Are you ready for the holidays? NO WAY!

Good! Me Neither!

Let’s start by saying you’re busy.

Meal planning has gone out the window.

There’s tons of family gatherings & school parties here where I live.  Where you live it may be the same OR the total opposite and you’re STILL IN FRIGGIN LOCKDOWN - ugh.  First, if you are, please let me know so I can pray for your sanity - send me a message on IG and tell me where you’re from and what it’s like so I can pray more specifically for your town.

Let me gift you this gratitude guide in case you’re not on my email list and didn’t get it earlier this month!

This is something new that I’m so excited to share with you this holiday season! This 30 Day guide includes family recipes, activities, and daily challenges to build and bring together your family. I’ve included in-person activities as well as virtual ones! Feel free to share the challenge with your family, near and...

Learning how to manage your time & energy as a mom can help you get things done on time & also stay sane! 

As a mom of 2 girls, I use to let the day run me, instead of me running the day! Then I found myself running around, trying to play catch up & trying to get back in better spirits! 

We all know that morning time: run out the door anxiety that can stick with us through the rest of the day..NO THANK YOU! 

Here are 5 Tips that will save you Time & your Energy as a busy mom! 

Get things done the night before: This refers to packing lunches, laying clothes out, etc the night before! How simple is it when you have their clothes laid out ready to go instead of digging through drawers when you could be spending your time in a better way! 

 I find that when I have their lunches packed it not only saves me time, but I also am able to put more time & effort into their lunches! I am able to provide healthier choices, than just throwing a...

Here is one short and simple tip that changed my life when I became a mom to two. 

In the weeks leading up to our second daughter joining this world, I was nervous. Our older daughter had just turned 2.5 and was at what I found to be her most fun stage yet. She was talking with me, playing games, being creative with play, and I overall LOVED to spend time with her.  I knew that was going to change, and I knew she was going to still want that time.

This concern about time was soon to be relieved.  A good friend of mine had become a mom to two and she said that one of the best tips she had been given and wanted to pass along to me was to give my first child 5-20 minutes of undivided attention after our baby had arrived.  

Short, and Simple.  That's all it took for both my older daughter and myself to find fulfillment.  The evening time after our infant went to bed became play time for a minimum of 5 minutes up to 20...

What do I feed my toddler?  My child is picky, how do I get them to try new things? What do you feed your 2-3 year old?  I get asked these questions often.  As a health coach who shares on Instagram or Facebook all the healthy meals I'm eating, one would assume I just do the same meals or force our daughter to eat healthy 100% of the time too, right?  Ehh sorta...

So here's how it really is in our house.  My daughter has gone through a CHEESE ONLY phase where that's all she wanted - that was tough, but by just not having it in the house for her, she HAD to eat other foods. So that's one recommendation I give to my friends when they have a child that only wants one thing...don't buy the one thing. You'll go through a short period of complaining, but if it's a habit that needs to be stopped, like a chain smoker and her cigs, go cold turkey on it.  Okay maybe not that extreme ;) make it a little easier and if they are old enough offer two other...
