I started this last Friday, and I’m finishing on Monday, and it’ll be a slightly different post than I planned..because God is amazing with how He chooses to make His presence known. I’m so lonely. I miss my family, every single one of them. I miss my mama’s hugs, the way she loves my babies. [...]

Fall Health Goals Week 2
What a week! I am so glad I’ve made these changes! It’s still fairly early days to know all the benefits and effects, but I am so excited to share with you what I’m experiencing so far. First, I want to share about the aesthetic stuff that I am officially not focused on right now, [...]
What’s on my plate? Fall 2017 Food and Supplement roundup
I wanted to do a quick post about how I’m fine tuning my nutrition to match my goals in this season, so y’all have some context for my updates. First, Supplements! You might Recognize the Barlean’s fish oil from this spring-I’m adding it back in because it’s the best way to get my EPA. I’m [...]
One week into Health Goals Fall 2017…
First, Thursday is a weird day to be writing these updates, so after this I’ll be switching to Sunday or Monday. So, expect to hear more about this week then. So, a week ago I wrote about how I was going to shift my focus until at least the end of October to taking care [...]
New goals as Fall Begins
With all the new perspective I'm gaining lately on rest, self love, and self care, I find myself in need of some new/updated goals for this fall that match. I'd really like to be finished losing weight-y'all know that by now. Part of it is that I just hate having things unfinished. I like to [...]

It's my rest day, and I'm really trying to embrace all that that is coming to mean in my life. I feel like I am approaching a baseline state emotionally after the tempest of the past couple weeks, but am not fully out of the woods, so I am being extra intentional about using this [...]
On Matching the Recovery to the Work
I'm super tired lately, and feeling intense effects of that on my physical and mental well being, but it's also good, because I have a tendency to go all in headfirst and overload and overwhelm and burn out and quit, and I'm learning to recognize what my body and mind need vs what I want, [...]
Momming with Mental Illness
Hey Y'all! I've decided to begin a series on how my mental illness interacts with my parenting in different areas. I figure that if i am facing these challenges, I can't be alone, and maybe sharing how I struggle and how I cope will encourage and embolden others. Maybe there will even be a few [...]
Vacation Rest: Not how I planned, but better.
We've been back a couple weeks now from our annual week at the beach with our best friend Max, and for the first time ever, I'm still finding myself actually refreshed and renewed. Usually after a vacation (since kids, anyway) I need another vacation to recover, but not this time. I truly found some recovery [...]
Crunchy Hippie Tattooed Yoga Fitness Mom (and other ways my identity won’t fit in a box)
(Some post yoga Bubby Love) I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror the other day and wondered...What kind of mom do people think I am? I know there are so many types we hear about: Helicopter moms, Pinterest Moms, Soccer moms, Glam moms, Sporty Moms, and more. I'm definitely super Crunchy-essential oils, elderberry [...]
