FamilyNutrition, Life Thoughts and Adventures

Hi, I'm Coreen Ward.

Welcome to my blog.

I am a mother to one sweet boy,

wife to one supportive husband,

owner of one crazy hairless cat,

and an explorer to one adventurous life.

I teach pilates and am a nutrition enthusiast with a fascination for functional medicine.

I love sharing nutrition tips, recipes and creative solutions for the whole family.
