If this is life with one boy (getting tied up “so you don’t run away mom!”) what is life with two boys going to be like?! 😂🤷🏼‍♀️👩‍👦‍👦💙💙 . At least I’m not too worried about the exhaustion part this time around... I know I’ll feel much better about the newborn phase because I’ve got some good vitamins that are actually working, and helping with my energy, anxiety and mental sanity 🙈👍 . I’ve had so many pregnant mom friends🤰🏼as well as new mamas 🤱🏼 asking what I use personally, because they aren’t noticing any differences taking their usual vitamins.... I’m telling ya, whole foods based vitamins make SUCH a difference, because your body is able to actually absorb and use them! And some good probiotics are a lifesaver for immunity, stress and digestion 🙏 . I got these two messages this past week, so I know it’s not just me feeling this way 💕 . ❇️ Mama of a 2 year old: “So today is my going to be my 4th day taking these and I can’t believe what a difference it has made! I worked a 13 hour shift yesterday, and had lasting energy and mental clarity through it all. Thank you so much for introducing me to these” 🙏 . ❇️ Mom with an infant: “OMG! I love the vitamins! This is my first day taking them and I feel amazing 💕 I had been feeling really crappy for the past week, and about an hour after taking my vitamins I felt amazing! I am totally focused, I am not nauseous, and I have a ton of energy.” . If you feel like you’re barely dragging through the day, can’t focus or remember where you put your phone/car keys/child, and are in a constant state of feeling stressed out...that is just your body sending out warning signals ⚠️ Often when you give it what it’s truly craving, real foods and nutrients (not just chocolate, caffeine or Christmas cookies 😂) you will feel SO much better 💕 #foodisfuel #realifehealthyliving #vitaminsmatter #boymom💙 #tiredmama

“Be strong in the Lord and never give up hope.” 💕 . Awesome Christ-centered yoga class today focused on HOPE, perfect for getting into the Christmas spirit 🎄Lisa you are doing amazing things!! 🙏 . . . #reallifehealthyliving #yogafaith #adventseason #treepose

MOM RULE #1: If you give your child the beater, you get to lick the spatula 😂 . A few more hacks I learned making these ❇️Mini Healthy Brownies❇️: . 👍Silicone mini muffin pans are 💯% worth their weight in gold! Look how nicely they all popped out (normally this recipe sticks to paper wrappers like crazy!) . 👍 Putting the batter in a ziplock bag then snipping the corner = less mess when filling! . 👍The natural dyes are really cool, but they only do pastel colors (They’re for kids to decorate at Birthday Party for Baby Jesus, so they’ll just love that they’re green, right?!) . 👍When your child acts grossed out that you hid 3 CUPS of shredded zucchini in two pans of brownies (a recipe that he’s eaten 6 times before and loved), just tell him it’s a secret and he will suddenly think it’s cool 🤔😂 . 👍Diffusing citrus oils 🍊🍋 while baking lifts your energy & mood, but also keeps you from getting stressed when brownie batter is accidentally flung all over the kitchen by your over-ambitious helper 😉 . PS there’s no gluten, dairy or refined sugar in this recipe! If you want a copy let me know 👍 . Also, I realized we pretty much covered every school subject in one hour of baking 😂📚 #learnbydoing . ✅Math and Reading: reading the recipe, measuring and adding up ingredients, sounding out words and figuring out the letters they start with. ✅Art and Science: mixing colors, talking about why big cupcakes take longer than minis to cook. ✅ Character & God: talking about sharing our favorite things with our friends, Jesus's birthday, etc. ✅ Health & Nutrition: why we used maple syrup instead of sugar, that zucchini and vegetables help our bodies feel better, too many treats make us feel tired and cranky, etc. . . . #reallifehealthyliving #healthierbrownies #glutenfree #dairyfree #learnathome #boymom💙

When you get that tickle starting in the back of your throat...this numbs it right up, and helps support the immune system so it can do its job! 🍋🍊🍯 . We were just talking last night during an Oils class I was leading (this one was in person, not online) about being afraid to ingest oils, because of all the conflicting information out there! Knowing what is safe (and what isn’t!) has helped so much, especially during pregnancy 💕 . . . #reallifehealthyliving #naturalmedicine #ohholynight #localhoney #7monthspregnant

I just realized this weekend will be 7 months, it’s so true that later pregnancies fly by compared to the first!🤰🏼 . It’s funny, I keep hearing “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given” everywhere I go..... the verse in Isaiah, in the Christmas song 🎄, in a devotion book...and it reminds me to be so grateful, not just for Jesus, but also because for awhile I didn’t know if we ever would have another son (or daughter) with all the things the doctors said about my Lyme & thyroid issues! . And then once I got pregnant, the worries start that those problems could effect the baby too.... But I know God is in control and has it all planned out. And he will give us answers when we need them, and patience if we don’t get them in the timeframe we’d like. 😉 . Plus as a friend pointed out, I have so many more ways to take care of my health this time around, that I didn’t even know about with Nolan! Thank you Jesus for natural medicine and essential oils 🙏🙏🙏 Bonus: We haven’t been sick every month with the flu, viruses, sinus issues, allergies, etc.!!! . Since we finally remembered to take some belly pics over the weekend, Mike snapped a few...I swear they were taken a minute apart, I just moved to get out of the sunlight but my belly looks twice as big in one over the other 😂 #cameraangles #7months #or9months #naturalmedicine #boymom💙

It’s beginning to look (and smell!) a lot like Christmas! 🌟🎄👑 . We baked some healthier cookies (Peanut Butter Buckeyes and Gingerbread) 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟 And I’ve been diffusing this mix of oils all weekend that smells like Christmas Trees and Holiday Spices....it also helps with stress and mood 😉 🙌 . What’s your favorite Christmas scent, that brings back old memories? 💕🎄 . . . #christmasiscoming #happybirthdayjesus #christmascookies #glutenfree #smellsofchristmas #keepcalmandstressless
