I was reading through Kelly Leveque’s Body Love book and she gives a bunch of different recipes and ideas for her Fab 4 morning smoothie.
The one I created is a spin-off of one of hers with minor tweaks and my GOODNESS is it good. I am not going to lie, I have had the same shake combo for years now so changing it up like this was big for me, but WOW am I happy I did.

I was introduced to her morning smoothie a long time ago and have been doing it ever since. Then once I had Parker I bought her book BodyLove and learned more about her way of eating and started to apply her approach to every meal. I was amazed at what happened next…
My mom and husband kept asking me what I wanted for Christmas this year, and I kept responding with “I really can’t think of anything, there’s nothing I really want or need this year”. YET every time I have bought Christmas gifts for others, I just happened to find something else that I loved and then bought… for myself.
In conclusion, I am a big fat liar OR I just really love to shop. Either way, I was able to find a couple of things that I think are great gifts this year.
My BAD habits with working from home…
(Cue – Bad Habits By Ed Sheeran)
November of 2021, 20 months after the pandemic began, I just STARTED to realize that I had created really bad habits.
Granted my life changed drastically in those 20 months, becoming a homeowner, a dog mom, and a baby mom, not to mention going through an unprecedented pandemic. As a result of all that, my daily rituals and habits drastically changed, and not in a good way.
In college one of my majors was Entrepreneurial Studies, and “The Art of the Start” was a book that was on our required reading list. If I am being completely honest, I never actually read the whole book… my dad did and he loved it. 😉 Regardless of not reading it in its entirety, the title always stuck with me. The Art of the Start.
It has taken me a month and a half to be able to have the headspace to even attempt to or want to write a blog again. Then it took another 2.5 weeks for me to sit down to write it. Then the minute I did Mr. Parker decided he wanted to be held and sit with me. So here we are, trying to sneak in sentences, with one hand, while holding a baby who is trying to push out a poop. #momlife
