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…

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?

Immune Boosting Pot Roast
My friend Stephinee was kind enough to gift me an Instant Pot after I gave birth to Mercy. Y’all, it has been a big blessing in our lives and something that we use multiple times a week. An Instant Pot is a pressure cooker that has multiple functions (pressure cook, sauté, and slow cook like a crockpot) that cooks under high pressure and only takes 20-70 minutes for most meals. Yes please! P.S. You can even cook desserts in it. OMG. I actually recently just sold my crock pot because I always forget to turn it on at the beginning of the day and then by the time I remember, there’s not enough time…
