    Healthy Eats by Strong Roots

    This post is sponsored by Strong Roots. All opinions and thoughts are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. You all know I am very picky about the foods I bring into our home and feed to my family. Even though it’s not always easy, We try to eat as clean and as organically as possible. I receive over a hundred emails a week from companies who want me to promote their brands, and a great deal of these are “healthy” food companies. When Strong Roots approached me about trying some of their plant-based foot products, I was excited because they are a brand I haven’t tried…

    Making Memories in the kitchen with Junk-Free Ingredients!

    Once a week, I try to bake something in the kitchen with my kids. This is something that I’ve done since they were little and they absolutely love it. Derrek always loves any excuse to make brownies or cookies and we have made this into a family event! It is messier than if you were doing it by yourself, but it’s the memories that are really important to not that the kitchen is spotless. My children love to help out in the kitchen, and I think that baking your own sweet treat is a wonderful way to build their confidence and also to let them be involved in the making…

I often get asked about them so it only seemed fitting to give y’all a solid place to reference if you want to try my morning cocktail – minus the booze. I’m gonna be real with you though… nothing can beat an organic caramel latte with oat milk from Bean Bar in Florence though. On the mornings I don’t go to Bean Bar, I make a cold brew coffee at home. Why cold brew you ask? The benefits of drinking cold brew are extensive. It’s…

    Daily Harvest The Holiday Helper

    This post is in partner with Daily Harvest. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. During the holiday season it’s a lot harder to stay on track with eating healthy. I mean, with all of the events/parties that come along with comfort food, desserts, drinking and little sleep it’s hard to! I can personally say that I haven’t been the best at eating well but I realize that now and am focused on doing better. My body just doesn’t feel like it’s working the best potential. I know how big of a deal it is to treat your body right and the…

    Ch- Ch- Ch- Chia Pudding Recipe

    Healthy recipes can be hard to formulate, I know for me personally I do a lot of trial and error with what’s in the fridge and pantry. This one has been a favorite of mine and my littles for several years. I used to make this when Nolan was a little sweet sugar of a three year old. My chia seed pudding is something I formulated after making it a few different ways. It’s SUPER simple, healthy and easy! Chia seeds are filled with omega 3 fats, fiber and energy   INGREDIENTS:  Bag of dried chia seeds (I buy in bulk at Costco) Almond, coconut or oat milk  maple syrup…
