lovely links

Yesterday I heard this song for the first time:

 

In the eye of the storm // You remain in control // In the middle of the war // You guard my soul // You alone are the anchor // When my sails are torn // Your love surrounds me // In the eye of the storm // When my hopes and dreams are far from me // and I’m runnin’ out of faith // I see the future I picture slowly fade away // And when the tears of pain and heartache // are falling down my face // I find my peace in Jesus’ name.

This week has been beautiful and lovely and filled with kindness, friendship, love. It has also been one of the darkest weeks I’ve had in a very long time and filled with doubt, frustration, angry surrender, lies. I tear up just typing that because admission of those emotions – details aside – makes me see just again how low I really am. That despite the fact that I lead a stupidly charmed life I rarely see past myself to the simultaneous beauty and filth and need for Jesus in this world.

 

But God.

 

He always reaches down and picks up the pieces and puts them back together again. He heals, he strengthens, he wipes the tears from these tired eyes and he redeems. And I’m so thankful for that.

 

I’m working through the stuff in my head because I want to share; I believe that the lessons I’m learning aren’t just mine to learn. I believe that the Lord is powerfully at work in my life, constantly. I pray that you guys have a wonderful weekend, that it’s filled with truth and joy. And enjoy these links while you’re at it!

 

1. How to pronounce French brands. Um, I’m so glad I never actually tried to say these in front of another human before! (UK Business Insider by way of my friend Allison)

2. Honest portraits of America’s working moms. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but I think it’s beautiful nonetheless. And it makes me really thankful that I get to do my work from home. (PBS)

3. Dad bands. DYING. Best 4 minutes on the Internet this week! (The Late Late Show with James Corden)

4. Some of the cutest kitchen stuff EVAH. (Euna Mae’s)

5. The Sultan of Squeezeboxes – proof that doing what you love can bring happiness, and that doesn’t always mean wealth beyond measure. Loved this video! (Great Big Story)

6. Paris history, past and present. This was incredibly cool and only makes me love Paris even more! (Mashable)

7. Take 90 seconds to understand autism a little more – we all need more compassion and understanding about it! (The National Autistic Society)

8. When you feel too broken to be chosen. ALL THE FEELS in this one guys, and it’s worth the tears and the realizations that we feel this way. (A Holy Experience)

9. Genius smoothie hack – prep ’em ahead! (How Sweet It Is)

10. She only said ‘yes’ once. This is a strong one, but one that I think we all need to read and take to heart. Talking about sex with our kids is important, more so than our own feelings of comfort. Let’s teach them about the beauty and power of it before someone else has the power to mold it into a lie. (For Every Mom)

☀️Samples time! Interested in snagging some ☀️Samples time!

Just popping in from the place moms flock to on ra Just popping in from the place moms flock to on rainy days just to get out of the dang house: the aisles of Target. 😂 Not a lot to say, but I’m going to leave you  with 3 affirmations I want you to repeat to yourself today:

❤️ I AM STRONG
❤️ I AM CAPABLE
❤️ I AM ENOUGH

BECAUSE YOU ARE. Have a wonderful day friends!
Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smo Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smoothie has 40 grams of protein, lots of green goodness and tastes like a pineapple-vanilla dream!

- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach
- 1 scoop vanilla protein
- 1 serving collagen peptides (I use 2 scoops of @bulletproof brand; some brands just have one big scoop)
- 1 scoop greens powder (I used @amazinggrass)

Blend and enjoy!
🥗 FAST FOOD! Real real: I hate when people are 🥗 FAST FOOD!

Real real: I hate when people are all, “you can cook food in the same time it takes to grab takeout.” That is not always true, and sometimes it’s just about not wanting to try. Effort is hard, amen?!

Today I’m thankful to have had the energy and want-to to cook something a little healthier and save a little money. That’s not always the case, but today it was and I’ll count it as a win!

In the bowl: 3/4 cup black beans, 1/4 cup corn, 2 big handfuls of spinach, and two eggs. Seasoned it all with salt, pepper, garlic and smoked paprika!

Any wins y’all feel like sharing today? Let’s hear it and celebrate!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thi Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thing I’ve been eating on repeat all week):

- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (optional)*
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 serving unflavored collagen peptides
- Sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Heat the oats, water, milk and coffee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened to your liking (although keep in kind the flax seeds and cooling will thicken it even further). Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips; I like to use a whisk to make sure the collagen doesn’t clump. Pour in a bowl, sprinkle with the chocolate chips and enjoy!

*I love to add a little coffee to mine to help enhance the chocolate flavor, but you do you!
And sometimes this is what it means to “work fro And sometimes this is what it means to “work from home.” 😂
Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but thought it was worth sharing here too. When it comes to how I plan out meals, I look for 3 things:

🥗Whole foods. Not like the store (that’s called Whole Paycheck, right?), but meaning foods that haven’t been minimally processed. Fresh veggies, lean protein sources, whole grains, etc. I do have a few processed things on hand (protein bars) just in case I’m in a place where I need something SUPER quick, but that’s it. 

🥗High fiber. There are so many reasons we should be getting in plenty of fiber (Google is your friend here guys), but if I’m being honest I just feel better when I’m getting plenty of it. Leaner, more regular, more satiated. The list goes on! Besides the obvious fresh produce, I also eat plenty of legumes, whole grains (rolled oats, farro, quinoa - even though it’s a seed), flax and chia seeds.

🥗Hit my protein goals. Again, an essential nutrient. I have composition goals, and for my muscles to recover from my hard workouts I have to make sure I’m getting in enough protein. For me this means chicken, fish, and the occasional beef or pork.

Wondering - would y’all be interested in how I do my meal planning and shopping trips?  If so just drop your favorite emoji below!
It’s Friday, which means a myriad of things:

1️⃣Weekend vibes! Think soccer games, yard work, church, family time. Love it!
2️⃣The end of my meal prep. Not gonna lie, I won’t make this stew again...although the couscous was a fun addition!
3️⃣Sleeping in. HALLELUJAH.
4️⃣A chance to set up next week to be a great one!

It’s going to be a fabulous weekend y’all. What are you up to?!
#brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick #brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick myself for not showing y’all how orange these yolks were. 🍳 Eggs are one of the foods I spend a little more on because the flavor and nutrient density are worth it!

Pictured: seared mushrooms, roasted baby broccoli, bacon and 2 eggs. Not pictured: another parfait like last night’s because 😋.

What’s your brinner go-to?!
