The Zero Sugar Challenge | Before We Start...

7.31.2016


Before we start this challenge, I want to show y'all how much sugar I can consume in 2 days. My goal isn't to eat the worst I can, but to represent how easily you can accidentally eat A LOT of sugar if you aren't mindful. I have recorded 2 days worth of logs that can be read below. Don't know what this challenge is? Check out the first post HERE

The Zero Sugar Challenge

7.30.2016

I am so SICK of everyone being SICK.

*Far too often, I hear about friends and family being diagnosed with yet another illness or a family member has passed due to cancer, a heart attack, or just overall body failure...why is that?

I'm no scientist, but I have done my fair share of research on the topic so here's what I've learned.

Here's to my first serious recipe blog! :) So I've been trying to substitute our family's favorite foods with healthier versions and I'd say this one was a definite success! 

Dear Mom, Don't Lose Yourself

7.20.2016

Dear Mom, when the house has been turned up-side down, don't lose yourself.

...When the dishes are overflowing, don't lose yourself.

...When you cannot stand the mess, don't lose yourself.

Dear Mom, when dinner makes your family wince, don't lose yourself.

...when you forget to make everyones lunches, don't lose yourself.

...when you feel like nothing but a milk machine, don't lose yourself.

Dear Mom, when your toddler pees all over the coffee table, don't lose yourself.

...When the baby won't stop crying, don't lose yourself.

...When you feel like a failure of a mother, don't lose yourself.

Dear Mom, when it feels like God has abandoned you, don't loose yourself.

...He is always there; embracing you & loving you. 
No Matter What You're Going Through.

"“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”" Luke 10:41-42

Why We Chose Cloth Diapers

7.12.2016

Here's a list of reasons why we chose to cloth diaper our 2nd baby and haven't looked back!

Better for You & Baby
I used disposables with my 1st baby and I remember her having rashes all the time. I kind of just accepted them as apart of life and kept Dr. Smith's cream with me wherever I went, but it doesn't (& shouldn't) have to be that way. Cloth diapers are very convenient nowadays so switching to cloth is a lot easier than you'd think!

I am a "Crunchy Mom"

I am a "crunchy mom" & proud of it.


I wasn't always this way, but after having my 1st daughter I started pilates, then found out what clean eating was & couldn't go back...And that was just the beginning. 3 years later; now we're talking knee deep in cloth diapers, unpaper towels, & basically cloth EVERYTHING. It's better for the wallet & for this God-given planet. Some find satisfaction in a good shopping trip...I find satisfaction in eliminating the shopping list LOL!
