After school yoga--even minions namaste ;) #yoga #namaste #zen #kids #exercise #daughters

My oldest daughter challenged her little sisters to a Chopped/Master Chef Jr competition. They had to use clementines, dates, and toasted coconut to create "unique, creative, and delicious snacks." They then explained their dish while she tasted and critiqued. What a creative way for her to get little sisters to make her food. I'm impressed #kids #kidsinthekitchen #daughters #masterchefjunior #healthysnacks #glutenfree #paleo

I always have frozen homemade bone broth on hand, but since our youngest has double ear infections and will have to be on a round of antibiotics, I'm immediately preparing more broth to replace the ones I'll be putting into soup tonight. Along with her ear infections, we found out her second set of ear tubes came out, meaning we might have to go for a third round...meanwhile, I plan on increasing her probiotic, colostrum, raw honey, and broth intake to minimize the negative e

Spring Break means our daughters are fortunate to spend a lot of time with (both sets) the grandparents! It warms my heart to see the photos that my mom-in-law sent me of the girlies in the kitchen--the oldest (who has a love of desserts) making the family recipe of caramel, and the two youngest preparing a fruit salad for today's brunch. Not only do I love seeing them enjoy their time together, but I appreciate that our parents are empowering our daughters and giving them th

Gluten free and somewhat paleoish version of a well-loved comfort food: Mac N Cheese. Using this small list of simple ingredients: Kerrygold butter to sauté onions, gluten free & non-GMO brown rice pasta, and raw milk cheese (this is a fave we buy at trader joes), and applewood bacon to add to pasta once it's done (with added butter as needed). Salt and pepper, and call it a day. My two little ones wanted to help prepare our GF Mac N Cheese--little asked if she could put the

Well, that was a surprise. While snow was predicted for today, even the local meteorologists thought the temps would be above freezing and everything would quickly melt. What started off as a relatively normal Friday of going to school quickly turned into ISDs asking all parents to pick their kiddos up before the roads turned bad, as temps stayed below freezing. The girlies got to play in--what is considered in our part of the country--"deep" snow and have the schoollunch the

While we were trying to keep busy indoors during yesterday's snow day, my girlies put together their lunch for today. Not too bad, eh? In our Easy Lunchboxes, from left to right, oldest to youngest daughter, mini non-GMO cucumbers, rapes, ‪egg muffins (made with organic, cage free eggs, onions sautéed in @kerrygoldusa butter, bacon, and broccoli), clementine, Tillamook cheese, and Elana's Pantry paleo chocolate cupcakes. I prepared the egg muffins and cupcakes on ‪Sunday Prep

Day 2 of Snow-Day-Stay-at-Home-Day: weights, bands, and body weight exercises with the three monkeys. They held their own for the hour of fun work we put in to the background of music. #exercise #family #weights #rebounding #minitrampoline #snowday #kids #selfcare

Might be icy cold outside, but we're staying warm up in here! Snow-day-stay-at-home-day yoga, stretching, and meditation with my 3 monkeys. Next, mini trampoline jumping, Just Dance, and lunch-prepping. #snowday #yoga #kids #exercise #selfcare

The love you have for your kiddos/partner/significant other counts way more than the food you make for them...I love showing them how much I care by slipping love notes into lunch boxes, snack bags, backpacks, near their breakfast plate, and just wherever I can sneak it in;) #schoollunchlovenote #kids #myfamilymyeverything
