    Self Care Simplicity

    Heyyyyy ya’ll! I wanted to take the time to give you an update before I get to the meat and potatoes of this blog post. Since I gave birth to Vivi, I’ve been taking it easy and haven’t worked as much as normal. I’ve also had a lot of time to think about what content I’ve been producing and realized that I was focused on getting quantity content out verses quality. After simmering on this for a little while I’ve decided to stop trying to share so much on my blog so that it’s seen more and focus on quality posts that are shared 1-2 times a week. It’s hard…

    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…

Unfortunately life has thrown several curve balls lately so it’s just not happening like I want it too! But, in the spirit of making lemons out of lemonade I promise that I’ll do better. So many of ya’ll have asked about what diaper bag I carry and what it’s stocked with and I’m really excited to share an updated post about this. I think the last time I did this was three years ago and my oh my how things have…

    Benefits of Walking

    I’ll be honest with y’all… I haven’t been working out hard like I was at the beginning of my pregnancy. I *try* to make it to the gym a handful of times a week but I’ve just had a few issues with my blood sugar that arrose after working out so my midwife suggested I take it easy for a bit. I am someone who thrives off of physical exercise and really loves the way it makes me feel so I haven’t completely stopped but just shifted my focus to walking every single day. There are so many amazing health benefits of walking that it’s hard to just talk about…

    Dieting VS. Lifestyle Changes

    Something that I feel compelled to talk about this week is my lifestyle and how it came to be.  I’ve talked about this in the past but it was when my blog was new and I had a smaller following. I get asked health questions numerous times a day and I want to share all of my knowledge with y’all! I’ve also seen a backlash after my transition and it’s something that I want to address. I didn’t change my lifestyle for anyone else. I repeat, I didn’t do it to “be cool” or try and “one up” anyone. I changed because I saw that the way I was living…
