    Advocating for the Birth you Want and Deserve

    March 10, 2023 / No Comments

    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…

    How to Make Bone Broth | Easy and Delicious

    March 1, 2023 / No Comments

    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. Healing the Sick What’s the first thing people bring to a sick person? Soup! Usually chicken noodle. I once knew an older woman who, every time when sick, would eat tons of Ramen…

    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.

    I’ve been really enjoying cooking from the Nourishing Traditions Cookbook lately.  We mostly eat in accordance with the Weston A. Price / Ancestral diet these days, and boy oh boy let me tell you – it does not feel like a diet (ps: it’s not).  I never feel deprived and we still get to eat plenty of delicious foods!  So, when I saw that they had a pizza crust recipe – I just had to try it!  We love pizza, and giving it up would be a non-negotiable, with this crust recipe, we can still enjoy our weekly pizza nights and not feel so bloated afterwards!

    The day I decided to start a blog, I had no idea what I was in for. I honestly just decided that I wanted to record my thoughts, feelings and experiences for future reference. While I realized that I had some unique experiences and insights to share with others – I vastly underestimated the value of also sharing my skills and lessons learned with others, for many years actually. I think I took for granted the knowledge that I had, and didn’t realize how much value this could provide to others! For years, off and on, I had several “blogs”; Some free, some dot com, where I shared bits and…

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.

Did you know that 🌎 worldwide 🌎 , 3 of 5 peo Did you know that 🌎 worldwide 🌎 , 3 of 5 people die due to chronic inflammatory diseases like stroke, chronic respiratory diseases, heart disorders, cancer, obesity, and diabetes. 3 out of 5 people. 

(Citation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK493173/)

It’s a silent killer, you really don’t even know it until it’s too late.  There’s even a theory that High Cholesterol numbers aren’t even something to worry about IF you don’t have a ton of inflammation in your body (cause that’s what makes it bad!). 

I'm not saying this to be a bummer, but it's real, and we can't ignore it.

That’s EXACTLY what we’re going to help you decrease in your body with the 11 Day Jumpstart.

It was never just about losing weight, it’s about decreasing inflammation, so you can LIVE.

(Weight loss just happens as well 🙂 )

My #1 thing I’m excited about doing is cutting out processed sugar…. I did it last year around this time, and I went strong for about 6 months, but then slowly I made “exceptions” here and there - and probably will be chowing down on some terrible stuff on Christmas if I’m being honest 🤣

Shoot me a message if you want to jump in on the Jumpstart. It’s totally free, you just need to grab the vitamins and minerals you’ll need. No biggie.

This is what I'm choosing to live for (and all my kids of course!) 👇
