room temperature water. You can add fresh lemon juice, a splash of apple cider vinegar or turn it into an herbal tea. Water is an essential part of your body and is crucial for the proper functioning of your muscles and your brain. On the flip side, dehydration can lead to constipation, headaches, joint pain, dull skin and poor concentration. Starting your day with good hydration is one the simplest, yet most profound changes you can make. 2) Emphasize whole foods.Refined and processed foods contain only a fraction of the original goodness of the whole food and this can often lead to empty calories, blood sugar imbalances and added synthetic preservatives. Emphasize whole grains instead of refined flours. A great swap for processed cereals and breads in the morning would be porridges using quinoa, millet or amaranth. For rushed starts, overnight oats or chia puddings can be an easy grab-and-go. Instead of packing juice boxes, emphasize whole fruits. Instead of granola and energy bars, make your own trail mix. 3) Get Spicy!One of the simplest way to add a powerful boost to nutrition is to use more herbs and spices. Full of antioxidants and phytonutrients that promote skin health, better digestion, mental clarity, detoxification and cancer prevention, herbs and spices really are the best example of using food as medicine. Try adding cinnamon, cardamom and ginger to breakfast porridges, smoothies or teas. Add fresh herbs, like mint, cilantro, parsley, oregano and dill, to salads and soups. Try out recipes that feature new flavours to slowly build up your palette and your spice cupboard. 4) Eat a variety of probiotic-rich foods.The microbiome is a hot topic in the nutrition world and for good reason. With probiotic bacteria being linked to digestive, immune and mental health, adding more fermented foods into your diet can made a drastic change in health. To get the most benefit, aim to include a small serving daily and include a variety of fermented foods throughout the week. When buying, choose brands that include living cultures (avoid items that have been pasteurized, these items will be in the fridge section). Some easy foods to start will include kimchi, krauts, kombucha, kefir, lacto-fermented pickles and miso. If you’re ready to try making your own you can learn with me in one of fermenting workshops, or here’s a link to my video on how to brew kombucha at home. 5) Switch to natural personal care and cleaning products.Just as important as what you put in your body is what you put on it. Your skin absorbs up to 60% of what you put on it into your bloodstream within 15 minutes, so really what you put on your body is just as important as what’s on your fork! From laundry soaps to eye shadow, our bodies are exposed to countless chemicals that can cause respiratory issues, headaches, skin outbreaks and even muck with our hormones. I love the Think Dirty app as a great tool for finding out what’s in your products and recommendations for cleaner and greener ones.
