    How to get Resources to Start a Business

    May 24, 2023 / No Comments

    Ahh… The feeling of scarcity/lack… A lot of people get hung up here, especially in the beginning because maybe you’re starting out with next to nothing (in your eyes).  You don’t have two nickels to rub together (finances), you don’t really know anyone (connections), you aren’t sure which tools/apps/programs to utilize and how (we’ll discuss this one more in depth later, but I encourage you to check out my Facebook group where I am creating Guides – one of which is a free resource guide! When you sign up for my Newsletter below, I’ll automatically send you the link to join!), and you just feel overwhelmed and underprepared – sound…

    Have you heard of Pearson’s Law? It states that, “When performance is measured, performance improves. When performance is measured and reported back, the rate of improvement accelerates.” If you have children or are around any frequently you probably have observed that, while they’re growing up right before your eyes, you don’t really notice the little changes in height, weight and other nearly imperceptible changes that happen slowly yet continuously throughout youth. The law of familiarity at play. However, those who aren’t regulars in your child’s life such as distant relatives, community members and those we only see on occasion seem to be blown away at the rapid changes they perceive…

    The drive behind all human behavior.  Seems a little presumptuous to assume all humans can be lumped into a box with this one, but once broken down you’ll see how it all can be linked back to just two major forces.  Two forces that have the power to really make or break you.  Understanding what they are, how they deeply affect us, why they affect us and what we can do about them is going to help us leverage them to our advantage to actually give us that Motivation that we desire, stop procrastinating and start making real and lasting change in our lives.

    Is Multitasking Harming You?

    March 29, 2023 / No Comments

    Multitasking.  Ah, how I used to brag about my ability to do so.  In my mind, it was a “mom thing” or, at the very least, a “woman thing”.  I felt pridefully superior to my husband and pretty much everyone else in our home because I “could balance” so many plates.  I was the image of Efficiency.  But once I realized that – not only was my balancing act a sham (we sure had a lot of broken plates over the years) – but also that I was completely drained of energy at the end of every day, I began to think my husband was right. You see, he would…

    Girl Scout Caramel DeLites / Samoa Cookies Copycat Recipe | Plant-Based, GF, No Refined Sugar

    March 26, 2023 / No Comments

    Rarely do I come across a recipe that checks all the boxes, and even when it comes close, I find myself altering things slightly based upon our tastes/dietary-needs. I prefer to stay away from Refined Sugar and sweeten our drinks & food with natural sources like: Local Raw Honey, Real Maple Syrup, Coconut Sugar & Dates… I used to be a big consumer of Monk Fruit back in my Keto days, but I’m no longer a fan and prefer to stick to foods as close to their natural state as possible. I recently came across a post for 3 ingredient, raw Samoa cookies, and it got me craving them. Once…

    Advocating for the Birth You Want and Deserve There is much to be said about having a voice.  Regardless of what subject we’re talking about, having a say in the matter (when it concerns you and/or those you love) is paramount for many reasons.  Feeling out of control, muffled or silenced leads to unnecessary anxiety, stress, worry and other complications that can only compound and make matters worse.  Regarding pregnancy and birth, one of the most sacred topics that exists, we must have the boldness and confidence to advocate for ourselves, our baby(s) and others who may not have that level of courage yet. Over the years, pregnancy, birth and…

    Be Yourself | The Power of Uniqueness

    March 4, 2023 / No Comments

    There is much to be said about being yourself. From a young age we hear “Just be yourself, everyone else is taken” and similar adages. While they have a nice ring to them, and hold much truth, it can be hard to apply and ever harder to see why. We know that Success leaves clues, and reinventing the wheel isn’t the most effective plan of action when trying to accomplish big things, but how do we find a balance between the two? The comparison game is real and while we may start out looking for inspiration and all the right reasons, and – if we’re not careful – we may…

    A South American Proverb says “Good broth will resurrect the dead” and – while we all know that’s not possible without Jesus – it can surely do the body good, in good times and bad. Broth has been a staple in homes since the beginning of time, being made from the bones of beef, chicken or fish, with optional veggies and herbs, it’s truly an economical, and delicious, way to stretch your budget and nourish your body.

    What is Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)?

    February 26, 2023 / No Comments

    Origins MSG is nothing new, in fact, the Japanese professor Ikeda discovered the amino acid Glutamate in the early 20th century while eating soup. He began studying kelp, which was in the soup’s broth to figure out why the broth was so tasty and appealing. He soon realized that kelp, along with many other foods, contains naturally occurring glutamate (L-glutamic acid), and, by combining it with sodium, MSG was created. In 1909, Professor Ikeda filed a patent to produce MSG commercially, and thus began it’s shady journey to popularity in our food supply chain to this day. What is it? MSG is odorless and tasteless alone, but when added to…

    February 22, 2023 / No Comments

    Ahh shopping, some would call it “retail therapy”, but… does that still apply when you’re shopping for groceries? Likely not. I’ll admit, at one point I actually enjoyed grocery shopping. It was mostly during my couponing days, when I’d spend hours (or days) prior scouring the web for deals, mapping out my plan of attack, clipping and meticulously organizing coupons in my binder and finally going out and stuffing my car to the ceiling. It was exhausting, but also thrilling. I felt a sense of accomplishment and pride. Now, some 10+ years later, and things have changed a bit. For one, coupons aren’t as prolific as they once were.

Helping moms detox their homes, bodies and minds

When your math box money gets lost you gotta whip When your math box money gets lost you gotta whip out the Monopoly money… or as us diary of a wimpy kid fans in this house call it… “buh buh buh buhhhhh!!! Mom bucks!” #diaryofawimpykid #monopolymoney #homeschool
Do you know? Do you care? Do you blindly trust? Do you know? Do you care? Do you blindly trust?
I’ve been thinking about coffee again, it’s be I’ve been thinking about coffee again, it’s been smelling good to me (I hated the smell for awhile) and I was trying to remember how it tasted, so I decided this morning to make a small cup.  It was pretty yummy, although not *as* good as I remember. 

I’ll decide on a morning by morning basis if I want to have a cup or not.  I really have been enjoying my teas lately. 

It’s important to not tilt to the extreme in anything.  I find when I say things like “I can’t have that” I feel restricted, and even flipping it to “I don’t want to have that” feels like a lie - I truly *didnt* want it for over a month, but then I did, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

I use local raw honey and grass fed cream in my coffee, and it’s organic.  So it’s not bad for me in moderation, which is pretty much how I’ve always enjoyed it (except during my pregnancy with Gianna, I would drink a pot a day while waitressing at Cracker Barrel - it didn’t seem to effect her, lol). 

All this to say, don’t be so hard on yourself mama!  I’m pretty much back down to zero sugar (in cooking, baking, etc) and only have the occasional “treat” so I’m pretty proud of myself as far as that goes.  If I want a cup of coffee, I’ll have it 🥰 

Oh as far as results of giving it up for about 6ish weeks…. I didn’t notice much of a difference in energy levels. I thought once it was “out of my system” I’d get some type of energy boost, but I think being pregnant just has me tired.  Maybe I’m just too hard on myself.

So I just realized something that I feel like shou So I just realized something that I feel like should have been obvious to me sooner considering how much I bake lol.

My oven runs hot most of the time,which I sorta knew. But, while our cookies have always turned out delicious and fairly uniform as long as I mix them completely and time them correctly … babysitting them and adjusting the oven temperature and even cracking open the oven door during the last few minutes if it “feels right” makes a huge difference in their appearance, uniformity and texture!  Check out more photos in the comments . 

The other thing to consider is some like them crispy some like them soft. The great thing about these cookies is they have that initial crisp but they’re chewy and amazing inside.  I’m staying away from processed sugar but I did have one yesterday I won’t lie. Lol.
