The Nourishing Mother

Hi it’s me. It’s been a long time. And that’s okay. I’m sharing a few things on the blog today about my focus for the next few weeks and hopefully creating some habits that will stick.

We need protein. Our bodies need protein. Our muscles need protein. Our blood sugar needs protein. Our energy needs protein.

I’m always conscious of my protein intake and admittedly it’s difficult to reach my goals if I’m not super aware. These are two things I always try to have on hand if I’m in a rush and need something quick or if I’ve been hitting the carbs a little harder than I wish…the breastfeeding hunger levels are no joke!

What are some of your favorite protein snacks?

Food during the postpartum period is severely underrated and not talked about enough. After giving birth your body is looking for warming and easy-to-digest foods and that’s usually what you’ll crave. My top three meals postpartum as a nutrition consultant are…drum roll please!

-chicken soup

-beef pot roast

-protein oatmeal

We are in the final weeks of being a family of three and I’m feeling all the feels. It seems so bittersweet ending this chapter of just being with Ace, so I’m trying to soak it up as much as I can.

I’ve also been in full preparation mode and am slowly ticking off my postpartum prep list to hopefully have a very restful postpartum experience. I wouldn’t say my experience with Ace was bad, but it definitely was intense.

One of the things I’ve been working on is a free PDF on exactly how I am preparing for my second postpartum experience and creating a step-by-step, week-by-week guide to walk you through what I’m doing and recommend.

I would LOVE to hear from all the other mothers out there on something you did to prepare for your postpartum experience that you were grateful for or something you wished you would have prepared for. Let me know in the comments or send me a message!

Our family is growing! We’re expecting baby #2 in March and it has been a whirlwind for the past few months because we also BOUGHT A HOUSE! Let me just say I don’t recommend buying and house and moving during the first trimester…iykyk!

To be honest it feels like we’ve been in survival mode and just trying to make it though the days, BUT I’ve hit the 2nd trimester and feel like a new woman with a new sense of motivation, so fingers crossed there will be more content to come 🙂

I’ve also been wrestling with how this app fits into my daily life and I think I’ve come to the realization that I am just not built for quick spur of the moment content right now. I’m enjoying writing posts and blog post and keeping my newsletter active! So there might not be much action on IG stories that’s okay with me for right now.

If you want to be in the know and get exclusive info DM me to get on the newsletter!

👋🏼 I kinda disappeared for a bit because I feel like I have a never ending struggle of using this platform for work and learning and just using it as a distraction.

But we’ve had A LOT happening over here and I’m thinking of sharing the news with my newsletter first, so if you haven’t signed up you can do it in the link in my bio or DM me!

Thank you for being here 🧡

Here is a hilarious photo of Ace with goggles for the first time 😂
