Chocolate Brownie Bites

These brownie bites are a favorite snack for us and it’s a fun recipe for kids to learn to make on their own! One of my goals is to not only teach and encourage my kiddos on nutrient dense whole-food deliciousness but to empower other Mums to do the same! Part of my health coaching…

Cookie Dough Baked Oatmeal

This baked oatmeal is a delicious treat and because it’s made with whole foods, I would even go so far as to say that when topped with full fat yogurt and few berries, a well-rounded brekkie! 😉 This recipe was one of the first that I made during a time when I wanted to add…

Blueberry Baked Oatmeal

This baked oatmeal has been a staple in our household for a couple years. I’ve wanted to share it before now, but I always felt like it could be better…until a few months ago when I had an aha moment and now, my friends, it’s officially blog worthy! This recipe is super simple, which is…

The Choice is Yours

Feeling all the feels as we pack up the house these past few weeks. As we give away, donate and throw out things we have loved, can’t use in our new places or some, probably never should have purchased in the first place, we’re also letting go of the life we started at this house…

Sole Lemon Water

Every morning the first thing I drink is my sole (pronounced so-lay) lemon water! I’ve had it both warm and room temperature, either is fine, but I don’t recommend using cold water. Overall, room temp and warm water are easier on the digestion system. It’s important to use only high quality pink Himalayan salt. Table…

My Number 1 That Can Change Your Overall Health

Water. So simple and yet it is one of the hardest habits for people to create and maintain. I’m a big fan of explaining the why behind my recommendations in my coaching (as well as parenting 🙃). When people know why something benefits them there is a much higher likelihood that they will follow through.…

Life on the other side of marriage….

Divorce. It’s a word that conjures up all kinds of negative thoughts for all of us. Some of us have personal experience with divorce, whether it was your own or your parents. Some of us have watched as friends and family go through it. Some of us have only what we’ve seen on tv. The…

Detox Cabbage Soup

Lately I’ve been revisiting detoxing my body, more specifically detoxing my liver. Our liver has over 500 functions and plays a major role in filtering everything our body comes into contact with. I’d say that’s a really important role! Optimizing my liver function improves the overall health of my body and how well it functions…

Hormone Supporting Hot Cacao

Wow, has Fall come sweeping in over the past week or what?! NC was feeling brisk this week with the overcast sky and slight breeze. As I was making the boys some hot chocollagen (I’ll share the recipe in another post!), I was thinking that my favorite hormone balancing drink all warmed up would hit…
