Lettuce has become very expensive at the grocery store so why not try cabbage in a salad instead! Take a look at how quick and easy to prepare the coleslaw and dressing. If you attended a dropin this week or plan to go next week - we are giving away a free bag of carrots to take home - these are a tasty addition to coleslaw. What other foods do you like to add? I usually add an apple for some sweetness! So many possibilities! #coleslaw #cabbageischeap #eatingwellinpregnancy #winnipegpregnancy #winnipegparents #winnipegmoms #winnipegdads ...

We love to hear from current and past participants! Share your thoughts on the most challenging parts of pregnancy and/or parenting in the comments. Sometimes we feel like we are the only ones dealing with issues and it is amazing to realize we are not alone. One of my biggest challenges as a new parent was learning to manage on little sleep. In the end - my friend taught me to nap while the baby napped! Seems simple but when you are functioning on little sleep - solutions are hard to find! #shareyourthoughts #winnipegpregnancy #winnipegparent #Challenges #youarenotalone #winnipegbreastfeeding #winnipegmom #winnipegdad ...
