However, I have found it more important than ever to choose wellness despite being in the trenches of a busy season. I am a homeschooling mom of…

Comfort food is called “comfort food” because of the feelings it envokes; food can calm nerves, relieve stress and brighten moods. Food can warm up our bodies when it is brutally cold and bitter outside. Food is also a great way to bring people together for fellowship and community. Most people tend to reach for food that is higher in carbohydrates during times like these, but when you are following a low carb or keto diet, you still can crave…
It is hard to believe that the New Year is almost already here! This past year flew by in some aspects and slowly crept along in others. Right? My family experienced so many changes this year – some unexpected and other planned out and executed. At this time last year, I had a brand new baby and now she is already a year old! It’s been interesting juggling seven kids with all we have had going on over the year.…
Thank goodness for this Instant Pot beef stew recipe! After starting a Keto diet, I was missing my favorite comfort foods. Typically, beef stew consists of lots of carbs, which isn’t something you want to indulge in when trying to maintain ketosis. Thankfully, this beef stew allows me to indulge without feeling any guilt! A traditional beef stew, with fall-apart tender beef, vegetables, and rich broth, is almost impossible to pull off on a weeknight. It can take two to three…
SUGAR… I have a love-hate relationship with sugar. I mean, I love chocolate…really love it. Cookies, and brownies, and cakes are my weakness. But I also hate sugar for the way it makes me feel. It’s so addictive! And I can’t stand the sugar crashes after the spikes. It’s always been a crazy cycle for me: cutting back on sugar so I can feel better and then giving in to temptation and going overboard. After starting a Keto diet, I…

What about my blog? Am I going to start posting ALL kind of salesy things now? How much did it cost? You get the picture! So….I figured this was an easy way to answer all those questions and provide anyone looking with enough info you need…
I’ve always been pretty health conscious, even as a teenager. I grew up playing on sports team and being heavily invested in health and science. I had every intention of being a doctor for many, many years. Then, I started having children and put my dream of being a doctor on a permanent hold. However, that didn’t stop me from continuing my journey of health and wellness. When I became a mom, it started to become even more important…
Staying healthy with kids during the winter is hard for anyone. If you are a mom of little ones, it can seem impossible. If you are a mom of lots of little people, it can seem…daunting, to say the least. Thankfully, my family has been pretty healthy over the years. We only caught the flu once a few years ago, and it was the B strain, which is the milder of the two. We do get colds and some respiratory…
As a busy mom of eight, I know how hard it can be to find affordable, natural personal care products for your family. Sometimes it seems like you have to make a choice between using natural products and saving money. That is beyond frustrating! We should be able to have access to natural products without feeling like we are going to compromise the family budget. I have been on a journey for many years towards a more natural lifestyle.…
