The EASIEST shirt dress that’s 100% cotton and under $30 right now. It’s a home run for me but honestly I wouldn’t have given it a second look unless I had seen it on a friend at church and it looked so chic and elevated.

I’ve been seeing increasing amounts of “health

I’ve been seeing increasing amounts of “health” related content that is extremely triggering for those who have dealt with disordered eating - especially as we approach “swimsuit season.” 🤪 And while I’m not here to tell others what to post, I am here to remind YOU to curate your feed and guard your heart and mind.
.
.
As someone who has had a complicated relationship with her body and recovered from disordered eating and still occasionally finds herself falling into unhealthy mental patterns if I’m not diligent, this is your reminder that true HEALTH looks like focusing on how your body FEELS, actual bio-markers of health (such as labs and blood work) and your body’s ability to perform in life and in whatever physical activities you partake in.
.
.
For me, that looks like steering clear of anyone and anything promoting “bikini body” plans or ways of eating, before and after photos, restrictive eating (unless it’s for a medical reason, allergy, etc) and, yes, obsessive macro counting or protein consumption.
.
.
While I’m not an expert, I am someone who has lived this and learned through many decades of trial and error as I’ve learned to love my body and care for it well without obsessing over it. Follow positive accounts like @diet.culture.rebel and others who share health focused, anti-diet content.
.
.
PS: my best advice is to find a sport or physical activity that’s demanding and forces you to FUEL for performance and shifts the focus from how you look to what your body is capable of. It’s SO helpful! #health #heathyliving #antidiet #fitmom #momlife #momof4

Honestly, between making amazing black coffee (with heavy cream) at home and this creamy frozen high protein coffee, I rarely ever get coffee shop coffee and my wallet and my health are both better off.

I love this quote so much. I’ve been thinking since I got this text earlier in the week from my husband about how our “in the mud” people really give us wings to be brave, to withstand hard times, to be vulnerable, to risk failure and to rest easy in it all knowing we aren’t alone.
.
.
Tag an “in the mud” person in the comments and let them know you’re thankful for them. ❤️❤️

Life got a whole lot better and more fun when I stopped making clothing choices based on what I thought I should wear and started dressing in things that felt like “me.” These jeans have been my FAVORITE denim purchase this year. And the white t-shirt is the best t shirt I’ve ever owned.

I’m working on getting serious about getting my hair healthy after a season of hair loss due to low iron. Now that my iron levels are back on track and my hair is starting to grow again 🎉🎉 I’m in full rebuild and regrow mode.
.
.
I’m new to these two hair care products but I’m SO blown away by the difference they have made in a short amount of time. My hair has never felt this soft or shiny without feeling heavy or weighed down.

After a particularly rough mom morning after a particularly rough last couple weeks, I went to God’s word needing these reminders for myself. I cried as I read these truths, so thankful for the hope and encouragement they provided me. Maybe you could use a little reminding, too. ❤️❤️

THE jacket you need for spring. Trust me. It’s so surprisingly cute and light enough to wear as the weather warms up. Plus it’s currently on sale and under $30. Comment “jacket” for the link!

Somewhere along the lines after my fourth baby I lost a little bit of my joy and motivation for getting dressed every day and slipped into a cycle of non stop activewear. But the truth is, I feel better and am more productive when I take the time to get dressed. If you’re a fellow woman needing some hand holding and inspiration to get dressed each day, I’m glad you’re here. Let’s do it together. ❤️❤️
.
Ps: pretty excited to have found what I think is THE best plain white t shirt ever. And it’s on sale right now! I sized up to a medium and then tossed it in the dryer on accident and it fits perfect. 🤣
.
.
Comment “Shop The Look” for all the links sent straight to your DM’s. Many of the items pictured here I’ve had for YEARS which just goes to show that quality fits can stand the test of time and still look and feel great years later.

Sometimes it’s the little things that are added to an outfit that make you look and feel more put together. My little additions? Lip color. Cute shoes. Earrings. And non toxic perfume. #momstyle #momlife #easystyle #midwestmom

This is my renovation soundtrack. And with that, the living room feels DONE. It’s been a lot of work, a lot of paint, and a lot of rearranging of furniture to find what works but this feels really really good. It’s such a special room and it’s been fun to see it transform! #renovation #homereno #home #homesweethome #fixerupper #midwesthome

When you work really hard to keep a tidy house but you have four little kids and things feel more like a frat house than anything else. 🤣🫠🤪

Not pictured: two naked little boys running around with wet feet out of the bath, three cats who are supposed to be outside, wet feet everywhere, someone who accidentally peed on the floor and a kid who booby trapped his sister into her room with tape. 🤣🤣

I’m not an alcohol girlie but I am a drinks girl

I’m not an alcohol girlie but I am a drinks girlie through and through. Always have been (just ask my husband) So when I say something is good, you can trust me. This has been my go-to drink lately and it feels so fun and fancy while also providing clean non-jittery energy, stress-supportive ingredients like l-theanine and ashwagandha, and helping regulate blood sugar and provide a little gut-friendly fermentation.
.
.
Combine 1 Pomegranate Energy Fizz, 1 scoop Pink Lemonade Inner Calm, 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar, 12-14 oz water and a squirt of lemon juice. Add ice and drink immediately. ❤️

I’ve wanted to do a “What I Eat” for a while

I’ve wanted to do a “What I Eat” for a while and finally documented a full day’s worth of eats. My focus is fiber, whole foods, and foods that make my body feel great. I found years ago that when I made fiber a huge focus of my food choices, it boosted how satiated I felt and left my gut feeling amazing. Bye bye bloat and stomach pain and excess weight, if I’m being honest.
.
.
Did you know most women aren’t getting the recommended 25 grams of fiber each day? This day’s worth of eating stacked up to 41 grams 🎉🎉
.
.
Pictured: coffee with heavy cream, smoothie (with frozen banana, Arbonne FeelFit Simply1 protein, GutHealth fiber, #unsweetened oat milk without the added junk (planet oat), and peanut butter), matcha with mct oil, GreenSynergy Elixir, Salad (with cauliflower chicken nuggets, mixed greens, avocado, tomato and sweet potato fries), and easy dinner of oat bran with pb, flax, hemp and chia seeds.

Skinny jeans are “back” according to some people. I put mine on for the first time in a while and felt really sad I had ever stopped wearing them in the first place. They are SO comfy IMO.
.
.
Honestly this year I’ve decided it’s very “out” to let fashion trends determine what your personal style is. When you pull back, you can see so clearly that it’s all just an endless attempt to make you buy more to keep up with trends. But what’s always in is personal style that makes you feel good!
.
.
These jeans are seven years old. The top is just as old. The shoes are four years old. No one made money on this look. 🤣
.
.
Are you a fan of the return of skinny jeans? #momstyle #momlife #fashiontrends #fashion
