It’s snowing here in Chicago ❄️, Frankie is It’s snowing here in Chicago ❄️, Frankie is sound asleep and I’m about to sit down and enjoy this warm and cozy curried butternut squash & lentil soup. I’m pretty sure this will be the most serene and relaxing 30 minutes of my week 🙏.....at least until I hear someone scream 😅. . This soup is one of my favorite clean, healthy recipes in the winter. It’s so cozy, hearty and warm - you’ll forget it’s actually dairy free and good for you. . Link to this soup and more in my bio. . #eatgoodfeelgood #eatrealfood #eatrealfoodmostlyplants #cleaneatingrecipe #mindfuleating #begoodtoyourbody #fuelyourbodyright #whatsforlunch #soupseason #veganrecipes #curry #lentilsoup #butternutsquashsoup #shareyourtable #imsomartha #wholefoodsmarket
Big news. I think today is the first day of 2020 Big news. I think today is the first day of 2020 that I actually have real clothes on 😅. I have a few meetings in the city and felt like my yoga pants deserved a day off. . I just grabbed this super cute skirt and boots on major sale at @nordstrom and @bananarepublic - and linked this whole outfit over in the @liketoknow.it app, along with a few other steals I found. . #liketoknowit #liketoknowitunder100 #bananarepublic #nordstrom
This time of year for me is all about slowing down This time of year for me is all about slowing down and cleaning up my act. My diet, my wellness routine and even my beauty and skincare routine. . I am a firm believer that what you put ON your body is just as important as what you put IN your body. Which is why whenever I can - I TRY and use only clean products on my skin, and even more importantly, on my little ones. . I know a lot of you feel the same - but it it can be really overwhelming at times to try and “clean” up everything at once. So my advice - just pick ONE thing. Make a #cleanswap of just one product this week and then go from there. Little changes and choices add up. You don’t have to do it all at once. Even just swapping out one toxic product from your routine WILL make a difference. . If you need suggestions on where to start, I have a few posts on my blog all about my favorite clean beauty products. Or better yet - shoot me a message - there’s nothing I love more than chatting with all of you ❤️(especially about skincare 🤗). . 📷 @hannahschweissphotography . #cleanswap #betterbeauty #cleanbeauty #cleanskincare #beautycounter #safeskincare #begoodtoyourbody #momanddaughtertime #myminime💕 #mylittlelady

I’m really excited about this week’s roundup because it’s filled with all the goodies that are helping me get back in shape. Everything from what I’m wearing to the gym, my workout bag, down to what I’m listening to and even how I’m eating. All my favorite things to keep me feeling GOOD ✨ . I know a lot of you are feeling like me - and ready to get back to feeling good in your skin - so hopefully some of these things keep you inspired and motivated as you’re on your own health and wellness journey. . What about you?! What’s some of your favorite workout gear? Any favorite shoes or even a favorite podcast to workout too?!! Give me all your suggestions. It’s gonna be a long winter and I need to stay motivated 😉👊 . You can find the full post linked in my bio. And happy Friday to all of you 😘 . #feelgoodinyourskin #moveeveryday #fridayfavorites #aloyoga #beyondyoga #nikejoyride #thecleanprogram #liketoknowit
Friends, today is day 10 for me of the @cleanprogr Friends, today is day 10 for me of the @cleanprogram and I have to tell you - I’m feeling pretty great. . It’s amazing what a little sleep, a little movement, and a little bit of mindful eating can do for us. It’s so easy to to think that all these small little choices don’t matter - but they add up! . I had forgotten how good it feels to feel GOOD, and it’s a much welcome change. . And while I know that the @cleanprogram isn’t for everyone - for me, it’s been a great reminder to focus on the foods I love and that I know my body loves too. Foods that give me energy and make me feel good in my skin...like this avocado, fennel and quinoa salad. It’s really that simple 👌💚 . To make this salad I combined some torn greens (any greens would work, I used bibb), shaved fennel, cooked quinoa, avocado, pistachios and picked red onions (there’s a recipe for quick pickled red onions on the blog), and then topped it all with a cilantro vinaigrette. Combine 1 shallot, a handful of cilantro, 2 tbsp of citrus vinegar, 3-4 tbsp of olive oil, salt/pepper in a high speed blender. Blend for 10-15 seconds until combined. Drizzle over you gorgeous greens and enjoy. . What about you? How are you taking care of yourself? What’s ONE thing you’re doing today - to help you feel GOOD? ❤️ . #eatgoodfeelgood #eatrealfoods #foodheals #mindfuleating #eatrealfoodmostlyplants #cleanprogram #begoodtoyourbody #begoodtoyourself
Ok friends, I was feeling overly motivated this Mo Ok friends, I was feeling overly motivated this Monday morning - so it’s a “two for one” kind of Monday 😅. . I’ve got two new blog posts up for you today - all about being more mindful with your time!! . I hear people say all the time, “there’s never enough time”, or “I’m so busy”, and it drives me bonkers. We’re all busy. That’s just part of this thing called life. But there IS enough time in the day - if you’re prioritizing what really matters to you, and what you love most. . First up is all about how I’m finding more time in my day, from how I’ve organized our calendars, to our sleep schedule down to how “airplane mode” is my new best friend. . I also shared all about my morning routine (minute by minute...you think I’m joking, but I’m not 😅🤦‍♀️). I love it so much and wanted to share it with all of you. This is new for me this year and its already making such a difference in my days. A great new way to reset my focus and gain clarity on where I want my time and energy to go. For me, it’s all about how I start my day and being really intentional with where my energy is going. . If you’re anything like me, and always looking to get more out of your day - then I hope you find some tips/tools in here helpful. I know they’ve already made a huge difference for me. .

ELEVEN 💙. Eleven years ago this little boy made ELEVEN 💙. Eleven years ago this little boy made me a mama. They say it goes by in the blink of an eye, and let me tell you....it goes by even faster than that. . Last year I wrote Asher a letter for his tenth birthday - and today those words ring even truer in my heart. . “You have become one of my very favorite people on this earth. And it had nothing to do with me. It was always you - becoming who you were always meant to be. Thanks for taking me along on your ride.” . You can find the full post linked in my bio. I know all you mamas out there can relate to this one 💕 . #boymom💙 #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising #motherhoodthroughinstagram #babiesdontkeep #soakingitin #savoringthemoment #pleasestaylittlejustalittlelonger
Ok so I’m not gonna lie, the last few weeks whil Ok so I’m not gonna lie, the last few weeks while the kids were home from school, I didn’t think ONCE about what I was eating. I totally let myself go and just live in the moment. And it felt great. I have zero regrets and zero shame for letting myself eat ALL the things. If we can’t allow ourselves to just ENJOY some of the sweet things in life, then what’s the point? Life should be enjoyed. Food should be enjoyed 🤗❤️ . But....with that being said, I also think it’s about listening to our bodies, in the moment, and knowing what it needs. Last week, my body said “relax, take it easy, indulge a little”....and that felt great. But now, it’s a whole other story. My body is naturally craving lighter, healthier foods, so that’s what I’ll give it. . It’s not about dieting, depriving or shaming myself. It’s about tuning in to what my body needs, at different points. Felling GOOD and eating GOOD - whatever that looks like. . The next few weeks I’m getting back to a program I love, the @cleanprogram. I first read their book nine years ago after Lillian was born and it honestly shaped my eating habits. (I have the world’s longest explanation about it in “stories” 😅. I had no idea I could talk so much about one topic. 😂🤦‍♀️). . This Buddha bowl filled with forbidden rice, roasted sweet potatoes and a spicy peanut sauce is one of my favorite “clean” recipes. You can swap out any of the veggies, or even the rice with quinoa or another grain of your choice. There are so many great options. You can find the link for the recipe for this Buddha bowl on my bio. . What about you?! What shapes your diet? Do you follow any specific programs? I love learning from all of you - so share with me what’s worked for you! . #eatgoodfeelgood #mindfuleating #buddhabowls #buddhabowl #eatcleanrecipes
