Outside of our example, teaching kids to eat healthy means real food at all meals. You can add a small treat and processed food like crackers for balance but real food should be the foundation.

Want your kids to eat healthy and minimize the chances of developing disease? Start them off young with eating real food. Don’t go full food N**i but make real food the foundation and treats as…well, treats.

When you do the individual work you get to enjoy an easy marriage. Happy 3 years my love. Thank you for all you do for us and our kiddos.

This season is harder than I expected. I’m pulled in 20 different directions all day long: attempting to clean my home, laundry, the kids, my husband, appointments, groceries, meals, etc…. There’s been some give and take to also take care of myself and my health.

What I’m willing to “slack on” currently:
- swapping to paper plates and bowls (the less dishes the better)
- having an uncluttered home (literally impossible)
- worrying about microplastics and seed oils (give me all of the shortcuts please)
- looking put together (not high on the priority list currently)

How I’m maintaining my health in other ways:
- non-toxic cookware (other than microplastics in those steamable vegetables)
- glass storage containers
- non toxic cleaning products
- getting sunshine throughout the day
- depending on my meal plans (that you also can have to save you during hard seasons)

When you have to make choices, pick the macros and don’t worry about the micros.

Macros:
-whole, real food
-sunshine
-relationships
-movement
-sleep
-low tox choices (cookware, food storage, cleaning products, body products)

Micros:
Literally everything else

Eventually we’ll get to a point where we can focus on more micros but now is not the time.

Juliette is 2 months old today! Her smile is heart melting when you get it. It’s difficult to catch though.

My baby is an adult 😭😭😭

The oldest is holding Juliette in the locker room so I can walk. 🙌🏻 I feel great but definitely need some time and activity for myself. I’ve been doing my best to fit in core and pelvic floor rehab and now walking (that isn’t always kid centric).
