by Coach Debbie Here’s how to fix the perfect shake!   Pick your liquid.  Almond milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, plant milk, chilled coffee, water, coconut water, or freshly squeezed juice.  Use 1-2 cups per person. Pick your protein powder.  Mom Fuel is dairy-free, high protein, low carb, natural, and even has collagen.  Use 1 scoop per adult (1/2 scoop for each kid). Pick your veggies.  Spinach, kale, and frozen riced cauliflower will deliver nutrients, but you won’t feel like you’re chewing a salad.  Use a fistful per person (you won’t taste the veggies). Pick your fruits.  Go with fresh or frozen,...

I’m going to let you in on a secret. I love warm weather and being outside and all things Summer activities. I love cookouts and vineyards and the beach and pools. I love picnics and parks and tanned skin and the smell of my skin after spending time outside (weird I know). BUT. The lack of routine and structure of Summer with kids kinds of makes me wild.

Recently as I worked in a coffee shop while traveling with my husband, I sat near a group of women who continually ridiculed their bodies along with those of acquaintances not at the table.  I don’t think they truly understood the power of their words or the fact that it sounded so shallow for an outsider to hear them stress so much about their physical appearance.  But I was convicted in the same moment, because I’ve done the same.  Many times. I used to stress so much over my body.  For years I didn’t nourish it properly and literally ran...

By Emily Saunders  I have absolutely NOTHING against the Elf.  The Elf is fun and hilarious and every year I am impressed by the creativity and execution by mom friends who really rock the elf.  Well done. I’ve even seen some moms do a great job of bringing Jesus and the Christmas story into the Elf game.  I applaud you!  Personally, I don’t do it.  I tried it once when my older son was little and I just couldn’t hang.  My brain is already challenged and adding one more thing to the list is just not gonna happen.  I don’t want to be the mom to mess up...

Purchasing nutritional products can be really overwhelming.  There are about 1000 options available for just about everything these days.  If you’re like me you might just want to avoid it all together.  I get it.  The quest to find quality products is challenging.  I mean REALLY challenging. The truth is most manufacturers aim to create the cheapest products possible to maximize profits.  In this culture you get people to buy nutritional products by making them look and taste good.  I find that often the same women that spend energy and effort counting macros are the ones using products full of...
