Walking into the grocery store yesterday, with my youngest at my side, we couldn’t help but notice the buckets of local daffodils for $2/bunch. As we kept walking, we passed flowers for the yard and new rubber boots. Before we know it, s’mores supplies will be sitting on the ends […]
Yesterday our kids made their own sandwiches and packed their backpacks full of light sabers and nerf guns. They planned a day outside and headed out on their adventure. I watched from the window as they wandered around the yard and then spread out the blanket they had tucked into one of […]
I had the best time whipping up these simple bars yesterday afternoon. If you follow on Instagram, you most likely saw my videos (bloopers too!) and heard about the reasons behind why I wanted to make these. Here’s the deal: My kids are always starving. They need protein and lots […]
A few months ago, it was a privilege to guest post over on Love LaConner. You can find this post originally there. Thankfully, the daffodil season is just around the corner! Here are a few ideas that’ll help turn your drive-by into an all day family trip. Daffodils seem to […]
Happy Friday! Are you ready to go into the weekend with intention? What does your body, mind and your family need right now? As I walked into the kitchen this morning and checked my email while the coffee finished brewing, my mind was brought back to about 6 weeks ago […]
I sit by the pool, legs tucked in close to me, 3 towels on my right and 3 kids in the water. I read with a pen in hand, circling, starring and underlining everything that jumps out to me. I look up and my youngest is kicking across the pool, […]
Happy Friday! Here we go with Part 2 of the Q&A series! Question: Thank you for helping me out of a deep funk – might even be called depression, but I refuse to call it that – that hit hard in 2016. I’m inspired by you, and motivated, and, well I […]
You guys have some great questions! Today I’m starting part one of the Q&A series. Here’s the question I’m tackling: How do you keep screen time in check? Oh girls. This question. It’s a big one and it’s SO important. I’ve been thinking so much about this lately and trying […]
Behind the scenes stuff. Gosh, how do you even sum it all up? How do you portray the real picture without having someone spend a day or a week with you? Tonight I’m going to try and sum up the best and worst parts of running NW Healthy Mama. For me, […]
It was a few days before Christmas and I was sitting around with the gals on my MOPS team. We were sharing either something good happening in our lives, or something that could use some improvement. A few gals spoke and my heart beat in my chest, knowing what needs improvement in […]
Happy New Year, friends! This post has been sitting on my phone for a few months and seeing as it’s the most popular time of year to join a gym, it seems like the most appropriate time to share my own story. It was almost exactly a year ago, and […]
When I posted, asking for you all to share your 2017 goals, I knew they’d be great, but you guys are even WAY more fun than I anticipated! It shouldn’t be a surprise though….. We are all capable of so much and life can be so full of excitement! So here’s […]
The house is quiet, except for the steady hum of the dishwasher. Through my earbuds, Lauren Daigle sings “Light of the World”. This song. This silence. Yessssss! Little moments like this are so life giving to me and friends, simple stuff like this is what I want to fill 2017 […]
Rewind with me to a few weeks ago. It was our first snow day and all of the kids had colds. Our youngest had been napping for only a short time when she walked out of her room with those sleepy rosy cheeks I can’t get enough of. Scooping her up, […]
