Just wanted to drop a note and say Hi! I love you all and I miss you all. All is well here 💜

But, life is hectic and heavy and hard right now—and I know so many of you feel the same. So, I’ve been turning inward, focusing on my family, and the present and spending less social media time.

I wish you all love and light and hope and peace. And, I’ll see y’all again soon 💜

Ok. Time for a new house project!

We had to take apart our pantry last week to get new floors put in, so that’s the first thing getting put back together before the rest of the kitchen remodel begins.

I’ll share the finished project here when I’m done; but follow along in my stories to get all the in between fun 🤪

My current reading list 🥗

What we put in our bodies everyday is one of the biggest determinants of our health.

And, we spend a lot of time talking about the foods or chemicals that are bad for our health.

But, let’s spend some more time talking about the foods and the ingredients we eat that can make us better.

I’ve been leaning heavily into healing foods to help with my current autoimmune flare, and I have to tell you, I’ve seen some pretty significant improvements— without medications or supplements.

So, the next few weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, our biggest food day of the year, I’ll be sharing more science about specific foods—the good and the not so good.

And, I’ll share some of my favorite healing food resources throughout this month. But as always, DM me or comment below if you’re looking for something asap!

Its Election Day! Time to exercise your civic duty and honor this great responsibility and vote for the leaders in our country 🇺🇸

As a woman, a mother to daughters, and a health care professional, there is so much at stake for our future today.

I voted to protect my health, my daughters’ health, the health of my patients, and to protect the right to care for my patients in the way we (me and my patient) decides is best for them.

And, I did it by walking to our polling place, pushing a double stroller with both girls in it and wearing baby brother. Because as the Queen B says, ‘Girls. We Run This Mother’ 💪🏼👩🏻‍🍼🧕🙎🏿‍♀️👩🏽‍🌾🤰🏻👩🏼‍⚕️💪🏼

Just a gentle reminder as all the yuck is going around—one of the best ways to keep your germs to yourself is washing your hands with soap and water and covering your coughs and sneezes 🧼😷🤧

And—don’t forget to update your flu, pertussis, and c*vid vaccines. They all help reduce your chance of getting sick, help you get less sick if you do catch one, and help you stop the spread.

Pertussis (whooping cough) is seeing a big resurgence in the last few years and is deadly to infants. If you haven’t gotten a tetanus shot in the last 7 years, it’s time to get another.

That especially helpful for your friends and family who are immunocompromised and can’t get vaccinated, like little Joseph here 💜

I got my flu 💉 a few weeks ago, my pertussis 💉 in the spring (it’s good for 7ish years) and getting my c*vid 💉 right now, all at my local pharmacy.

Have you scheduled yours yet??

FINALLY! We are SO excited that the girls start school today! 🚌

Emory’s excited for friends and to head back to school after four long months off.

Hazel’s excited to play dress up and head to school for the first time.

Joseph’s excited for some solo mama time (and a little quiet)

And, Mama’s excited for some routine, time to get settled in our new house without 3 kids running around, and time to get back on here with y’all! 💜

I need this reminder right now more than ever.

Taking ten minutes for your body every day won’t take away from any other commitments.

Don’t think you have time? Take a look at your screen time counter on your phone. I bet there’s ten minutes there to spare—I know there is on mine.

So, turn on a guided meditation. Sit outside. Make a fruit and veggie filled smoothie. Move your body. Whatever speaks to you.

Happy Labor Day Weekend 💜

This week I’m working on getting back to some of our usual routine. The boxes are mostly unpacked. We are far from organized or settled. We have two more weeks before school starts. But, we’re finding a new rhythm in our new home and new state.

First thing I’m focusing on to get back into our cleaner habits: food.

When time gets crunched, food is one of the first things we look to for more convenient options.

So, today I’m trading the packaged protein shake for a fruit and veggie filled smoothie, and we’re making bread for the first time in four months.

Baby steps to get us back into a cleaner, healthier life 💜

All the craziness, with our many life changes these last few months, slowed to a halt last week when Joseph joined our family a week early 💙

We’ve spent the last week learning how to be a family of 5 and how to add a boy into our crazy crew.

It’ll probably be a few weeks before I pop back onto your feed with cleaner living tips, between enjoying our new little one and moving out of our temporary apartment and into our new home, but I have plenty to share once I have the bandwidth. Love you all 💙

Hi friends! It’s been a hot minute, and for good reason!

Since early May, we’ve:

🏠sold our townhouse in Virginia
🏠sold our home in South Carolina
🏠bought a new home in Maryland
🏠moved into a temporary apartment in CHS
💄 processed Beautycounter’s temporary closing
😷survived the stomach bug from hell
✈️ survived 2 long Steve work trips
🤰🏻and kept growing a baby

We’re slowly adjusting to apartment living with 2 littles and a dog, while we’re on the final stretch for baby’s arrival.

But, I miss y’all and I will hop on as I have time (and energy 🤰🏻) to share! Meanwhile, enjoy the view from our fourth floor apartment

Thank you so much for taking part in my Spring Cleaning for a Cleaner Life month (even if it took me a little longer than a month)! 💜

I so enjoyed sharing quick and easy tips for you to incorporate in your daily life for a healthier, less toxic life for you and your family.

Did you have any favorite tips? Any you’ve incorporated into your daily routine yet? Tell me in the comments below!

Let’s kick the week off with a little bit of science, so we can better understand how mental wellness can affect our physical health.

Our body produces a hormone called cortisol, often described as the “stress hormone”. But, cortisol isn’t all bad.

At normal levels, cortisol helps control your metabolism, helps suppress inflammation, helps regulate blood pressure and blood sugar, and helps with your sleep-wake cycles. Basically, it helps your body maintain homeostasis—the happy medium your body likes to live at.

The problem with cortisol comes when our bodies are in a constant state of stress—which, let’s be real—a lot of us are on a daily basis. Then our bodies are releasing more and more cortisol, which leads to poor sleep, weight gain, high blood pressure, high heart rate, high blood sugar, feelings of anxiety and overwhelm.

Over time, those things turn into high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, anxiety and depression, heart attacks, strokes.

Scary, right?

The good news is is that managing your stress levels will reduce your cortisol levels. And, reducing your cortisol levels back to normal can help minimize (and even reverse) any damage done by high cortisol levels in the past.

So, the better we can manage our stress levels, the healthier we will be, both physically and mentally
