Health & Well

How I’m combating EARLY WAKINGS (anytime btwn 4am and 6am) . I just added some info to my stories on how @takingcarababies is the queen of sleep and has saved my life... . LJ recently went from waking up at 6-6:30am to 5ish. After reading through her Top Culprits for Early Morning Wakings post here is what I’ve decided to do...... . 1. Go to bed at 7-7:15pm instead of 7:30-8pm 2. Do not feed him at 5am and especially DO NOT put him back to bed (his belly will start signaling a 5am wake up call to eat out of habit). This morning I rocked him for a little in his bassinet and he sort of dozed back off for a little. I then fed him around 6:15am. 3. Put him down for his first nap 2 hours after his DESIRED wake time (6:15am, making his nap 8:15am) even though he was technically awake around 5ish. . I’ll let ya know how it works!! In the meantime check out her blog posts and content. There is something to address literally every issue regarding sleep. See more

My little ham bone Tell me, what makes your baby laugh (like hysterically belly laugh, not just giggle). We got a tough crowd over here.

This literally takes 5 minutes to make (or however quickly you can scramble your eggs). I’m usually shoving food down my throat now so I dont really have a whole lot of time to get creative in the kitchen. I finally understand what you moms have been complaining about. . This @traderjoes pesto makes it though. I mashed some avocado, scrambled some eggs, and topped with goat cheese and siracha. It’s freaking delicious and works as breakfast or lunch. Heck, even dinner.

HELLLOOOO Instagram!!! Wow, I have been offline (as a business) for quite some time as I’ve been a little preoccupied with lovin’ on this little dude. Meet LJ, he’s 5 months. However, over the past few weeks something has been prompting me to get back on social media... but with a different intention and purpose... don’t get me wrong, you’ll still get a lot of health inspo but you’re also going to see a lot more of my day to day as a mom, wife, friend, and just human in this crazy world. I will not be accepting clients just yet, but I hope my life can serve as an encouragement this way in the meantime

Salads can get pretty boring, right? It’s always the usual toppings HOWEVER @ohsheglows constantly inspires me with her unusual topping combos and this right here is one of them. In fact, it’s been a favorite of mine for the past few years. . The greens are topped with marinated portobello mushrooms (w. balsamic dressing), caramelized red onions, pears, and walnuts. DELISHHH. . If you want to be more consistent with eating veggies, try picking 1 or 2 days of the week that you will devote to salad night. Kind of like a meatless Monday thing. Try a new salad recipe each week to keep it interesting.
