    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…

    Ways to Make Money as a Stay at Home Mom

    January 22, 2023 / No Comments

    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…

    How to Stop Complaining all the Time

    November 19, 2022 / No Comments

    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,…

    Yes, my living room is a playground, and No, I won’t apologize for it. As I was cleaning up yesterday’s toys off of the living room floor, early this morning – because I had a few minutes between loads of laundry, an hour or two before the baby wakes up and a little extra energy (Thanks, Red), I thought back to an image I once saw, it was a cartoon image of mother and a young child, both viewing the same exact room, but both with a completely difference perspective. The mother saw chaos, disorganization, mess, disaster and most certainly embarrassment should anyone come knocking on the door unexpectedly.  The…

    How to Survive on One Income?

    May 27, 2018 / No Comments

    The economy isn’t what it used to be, friends.  20 some years ago it was completely acceptable and attainable for families to get by in a one income household.  Nowadays, we see moms dropping off their newborns to daycare, relatives homes, leaving them with dad who just got off third shift work himself, and hustling off to a 9-5 (or more) job.  I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with moms working, heck – I say more power to ya if you can juggle it all! – but… lots of moms don’t have a choice.  There are some families who want mom to stay at home and raise the kids, but…

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.

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!) 👇
