2 months old⁣

It is hard to pick just one photo of this beautiful girl. So here are just a few of our family photos from a few weeks ago by @cosgrovefilms !

Just like when a child is told “no” they fixat

Just like when a child is told “no” they fixate on it and want it more, ending with a tantrum. ⁣
(Maybe this is on my mind because I am dealing with a two year old 🤣). ⁣
⁣
We can be similar. ⁣
⁣
When we are told we can’t have something, most often we want it more.⁣
⁣
A restrictive diet that lasts too long can create a poor relationship with food and being scared to eat when the “diet” is done. ⁣
⁣
Pushing aside those restrictions can actually clear your anxiety around food. ⁣
⁣
With the holidays coming, this is the perfect time to build a healthy relationship with food!⁣
⁣
I see you girl and know what it feels like!⁣

Bryce fed a giraffe 1 piece of romaine lettuce that was $3… and you think eating healthy as humans is expensive.. think again! ⁣
⁣
In all seriousness eating healthy doesn’t have to be expensive. It all depends if you prioritize your wellness before it turns to an illness. ⁣
⁣
You know what else is expensive… ⁣
(PS these may be needed at moments but not as much as I am hearing these days)⁣
🍟take out or going out to eat⁣
🧋expensive sugary coffee drinks ⁣
💅 pampering yourself ⁣
📱 the next best tech ‘needed’⁣
🛒 cart full of processed foods and drinks that will not fill you up and keep you wanting more ⁣
⁣
Let me know if you need help prioritizing your wellness to prevent illnesses!⁣

One month old🤍

Now let’s slow time down and take in each moment a bit more.

Legit Labor Day for me 4 weeks ago was a bit crazy

Legit Labor Day for me 4 weeks ago was a bit crazy. ⁣
I wasn’t going to post this photo, it isn’t that flattering but giving labor is filled with sweat, tears, pain, and love. (Yes, I wore the mask most of the time since I was rushed up to L&D, I honestly forgot I had it on.)⁣
⁣If you want to hear some of my labor story continue reading and I will do a blog post on more details for my own memories and for all asking about natural labor. ⁣
⬇️⁣
I didn’t think I was going to have her early, since my son came 2 weeks late. So the week before, I worked a full week and traveled to Blue Bell, Pa for work on Fri., Sat. I worked out and weeded outside (ended in triage at 12 pm for extreme itching and went home), Sun. I started the day at church with my son. My contractions were 7 min apart and I had a feeling she was coming that day. Went home emailed work, clients, did my nails, cleaned and did laundry (hate coming home to a messy house). We were supposed to go to @reece_wilke 30th birthday party at 3. At 2:15 my husband said I can’t go to a party and have to stop talking with every 5 min contraction 🤣… instead we went to the hospital (was hoping for the birth center to be done— next time 🤷🏼‍♀️). ⁣
⁣Triage wouldn’t take me back, even though I was crying with contractions at this point. So thankful for my midwife that pushed to get me back to check me and guess what… I was 10 cm already! ⁣
I was rushed up to L&D, put on antibiotics for GBS +, made her break my water, and at 5:18pm I pushed her out. ⁣
⁣My second natural delivery, much shorter and not as much back labor, other than her being sunny side up (didn’t know that was painful 🤷🏼‍♀️) with the umbilical cord around her neck. ⁣
[I have a blog about my first natural delivery with extreme back labor]⁣
⁣So thankful for my midwife, husband, and awesome L&D nurse for letting me yell, motivating me, and telling me I am strong. I don’t do natural labor for other people, I do it because I wouldn’t want to go to any other midwife/Obgyn and I like to see what my body can handle (just like working out or running a marathon). Natural, epidural, or c-section are all hard, all woman are strong no matter the type of labor!⁣

A day filled with pb&j and @mancoandmanco pizza on

A day filled with pb&j and @mancoandmanco pizza on the beach and finished with carnival rides and cakes. ⁣
⁣
Years ago I would have never allowed all these foods in one day. Now I realize that food doesn’t control me and I will not let it ruin special memories. ⁣
⁣
If you are struggling with your relationship with food, I want to encourage you that it doesn’t have to be that way. Change won’t happen over night, but the memories (without the stress of food) is refreshing.⁣

Happy first day of school for so many kids and tea

Happy first day of school for so many kids and teachers today!⁣
⁣
The focus is mostly on kids, but I want to put it on our teachers! I have had many teachers and counselors that have touched my life and taught me many lessons, life and character lessons as well. ⁣
⁣
These nutrition steps are important for teachers to:⁣
✏️ be energized the whole day (you can’t run a car without fuel.. nutrition is your fuel)⁣
✏️ to best handle the students⁣
✏️ for their mental health (poor nutrition has been shown to worsen symptoms of depression, anxiety, etc.)⁣
✏️ for blood sugar control (prevent drops that can lead to irritability, lightheaded, fatigue)⁣
✏️ prevent dehydration (signs: tired, lightheaded, headaches)⁣
✏️ prevent ‘before dinner’ or ‘late night’ bingeing or snacking on foods that aren’t leading to your goals ⁣
✏️ to have energy to enjoy their family when they are done work ⁣
⁣
Teachers you are making a difference in these kid’s lives and I thank you for that. This year especially, these students need the best teacher to be there for them and teach them lessons they will remember for life! Stay healthy and go inspire your students!⁣
⁣
Teachers share your favorite tips on staying healthy ⬇️ ⁣

Been busy doing lots of breastfeeding lately or is it really called chest feeding now?🤔 ⁣

World Breastfeeding Week… just the right time as

World Breastfeeding Week… just the right time as I prep myself to begin breastfeeding again any day now (praying baby B is a good feeder like her brother was).

Swipe to make sure you are eating properly to get the most out of our your breastfeeding/pumping journey.

Save to go back to this when you are feeding to make sure you are nourishing yourself to be the healthiest momma for your little one!
When momma is healthy and nourished, the rest of the family benefits!

Matcha Monday Motivation⁣ ⁣ I have been hooked

Matcha Monday Motivation⁣
⁣
I have been hooked on iced matcha as I come to the end of my pregnancy. It’s dangerous when you have an awesome coffee shop in the middle of your morning walk and money on your Apple pay. But an absolutely perfect start to the week. ⁣
⁣
My question is… how do you start your Monday and how do you set the tone for your new week?⁣
⁣
My Monday morning routine (for as long as I can before I deliver):⁣
➰5:30 gym session ⁣
➰pick up some fresh fruit from @duffieldsfarm (today I got blackberries and peaches)⁣
➰get home in time before Bryce wakes up so the hubs can sleep longer⁣
➰eat a high protein breaky ⁣
➰Walk with Bryce to see all the things on Broadway (we visit the trains and “zoo”)⁣ and listen to my podcasts @pastorrickwarren @zimism @proverbs31ministries
➰today treated myself to a matcha latte from @endgraincoffee ⁣
➰shower and get ready for work⁣
➰improve the health of all my amazing clients from 9-5! ⁣
⁣
Focus on the outcome versus how you feel at that moment. Quit with the excuses and get to work. ⁣
⁣
⁣
✨Taking clients (link in bio or DM) — Cash pay and if you have health insurance you are in luck! Most plans have FREE coverage for nutrition counseling and I accept most plans. ⁣
What a win… improve your health with me for FREE (well get the most out of the money you pay for your health insurance)! ⁣
