QUESTION: What do you look for in every situation?
.
Of course I love me some food. However, if I’m really trying to make a situation better I realize it’s not what I look for, it’s WHAT I BRING.

Friday Food Fun

You have to admit though, summer food habits do tend to change. 🤣

How much do you love this from @producepuns

We’ve come a long way baby!!
.
Or have we?
💁🏼‍♀️I’m curious- What catches your eye?👇🏻
.
This is from the 1940s: A Guide to Good Eating (Basic Seven)
.
It was considered complex. 🤣

QUESTION: Team Moderation👍🏻 or Team Quick Fix👎🏻
.
Damn you unsexy moderation!
You make me feel so cliche yet you also allow me and so many others to enjoy #allthefood
.
To me moderation is like yoga {which I have yet to master outside of tying my shoes.} It takes practice, knowledge and tools.
.
💁🏼‍♀️Listen- I’m not your gal if you want a strict eating plan, nor will I shame you into changing habits.
.
What I will do is:
☑︎ Teach you the fundamentals of a balanced plate.
☑︎ Listen to what your lifestyle will and will not permit.
☑︎ Share tips, tools & resources.
☑︎ Keep you accountable to what you said you wanted.
☑︎ Refer you when and if we discover we are incompatible.
.
Oh by the way - I offer free consults.
👉🏻Don’t everyone call at once.😂

I remember it as clear as day.
✨
It was back in my #momsclub days. I was at a recipe club in a beautiful, clean and organized home, with a beautiful put-together host mom and to top this off, her recipes were often winners. God love her, she was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. She still is.
✨
My insecurities set aside, I had my #recipe and my not yet school aged daughter in hand. Chairs were in demand so I took the liberty to remove a booster seat from a chair and there it sat. Low and behold, I found THE MESS! The thank goodness, hallelujah, I’m not alone, she’s human, ME TOO MOMENT I desperately needed!
✨
Perhaps it’s sad I needed that affirmation but it’s such a great reminder that a picture or perception does not tell all.
✨
We are more connected than disconnected. We are flawed together and knitted together by the most significant of crumbs often well hidden in the cracks.

Just another manic MOMday 🎵
.
No worries, I realize it’s Thursday but this throwback song pops up when I’m on a role. Two mornings in a row waking with the feeling of #anxiety washing over me. I’ll down an @advocare Oasis in hopes that it will help me battle the storm brewing on the inside and likely take the dog for a walk while listening to a podcast.
.
These are the days when you wish your bed was already made. 🎶 {{Honestly, my bed is made, a great habit instilled by the man who inspired my goals setting.}}
.
Please TELL ME - How do you best deal with stress?👇🏻
.
My favorites include the following + what I’ve stated above:
✔️Nutrition high in antioxidants and adaptogens from food + supplements
✔️Physical activity of any sort
✔️Feeding my mind with a podcast or a book
✔️Prayer, focused breath and meditation
✔️Social support

Are you THE MOM? 🙋🏼‍♀️
.
It’s a super huge title and responsibility.
It’s a joyful blessing and miracle.
It’s an honor, a privilege.
.
It’s the most challenging job you’ll ever have.
It’s going push you harder than you’ve ever been pushed.
It’s going to break you.
.
In the end it will be the title you cherish most. It will be your super power.
