Lovely links shares a few of my favorites from around the web this week. Enjoy!

Lovely links is a collection of great articles, helpful hints, great food, and general goodness from around the web this week! @heathersdish

Y’all, when I was a kid (about 5 or 6) I would wake up at about 5am every morning. I would walk across the house to my parents’ room, wake them up, and ask what I should do. Finally they said I could fix a little something to eat and watch a show on TV so that they could sleep longer, so I would go in the kitchen for a slice of cheese and then watch the Disney Channel for 30 minutes. Never did I think that was annoying, never did I think I would one day be my parents. I’m here to tell you that what goes around comes around – ha! Now I have two boys that are waking up at 5:15am, ready to start the day. Do they know that’s basically the only alone time I actually get? Maybe. Do they know that it’s insanely early for kids (anyone, really) to get up that early? Nope. I suppose I had it coming…and I love spending time with them…but dang, mama’s tired!

 

The only thing that’s making me think this will eventually all work out is that as I got older I of course slept in a little more. Surely since I afforded my parents that luxury my offspring will do the same…right? Fingers crossed and praying it’s so!

 

Now that I’ve invited into that randomness, the reality is that this is going to be the first weekend in a long time where we will all be together for the whole weekend, and I’m really excited. I’m thinking backyard fire pit, s’mores, getting outside, and generally just having a good time. Here’s hoping your weekend is the same, filled with love and laughter and the ones you love most! Oh, and enjoy these lovely links while you’re at it!

  1. Thinking about a no-spend challenge. Could you do it?
  2. I think this is worth sharing – anyone who is ever in anyone else’s home (isn’t that pretty much all of us?) should know what to look for to prevent human trafficking!
  3. How to block porn on any device for free? I’m looking into it…I hate that my kids are learning how to use computers and could come across anything in a matter of seconds!
  4. DON’T KISS BABIES THAT AREN’T YOURS. Sorry to shout, but holy moly…just don’t.
  5. Love Andie for so many reasons, but her vulnerability is a big one. Be gentle with your postpartum bodies ladies!
  6. 5 steps to meal prep – who else is giddy about this one?!
  7. Best black basics. I love black (really all neutrals) probably a little too much. These look so cute!
  8. All over these flourless chocolate cupcakes. YES AND AMEN.

Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Affirmations for YOU today. Even when you don’t Affirmations for YOU today. Even when you don’t feel it, these are truths that I’m holding for you. ❤️
3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day:

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
HASHTAG MOOD. Y’all, I’m so jealous of my dog HASHTAG MOOD. Y’all, I’m so jealous of my dog 😂 Who else feels me here? 🙋🏼‍♀️ #dogdays #2020mood
