A kid favorite upgraded! When you are thinking ab

We are trying something new. I have three boys.

We are trying something new.

I have three boys. My oldest is 8, my middle son is 6.5 and my youngest is almost 3. They are full of energy, stubborn, don’t listen, fight with each other but then two seconds later beg me to let them sleep together. Normal, I think so. 🤷‍♀️

Regardless, this summer I felt I was failing them. We weren’t handling conflict well. We weren’t supporting them to learn how to process emotions. We could do better.

I committed to myself to put them and my family first. I am still working, but stepped away from a lot and decided I wanted to focus on them. Learn more. Learn differently. Do better.

Today, I stand in a different place. I have been learning how to be their mom (and how to stay somewhat sane in the meantime).

What did I do?

First things first - I dove into some recommended books.
📕Whole Brain Child
📘No Drama Discipline
📗How To Talk So Your Kids Will Listen and Listen So Your Kids Will Talk

The brain is a fascinating thing and the bottom line is our kids don’t know how to process emotion when they get upset and we have to help them learn how and in some cases (probably a lot) teach them how to relearn to do it correctly.

Second, I am practicing. We have a long way to go but we are really trying.

These two boys test me, but every night before I go to bed, I go in to give them a kiss and more importantly just look at them and remind myself they are little people trying to learn how to BE in this world.

They need us. They depend on us. It is our responsibility to guide them.

I want my boys to know how to express emotion, but more importantly express it correctly.

I want my boys to have conflict, but to still be respectful and to appropriately find resolution.

I want my boys to understand they will not always do it right, but next time they can do better.

And I want my boys to know how important I think my job is to be their mom.

Do you want to hear more about what I have been learning?

If you are a momma you will probably agree - you will start to feel like you are figuring it out and then onto the next thing but until then I’ll keep doing my best.

Tips, tips and more tips. Balancing your blood

Tips, tips and more tips.

Balancing your blood sugar is one of my three foundational strategies to help you prevent health issues. It is SO IMPORTANT!

Not only for the long term effects on your body, but also for those day to day feelings.

No one wants to have to fight cravings, energy slumps and mood issues because of the highs and lows on the blood sugar roller coaster!

Earlier this year I wore a continuous blood glucose monitor to optimize my own personal health and test out the tried and true strategies I teach my clients.

Now I am going to share a few with you!

1️⃣ Starting your day with a protein / fat heavy breakfast. This sets your curve for the entire day.
▫️This is opposite of standard American diet. Think smoothies, eggs with veggies and avocado or even dinner leftovers! There is no such thing as “breakfast food” - it’s all just food!
▫️If you want carbs, make sure to pair with protein or fat (think nut butters, hemp seeds, avocado). 
2️⃣ Make sure every meal has protein, fat, fiber
▫️This is part of the strategy I teach in my Well Bell Nourishment course.

3️⃣ Focus on whole foods and don’t drink your carbs.
▫️I know sorry, but it’s true 🤪. The Industrial Revolution and food industry is destroying our country’s health.  
4️⃣ Don’t forget movement, sleep and stress all affect your blood sugar as well.
▫️Take a walk after a large meal, prioritize sleep and don’t eat in a stressed mood or you will store more fat and shut off digestion!

In my Well Belly Nourishment course I do a deep dive and teach you my strategy of HOW to eat daily, regardless of where you are.

Check that out at the link in my bio.

📷: this is one of my favorite lunches that I can pull together in under 5 minutes.
