Ok friends, a little late is better than never. F

Ok friends, a little late is better than never. Friday favorites are finally up - and I love so many things in this week’s post.
.
I’m sharing my new favorite @frame jeans and @hm sweater (that I’m wearing here). Along with some great gift idea for Valentine’s Day 💕, & what I’m using nightly to keep my skin looking healthy and glowing.
.
Hope your weekends are all off to a great start. I’m off to cuddle with this little nugget and negotiate bed time. Pray for me. .

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.

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. .

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 🤗).

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? ❤️

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 💕
