  • We had the best time on our little family vacation, but ever since we returned home I’ve had so much anxiety. Does that ever happen to you? You go away, take a little break, and then “re-entry” (as I like to call it) feels that much harder? ________ I’ve had anxiety for probably about as long as I can remember. But I didn’t always know that’s what it was. I just remember having an anxious feeling, like I should be “doing more”, but didn’t always know what it was. ______ For the longest time, I tried fighting my anxiety - overcoming it. But that got me nowhere. I realize now that I will probably always struggle with anxiety. So my only choice is to learn how to recognize it, accept it, and hopefully channel that energy into something good. _______ That anxiety that at times can feel overwhelming, is also now the same energy that pushes me to do more, to try new things, pursue my passions, and get out of my zone. ________ I may not always be successful at channeling my anxiety for good....but it’s certainly something I’m working on. Luckily for me, I’ll probably have lots of practice in my future. . #graceinthecrumbs #embracingtheseasons #intentionalliving #mindfulliving #embracingtheeveryday #createalifeyoulove #anxietyawareness #childhoodunplugged #unitedinmotherhood #motherhoodalive #ctblogger
  • Sometimes it’s the simplest dishes that make me the happiest. I have been CRUSHING some serious hummus these days . I love it because it’s a treat I can feel good about devouring - oh and did I mention that it’s down right delicious! If you haven’t been making your own hummus - I promise you it’s worth the little bit of extra effort. Recipe for this simple lemon garlic hummus in my bio. . #graceinthecrumbs #eatgoodfeelgood #bowlofgoodness #hummuslover #snacktime #shareyourtable #makeitdelicious #cookingathome #theeverygirlcooks #ctblogger
  • Walking into Friday without a care in the world.... _______ This trip has been so good for me and my little people. Even though we spend day in and day out together - it can feel sometimes as if days go by without us really connecting. Feeling extra grateful for this week together to laugh, play and soak up some sun. . #graceinthecrumbs #intentionalliving #childhoodunplugged #letthembelittle #soakingitup #mothersanddaughters
  • This vacation with the kids has been all about three things -swimming, sleeping in bunk beds, and of course....ice cream!! ________ All of this ice cream eating here on vacation has me craving this salted caramel coconut ice cream I made a few months ago. It was so creamy and delicious Lillian still talks about it (and she’s kind of a sweets expert 😉). Easy, dairy free, and oh so yummy 🍦 .

  • Finding a balance that works for me is an always changing ebb and flow. Sometimes I push harder on personal passions of mine, and other days I surrender into the pull of motherhood. But either way, I sincerely try my hardest to be intentional with how I spend my time - and be present in those moments. _________ This week week we are shutting things down here in Connecticut as we head out for some much needed family time away. This week for me is all about slowing down and being present with my little ones. _________ Because of that, I plan on being a little quieter here on social media as well. Something that would have made me anxious about before - I know understand is vital in keeping me healthy, inspired and joyful. I hope all of you can find a break, or a little time to slow things down, this week as well. ———— Ok time to shut off these kitchen lights and get my crew buckled up in the minivan for our long card ride! 4 kids and 20 hours of driving - I’m sure this is going to a great time for all 🤦‍♀️. I’m already practicing my deep breathing 🧘🏻‍♀️ . #graceinthecrumbs #intentionalliving #mindfulliving #presentoverperfect #stayingpresent #positiveparenting #mindfulparenting #floridaorbust
  • It’s taken me a while, but I no longer view healthy eating as a “diet” or a list of restrictions. In fact, I see it as just the opposite. I see it as a lifestyle based on the idea of ABUNDANCE. An abundance of beautiful, wholesome ingredients just waiting to be explored. _______ Eating healthy for me is all about giving my body an abundance of food that make me feel good - mentally and physically. Which is why I love playing around with grain bowls. Essentially bowls filled with you favorite grains and veggies all smothered in a delicious sauce. ______ Here I’ve created a spicy Buddha bowl filled with sweet potatoes, @lotusfoods forbidden rice (which is my all time favorite rice) avocados and cabbage - all smothered in a spicy peanut dressing. Whoever said healthy eating was boring - never had this. . link to this recipe (and MORE) in my profile. . #graceinthecrumbs #eatgoodfood #eatrealfood #eattherainbow #veganrecipes #mindfuleating #intentionalliving #buddhabowl #grainbowl #vegetarianrecipes #feedfeedvegan #food52 #huffposttaste #foodblogger #ctblogger
  • Someone decided he wasn’t going to nap today so I got some extra cuddle time with my littlest monkey. ________ My first reaction when I heard him playing around in his room was frustration. I love being with my littles, but I equally love my alone time when they’re napping. ___________ But rather than fight it, and only make things worse, I took a few deep breaths and went to scoop him up. I surrendered to the fact that today this little guy was going to be around - a lot. _________ This may seem like something small, and in the scheme of things, it is. But accepting things they way they are, instead of wishing they were different is something I’m constantly working on. Whether it’s with my kids, my marriage or even how I view myself. Accepting what “is”, and embracing it, regardless of how big or small, brings more peace and grace into my life. _________ Maybe this is something we’re all working on - accepting what’s right in front of us, exactly as it is. How do you embrace “what is”? Share with us.... . . #graceinthecrumbs #intentionalliving #mindfulparenting #mindfulliving #positiveparenting #findingjoy #choosejoy #peacefulparenting
  • I woke up this morning to find snow covering the ground. Not what I was expecting on April 2nd 🤦‍♀️. But instead of letting this white powdery mess get me down - I’m digging into leftovers of this delicious spring pasta. It may not help melt the snow, but it certainly helped brighten my mood. ________ I hope wherever you are on this Monday afternoon, you’re enjoying a little bit of sunshine and your own taste of spring (even if you are looking at snow outside your window) . .
