What to Expect Since I’m Expecting

Well guys, that time is coming up oh so quickly and I’m being forced to think about grown-up things like the future, insurance, and being a mom.  You know, normal things…but since I feel like I’m essentially a 21-year-old trapped in a 28-year-old body I get a little intimidated when it comes to grown up things.  But alas things are going to be changing in my life in a big way soon, and while I could not be more excited I’m also a little anxious about what that’s going to look like, how my days will change, and what the heck am I going to do about blogging?

Here’s the thing:  this little blog has brought about so much fun, love, friendship, and support that there’s no way on earth I’ll ever stop.  Nope, you guys are stuck with me!  But I’m not going to lie – since life is going to be changing a bit, I think it’s fair to assume that the blog will too.  Food always has been and always will be a big part of my life, but if I’m going to be fair to myself and my family I’m going to have to be honest about the fact that making up fun recipes is likely going to go on the proverbial back burner for a few weeks after delivery.  I’ll still be cooking, and I’ll still be sharing those recipes, but the extra little oohmph! that I normally put in there?  Well, it may be on hiatus for a while.  The thing is I don’t know what it’s like to have a baby so I can’t say for sure one way or another, but my hope and plan is to still share what’s going on in our lives and what’s going in our bellies.

What you can be sure to find, though, is a lot of thoughts about what in the world is happening in my life, how it’s changing my heart, my mind, and my body.  How being a mommy is influencing our marriage, our pups, and the free time.  It may be a lot, and it may be a lot of information that is weird or a little TMI at times, but I never said that this blog would solely be about food forever and ever amen.

Just most of the time 🙂

So in general you may find more or less of the same with more thoughts about being a mom, a predictably ridiculous number of baby photos and chats about feeding times, panic attacks and so on.  And you know what?  I can’t wait to take y’all on this journey with us!

    Hi Heather! I’m a newish reader and have been loving your blog so far! Just wanted to let you know that I’m personally very excited to hear TONS about motherhood, including all the dirty details, because I’ll be right there with you! (I’m due in March with my first.) I love the recipes, too, but I think I’m going to love LOVE the baby pics and motherhood stories. Looking forward to it! Best of luck with your delivery!

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
