Tune in or stream live this Saturday, June 21 at 4pm for Real Parenting on CFAX 1070.

The Green Mama

Did you know that the air inside our homes and buildings can be two to five times more polluted than the outside air? Often it is the spaces our children frequent that are the most polluted – old school buildings, daycare spaces and our own home nurseries! Tune in to hear my guest Manda Aufochs Gillespie explain why this is and how to make our homes healthier.

Vancouver based author of The Green Mama: Giving your child a healthy start and greener future, Manda Aufochs Gillespie, is a consultant, writer, environmentalist, and mother. She has worked in the “green” field for more than fifteen years, engaging directly with hundreds of parents through green living classes, consulting for homes and businesses, and through her writing.

Victoria with Kids

Victoria with Kids is an EAT PLAY SHOP guide to Victoria, British Columbia. This charming little book is a collection of off-the-beaten-track places that people who live (eat shop and play) in Victoria go to with their children. Great family friendly little cafes, where the food is good, and quick.  Unique boutiques and toy stores, great playgrounds, beaches, and parks.  All sorts of good information so that you will see the best of Victoria, and that you and your kids will have a great time.

Lhasa Heatherington is a Victoria born and raised mother of 2 little boys as well as author of Victoria with Kids, Eat Play Shop: an essential guide for cool parents and their children.  When not globetrotting with her little brood she can be found pushing swings, wiping noses, and trying to sneak in a little iPhone time at a playground near you.
