    Here’s To The Women…

    Here’s to the women who rise and grind.  May your rise continue to be early and your grind be strong.  Here’s to the women who wear calluses on their hands.  May your weights continue to be heavy and your grip be strong, like your soul.   Here’s to the women with spit up and breast milk stains on their sports bras.  May your love for your body be fierce like your love for your children whom you carried in it, whether in your belly or in your heart.  Here’s to the women who eat.  Who nourish their bodies, with leftover kids pbj, or cheese, or tofu, or a big juicy…

    The Skin You’re In…

    The skin we’re in. Thick. Thin. Pale. Tan. Brown. White. Freckled. Dotted with cellulite. Lined with stretch marks. Wrinkly. Shiny. We’re so quick to judge ourselves on appearances.   But how many of us can say that we’re comfortable in that skin. That we’re getting rid of judging, and moving onto acceptance. It’s taken me a lot of years to get to this point. To be comfortable in my body. To love the cellulite and the imperfections and the wrinkles.   I didn’t always. So I decided one day to ask for help. I was tired of being tired, being self conscious, and not getting the results I wanted from…

    Parenting… Am I Doing it Right?

    When you become a parent for the first time, you begin to question everything you do in relation to your child.  I created this new precious life and I don’t want to screw it up.  When Emma was born, she stole our hearts.  She turned our world upside down and she had us all wrapped around her little finger.  The questions began in my head almost immediately.  Does she need to eat?  What does that sound mean?  Does she recognize me?  Then, how long has she been in that wet diaper?  Can I feed her fruits yet?  How important are baby music classes?   What’s her favorite song going to…

    Letter To My 22 Year Old Self

    I found a photo album the other day that was littered with pictures of my early twenties.  I had to sit for a while and really look through it.  Of course, I thumbed through slowly, laughed at a few things, remembered a few others, and reflected on some days where worries seemed few and late nights seemed many.  A lot, I mean A LOT has changed in 10 years.  I didn’t know the amazing man I would call my husband.  I thought having kids was not for me- ever.  I thought a good workout was a pub crawl on a Sunday afternoon, and the word responsible wasn’t something I would…

    Grocery Shopping on a Budget

    One of the questions I am most frequently asked regarding eating clean and meal planning is “How do you do it on a budget?”  It does take some planning but it is absolutely doable.  We are a family of five, our kids are 7, 4 and 2,  and believe me, they eat a lot.  I stick to a $100/week max budget and what I have leftover we put away for splurges or Costco trips. Below are some tips and tricks to help you stay clean, stay healthy, and stay budget-friendly each week! Building your Pantry: The key to making a list and sticking to it is having a menu to…

    The Why Behind Everything I Do

     As I sit here looking over my planner for the next few weeks, trying to organize my life and create a sense of normalcy among the chaos that is my current life, I have to pause, breathe, and be thankful for what has brought me to the chaos that I have today.  When you’re sitting in the delivery room, waiting for them to hand you your very first, teensy weensy, wrinkly, freshly bathed and swaddled little peanut, what they don’t tell you is that not only is this little person now outside your body but now, so is your heart.  Here you are, Mrs. Roberts, and you will now be wearing your…
