She’s a Mama of 5, she’s gorgeous inside and out and when I came across her video, I knew I needed to share it here. Today our family will be sitting down and creating our own “Live List” for 2016. This idea that Kelly came up with is too good to pass […]
Today we are so excited and honored to welcome Megan Dahlman to NW Healthy Mama! Megan is a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, Certified Precision Nutrition Coach, and mother of two little boys. If you’ve ever given birth, or if you’re ever planning on giving birth, this post is for […]
It’s a few days after Christmas and it’s snowing here in Washington. We rarely get snow so it has been an absolute joy to see our children play outside all morning. I wanted to make something sweet but something that would not weigh us down after a chilly morning outside. This banana […]
The other day, I posted this photo on our Facebook page and on Instagram. That same night, I sent out an email to a few ladies who have personally inspired me since starting NW Healthy Mama, asking them if they’d like to contribute to a big 2016 kick-off post. Days later, I […]
There’s a part of Christmas that people don’t often talk about. I suppose it’s because for most people, the clutter that comes with Christmas doesn’t really bother them. However, for some of us more sensitive types, it’s a part of Christmas that we really struggle with. We want to enjoy the […]
I pulled on my favorite leggings, grabbed my list, wrapped a warm scarf around my neck and vacuumed my car before I headed out. If I was going to do all of our Christmas shopping in one day, I was at least going to enjoy a clean car. The sun […]
The first time I had Broccoli Salad I was a teenager hanging out after church at my Aunt Trudy and Uncle Ray’s house. They always had a way of making everything special and her Broccoli Salad was so good, that I felt compelled to ask her for the recipe and then […]
I’m sure you’re familiar with it by now….Around here we’re all about Mamas creating things right in their homes, with little ones surrounding them. We’re into farming families, makers/growers/creators and mothers—ladies who are brave and share their talents and interests with the world. They say “Calling” is when your passion is […]
One of my all-time favorite cookies is the molasses cookie. They were my number one craving when I was pregnant with both of my kids and I would be ashamed to share how many of these cookies I have consumed in the past year. This recipe is everything I love in cookie. […]
It’s hard to believe we’ve done 18 hikes in a row together now. These girls are so fun and I know I always say it, but I’m so thankful for them. Alone, I wouldn’t be able to go out and do this stuff. Without them, I wouldn’t experience new places, […]
When we first bought our old house, a rosemary plant was one of the things I planted almost immediately. It was a gift from my husband, that meant so much to me. When life is full and busy, we need to celebrate the little things like being able to step […]
It’s hard to believe NW Healthy Mama is about 6 months old. In this short time, I have been so blessed to be able to “meet” some of the neatest local business owners and work with some amazing women. I’ve been blown away by the stories the girls in this […]
Last week, my 4 month old and I went on an adventure. We flew to Salt Lake City to visit a very dear friend of mine and fill her freezer with meals before their daughter is born. The weather was crisp. Okay, it was freezing! This soup was a perfect […]
There was a time about 20 years ago, when we lived in a log house in the woods, that my Mom had some fun, crafty and very sweet friends-many of which she still is friends with today. When these ladies came over with their kids, my sister and I would run off with them, […]
