Embrace Natural, Live Healthy, Be Free

  • I spent the majority of yesterday minimalizing, simplifying, and redoing my entire house in order to embrace the Danish concept of hygge. 🌱 If you're not familiar with that, it basically means an environment of coziness, contentment, and a welcoming atmosphere. It's about being intimate, friendly, and present. There is no real decor or floor plans to embrace this, but rather a mindset shift. 💕 I've been under way too much stress lately, and it's been affecting my health negatively. 😞 So, I thought creating an environment in the place I spend the most time would help my emotions, and I was right. . My house is serene, simple, and I'm actively being content and present today. Now all I need is a hot cup of coffee. ☕ What's bringing you contentment today? . . .
  • How much time do you spend in nature everyday? 🌱 To be honest, I wish we were outside more. There is something so peaceful, calming, and serene about lying in the grass watching the clouds roll by that reminds me everything is just gonna be okay. ♥️ Buttttt, a) I'm deathly afraid of wood ticks. b) We have way too many West Nile mosquitos this year and it's freaking me out. c) I'm a wimp when it comes to heat. 🙈 What are your excuses for not going outside more? 😋 BONUS QUESTION: What's your favorite natural **tried and tested** bug spray? 🌲 . . . .
  • As it turns out, my gut is in worse shape than I thought after pregnancy and antibiotics. 🤔 (no surprise here.) . It appears that the little guy is reacting to the same foods I react too. I'm figuring this out because we both have symptoms simultaneously after ingestion of an offender. . And still, we continue down the long, never ending path toward gut healing. 🌱 Have you ever healed your gut? How did you do it? GAPS? AIP? Supplements? Any other methods? . I'd love to hear some encouraging stories! The little bub and I need some. ♥️ (from of mom who is tired of eating chicken and rice.) 🙈 . . . .
  • Do you ever just feel like....so done? . Not going to lie, this past week was hard. 😞 I found myself exhausted, worn out, irritable, sad, short with my toddler, and emotionally spiraling everytime my son reacted to a food. . But then, my hubby reminded me God wants us to find joy in trials and hard days. So that's my new thing now...finding joy even when I'm not feeling it. ♥️ Motherhood is hard, but we're not alone. Never alone. . I found myself being drawn to these four oils for no particular reason other than that's what my body was telling me {neroli, frankincense, lavender, and balsam fir}. 🌸 Let me tell you, this is a very peaceful, grounding, and uplifting scent. . What are you diffusing today?
  • It can be hard to sort through the mountains of advice on the internet when building a baby registry for that first new addition, especially when you want to take a more natural and minimalist approach! 🙈 Head over to the blog (link in bio) to read about some of my most loved items I'd recommend to include on any baby registry! 🙃 Some highlights are: 👶Baby Castile soap 👶Non-toxic teethers 👶 Muslin blankets 👶A hand pump . What are your new baby must haves? ♥️ . . . .
  • We finally made it back home and will stay here awhile after a long summer of travel and weddings! ☀️ For the rest of summer I want focus on these things: 🌱 healing for baby J and I 🌱 simplifying and minimalizing every aspect of my life 🌱 breathing, resting, and preparing for what God has in store in the next season of life . What are your end of summer goals? ♥️ . . . .
  • Do you buy local food and products? . I don't enough, but I would really like to more! Buying local is the best choice for sustainability and quality. 🌱 What are your favorite local options? . . . .
  • And then you become a mother, and the you that once was is gone. . She is replaced by a stronger woman, a women with the boldness, wisdom, and courage to do anything, be anything, and give her all for her children. . ♥️ #healingbabyj . . .
