Five quick and healthy kid approved breakfasts
Morning time before school is hands down the craziest part of my day. I have five kids so there is five times the fun involved. There are lunchboxes to get ready, water bottles to fill up, clothes to get on, hair brushed, teeth brushed, shoes on, ohhh yea and BREAKFAST to make and eat. Shew, I’m tired already! Ha! But seriously, I am sure I am not the only one striving to make things easier in all areas of life. My house tends to thrive better on lose schedules and routines and I am hoping that by sharing more of a peak into our world that you are able to…

Why I Use Non-Hormonal Birth Control
There are many reasons why I choose not to use a hormonal birth control. I do not think that it’s normal for us to not have regular periods. God designed our bodies to naturally have monthly cycles and some hormonal birth controls stop you from having a period all together. The concoction of chemicals makes me weary on how much it affects your body while you’re taking them and when you decide to stop and try to conceive naturally. In the US, the numbers of infertility amongst women are growing by the day. These are caused by many factors and one of them can be side effects from hormonal birth…

Enjoying Fall Fragrances With Essential Oils + Diffuser Blends
I am so excited to share another switch to safer that I’ve made in my household and I hope will inspire you to make in yours. When I was pregnant with my first child, Nolan, I kept getting debilitating headaches. I knew nothing about essential oils but when I reached out to a few crunchy mamas, they told me to inhale Peppermint oil and it would help. Umm WOW!

NOTHING worked for my headaches but these oils and I’m so thankful that I was introduced to them for this reason.…

My top five “go to” healthy snacks right now
I am being very transparent when I say that… I spend A LOT of time in my car. I have five kids in school and activities, own multiple businesses that require me to have in person meetings and then add in any social things I decide to partake in, yuppp, I’ve been in the car all day. So how in the world do I eat healthy when I am on the go so much? Thankfully, I’ve learned that being prepared with a million choices and not waiting until I am absolutely starving to eat helps me tremendously. I’ve also gotten used to heading into a local space, SC Real Foods,…

Stretches you should try to do every morning + night!
One of the things that I try to do every day for my health is stretch. Stretching is important. When you take the time to stretch it helps to keep your muscles flexible, strong and working properly. For our joints to keep a range of motion, stretching is needed to maintain flexibility. When we do not do it, our muscles shorten and become tight. This is a problem when you try to use them because they are weak and not able to extend correctly. I am sure that you don’t want discomfort in your workouts or a injury during one, so let me help! You don’t have to have a lot…
