A Crunchy Mama’s Postpartum Must Haves
Since the last time we’ve connected, I had my sixth baby. Her birth was fast and furious starting a little after 6 AM on Monday morning and ending at 6:24 AM with her in my arms. I am so thankful for the opportunity to have another Homebirth and for my children to meet her moments after she was born. This week has been all about rest for me and as you’ve probably been able to tell I have not been working as much. I’m doing my best to share all things postpartum in the moment so be sure to follow me on social media to see more. One of the first things that I…

Super Green Smoothie Bowl
With only a few weeks left before we leave for California, we have been working non-stop. My soul was in serious need of a good stretch and healing nourishment, so I decided to partake in some YouTube yoga and a huge smoothie bowl. I have seen these all over Instagram and Pinterest, so I had no choice but to join the cool nutrition/fitness gurus and become a part of the smoothie bowl movement. They end up being really thick, like a frozen yogurt consistency. After I put my smoothie into a bowl, I pretend I am at Sweet Frog and load up on toppings! The recipe I’m sharing with y’all…
