With two older girls and a 9 year age gap between our youngest and this baby, we are starting fresh, purchasing “all the things” again. Except… I’m not. I’m keeping it as simple as possible this time around. This time less is more. Many questions were submitted on social media from exercise in pregnancy and preparing for pregnancy at an older age, nutrition and supplements to delivery and vaccines, I answered as much as I could here on The Boom Clap Podcast Episode #99 Philosophy on sharing birth information As moms we all have different ideas of what (besides a healthy baby) we desire when it ..read more

How to Stock Up on Foods that Nourish Your Family

It’s March 2020 and we are mid second week of being asked to stay in with the exception  of essential jobs, grocery shopping and other things that fall under basic needs. The term social distancing is echoing across the news and social media.   While this isn’t a snow storm (my midwesterners get this) and there’s no need to hoard because we should still be physically able to get to the store, we do want to stock up a bit so we can stay home more and be out and about less. I mean, there are weeks I’m at the store three or four times just because I forgot one little thing or changed my mind ..read more

Don’t Blame the Holiday

It’s that time of year again, the time of year when we stand in the grocery aisle waiting on our turn to purchase all the goods we are picking up to feast on at that next holiday get together.  While we wait we have the opportunity to check out all the magazine covers.  If you have little ones that try to touch all of the last minute purchase items strategically located in the check out line, you are probably just surviving the wait, saying “don’t touch that” over and over.  But, if you are in the ‘I see all the magazine headlines’ camp, you’ll notice a hefty number telling you they have the ..read more

Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes

With my husband being a farmer, beautiful fall weekends mean combine rides and lots of time where it’s just us girls hanging together, me and my two sweet daughters.  So sometimes our meal times are a little different than usual and the meals themselves can tend to be a little less than traditional. Last Sunday was everything you think of when you think fall. The sun was shining but there was a enough of a chill in the air to wear a sweatshirt. It was absolutely beautiful.  So, when we got home from church I had all the fall feels, and wanted some fall flavor.  So I went with pumpkin pancakes ..read more

Gluten Free Banana Pancakes

My girls love pancake day and honestly, so do I. Eggs are my usual breakfast time choice with occasional oatmeal mornings now and then. But, every once in a while I’ll eat the pancakes with my kiddos. It’s hard not to when you are the one cooking them. Every time I decide to go ahead and have the pancakes, I end up feeling run down almost immediately after the last bite has hit my lips.  It’s not the protein packed breakfast I’m used to. Plus pancakes made with regular flour have an added bloating effect on me. So a few weeks ago we had some over ripe bananas and I decided to whip up a gluten ..read more

Summer officially starts next week but it’s been hot here in the midwest for almost a month.  So, we’ve already been diving into summer traditions.  Softball, swimming, bike riding, and yep, ice-cream.  We are enjoying summer. A few weeks ago when it  was 90° and smothering humidity my girls were laying on a blanket under the shade tree when one of them made the observation that it would be really great if their mom would bring them snacks.  The other one added it would be even better if that snack were a milkshake.  Naturally, right?! I mean hot summer days, kids and ice-cream go together l ..read more

I’ve said it and I’ll say it again, I’m not great with recipes.  I often think of something that sounds good pour the ingredients that I think will make it together, then just hope whatever I’ve dreamed up turns out.  My imagination is my recipe book.  This is exactly what happened with these Peanut Butter Coconut No Bake Bites. My husband and I were planning to take our oldest, seven year old daughter, to the Indy 500.  It’s something I attended with my family several times growing up.  I always had a blast and find it to be just a great memory to look back upon.  Not to mention, it still fl ..read more

6 Simple and Useful Ways to Stay Healthy

“Remember, simple ideas are still useful.” I heard these brilliant words on the radio yesterday afternoon and they completely struck me! Let’s just soak that up for a minute! In a world where over complicated and over the top crazy everything rules, at a time when many of us just finished hauling loads of gifts home from Christmas get togethers, simple is still relevant! All I could think was thank God! This profound statement was made after the daily segment, “on this day in history” that airs on a local radio station. On this day in history, January 3rd 1888, Marvin C. Stone obtained the p ..read more

Chili with a Twist

I’m a big fan of chili this time of year. There aren’t many things that go as well with a cool fall day, or even a cold winter day, as well as chili. I mean it’s even called chili, maybe spelled differently but the word’s associated with being cold! I guess coffee, goes pretty well with a cold day too, but coffee doesn’t fill your belly! Today, we are focusing on filling your belly with warm goodness! You can ask my college roommate, we lived on three things throughout our years at Purdue. Chili, chips and salsa and…. well we won’t talk about the third. Let’s just say we’ve grown up a lot and ..read more
