After School CHAOS can be so..... #chaotic!!!! The pantry raiding, random arguing, iPad grabbing, attempts for homework skipping, play date requesting.... I gotta shut these little people down ASAP!! On this particularly overwhelming day, I pulled into the driveway... Stopped the car & started the lecture. But this time it was different. I simply said, "Mommy has had enough (aka: I'm … [Read more...]
Choose Gratitude
At the end of another long day, when I feel like a beaten down dog (I joked at dinner to my husband that every night we crawl to our room and lick our wounds & my kids were truly mortified... I can only imagine the visualization)... I will CHOOSE not to focus on how this day NEVER seemed to end or everything that went wrong. Instead, I will focus on THIS: tonight Maddox said he wished he … [Read more...]
Open The Windows for Wellness
Feeling shut down and closed off? Open the Windows!! What does this have to do with your health or hormones?? Our homes are jam-packed with toxins and bringing the fresh air inside (assuming the outdoor quality isn't worse than what you have in there) helps to circulate the air and clear these toxic chemicals. What's so terrible about candles, artificial cleaners, air fresheners… ? … [Read more...]
Radishes and the Thyroid
Maybe these pretty little red crunchies are slightly misunderstood and underestimated. Radishes contain raphanin (mainly sulfur),which is responsible for keeping the production of thyroid and calcitonin (a peptide hormone) in normal balance. With proper amounts of raphanin circulating in blood plasma, the thyroid won't under or over produce these two hormones. This makes balancing the thyroid, … [Read more...]
Lean on a Friend for a Hormonal Lift!
Everyone says it, and we all know it, but how much of an effort do we really make? I can't tell you how many times friends and I have broken plans because we were tired, grouchy, busy, etc. Yesterday was wrapping up to be one of those days for me, but I fought through it, went ahead with what we planned, and we had the best time. It was just what I needed to start off my week on a better note. … [Read more...]

Silly Selfie For a Healthy & Balanced Body!
I don't love selfies for one thing, and being silly with my kids seems to take a backseat to my sometimes drill sergeant parenting style. But I gotta make time for the small stuff... because honestly, that's the good stuff! We are always looking for the next "feel better fast" magic... and this is it! Laughter triggers the release of endorphines, the body’s natural ‘feel good’ hormones. In … [Read more...]
Hot and Healthy Breakfast Nachos
Let me preface this recipe, and any others including eggs and/or dairy with this: for a majority of women, I recommend limiting dairy and also acknowledging that many people have an egg sensitivity without knowing it. Unknown sensitivities and intolerances to food can cause fatigue, trouble with weight-loss, hormone imbalance and other issues. However, purchasing free range, organic eggs or … [Read more...]
Tell Cellulite Goodbye by Brushing Dry!
I've always wanted dimples... I just never wanted them THERE!! First off... This picture was taken in my hotel bathroom while I hung out for 3 HOURS in a desperate attempt to NOT wake the rest of my family. Yes, 3 hours! What can you do in a hotel bathroom for 3 hours? Soak in a hot bath (nothing like this for lowering the cortisol after traveling with 3 kids all week!) Read Bible … [Read more...]
