    January 28, 2023 / No Comments

    Alright so, maybe you’ve decided enough is enough.  It’s time to take healthy eating seriously, but where to start?  With skyrocketing food prices and huge demands on your time as a busy mom – where do you begin that won’t lead you down numerous – and endless – rabbit holes?  Is it actually possible to eat healthy on a budget? Don’t worry, I gotchu. See, I was there, off and on, for a good decade of our lives.  I wanted us to eat better, and tried quite a few “fad” diets out there, but nothing felt right and nothing really stuck.  It felt like things had to be one way…

    Which Essential Oils are Safe for my Baby?

    January 26, 2023 / No Comments

    Essential Oils are all the rage right now it seems, and while they’re not new by any means they are trendy, which makes us all want to hop on the bandwagon.  If you’re like me, you probably look for the best deal out there when you shop – and understandably so, the current economy makes it difficult enough to make ends meet, add in the rising cost of groceries, gas & other necessities and you’re likely searching couch cushions for change by the end of the month.  While there are some great ways to save money and even bring in money while staying home with your kiddos, you still want…

    There are so many ways to make money nowadays that it can seem overwhelming.  10-15 years ago, there were not nearly as many options to choose from, and you really had to know where to look.  Thankfully, for you, I’ve taken a lot of the guesswork out of it and compiled a list of some of the best ways to earn an income from home.   As you know, if you’ve been around here for some time, after our second child was born I had a burning desire (that has not left me since) to stay home with my kids.  I fully intended on re-entering the workforce while pregnant, but once…

    How to Deal with Difficult People

    December 5, 2022 / No Comments

    We can never be perfect like Jesus, but think about this for inspiration:  on the most difficult day of His life as a man (remember, He was both fully man and fully God), Jesus chose to – while suffering greatly and being able to stop it all if He chose – forgive His assailants and accusers.  In our eyes, He had every right to at least be angry, but no – He chose forgiveness and compassion.  “They know not what they do”.  We might not always choose to immediately forgive, or to say kind things directly in the face of adversity (far less than what Jesus experienced, too), and –…

    How to Feel Excited for the Holidays

    November 25, 2022 / No Comments

    To some, the mere thought of actually hating Christmas, Thanksgiving or birthdays is abhorrent.  Why would you?  How could you?  Nobody does – right?  Well……. I haven’t been around the too long, but I have met some real life Scrooges in my time, and while misunderstood by many, people have their reasons. A lot of times, it’s as simple as this:  Holidays bring up old feelings.  Perhaps a loved one has passed and their memories still linger, causing the pain of nostalgia for what was.  Perhaps there is bitterness from a pass hurt and a time that would typically be full of joy and fellowship feels empty and hollow.  The…

    I wanted to share a tip that I use to combat grumbling.  Grumbling is something I’m sure we all struggle with, whether we want to admit it or not.  But, how can we help our fellow sister’s in Christ – or ANYONE for that matter – if we don’t share our struggles and how we use our weaknesses to glorify God. in 2 Cor 12:9-10 Paul is boasting about his weakness, and he says this is so that the power of Christ may dwell in him. So. . .  let’s boast away, cause who doesn’t need more of *THAT pwer, amirite??? Ok, so.. here’s my tip (but first my confession,…

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!) 👇
