I’m so beyond excited for Thanksgiving this next week, but y’all? I would love to be at a beach – anytime, really – like the one above. What a gorgeous shot, right? I’m not getting paid in any way to share this, but that’s a beautiful stock photo that I got as part of my Influence Network membership. Pretty amazing!

 

This week was good, but flew by so fast. We’re going to do a little traveling soon and I’m already trying to plan out every detail of the trip. Just when we got used to traveling with a toddler/preschooler we get to figure out how to do it with a baby AND a preschooler – yikes! I’m a little nervous, but it’ll work itself out just fine. Always did with W, so I’m banking on that with both of them now!

 

With all of the stuff that’s been happening lately around the world I have to be honest and say that I’ve been in a constant state of fighting fear. What a scary world to raise children in, and the news only paints an even more grim picture on a daily basis. I’m really thankful for the hope of Jesus in my life; I can’t imagine how I would cope with anything if I didn’t have that. My hope is that my life would be used for His glory, that my words would be His, and that love would be the theme of my life. And I hope that for all of you too.

 

Enjoy the weekend, friends!

6. 11 ways to get the most out of life with minimal living. Truth? I feel like I don’t even have the brain capacity to work on minimizing our stuff right now, but there are some great tips for minimalism in other areas here! (Hey Mama)

7. This video is a scream (muahahaha!) – if this happened to me I’d probably wet my pants. Just sayin’ (Ellen DeGeneres)

8. Another awesome “Uptown Funk” mashup, this time with old Hollywood dance scenes. I’m in love! (Slate)

9. A French father explains the terror attacks to his son. Beautiful, and more grace-filled than I could come up. (USA Today)

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
