We’ve all seen her. The mom who would do anything for her family. The mom who would give her everything to help her family be the happiest and healthiest they can be. The mom who is giving her everything for that goal.
Literally, she is giving it all.
And leaving nothing for herself.
She’s the mom who is packing lunches, making homemade baby food, spending time meal planning and making healthy snacks for her kids, but skipping her own breakfast.
She’s the mom who is running her kids from activity to activity, but missing her own workouts because there just isn’t time.
She’s the mom who is scrambling to keep the house clean, get the laundry done, and keep the house in order, but never asks for help so she can have a little time for herself.
She’s the mom who helps her kids with their homework, arranges tutoring when they need extra support, makes sure they are studying for their tests, yet can’t remember the last time she read something to improve her mind.
She’s the mom who makes sure her kids have clean clothes, are well-dressed, have combed and styled hair, yet is sporting a pony tail and sweat pants for the fourth day in a row.
She’s the mom who wants the best for her family, and does so much for them, that she forgets about herself.
Her family is her joy, yet you can see it in her eyes.
She’s tired. She’s on the edge. Her skin, hair, body, and voice all tell the story.
Her health and well-being are suffering.
She knows something needs to change, but she doesn’t know how to get off the hamster wheel. How can she sacrifice all she does…for herself?
Is this you?
I’m here to tell you that your health is important. Yes, YOUR HEALTH.
I get it. You want your family to be healthy and happy and your home to run well. You feel like it’s selfish to do anything for yourself, and you don’t have time to focus on things like your physical and mental health.
But remember this. When you focus on your own health, you ARE helping your family. A vibrant, healthy, happy mom is the best gift you can give your family. That’s pretty much the opposite of selfish.
You can get there. Start small, but start. Start today. Focus on YOU.
Need a little boost? A road map?
I created something to help you. It’s called The Healthy Living Playbook and it’s just what you need to start focusing on your health. The Healthy Living Playbook won’t do the work for you. It won’t take the time you need to focus on yourself. You have to do that part.
But it will be a guide for you. It will be an source of motivation and inspiration. Words. Words that can direct you, give you a push in the direction you need to go.
Maybe you already know what you should do to get healthy. Maybe you don’t have a clue where to start. Either way, The Healthy Living Playbook can help.
Maybe you’ll learn something new, or maybe you’ll just get the nudge you need to do the things you’ve been meaning to do for months or even years now. Want the Playbook? It’s free. Click on the image below for you copy. Don’t wait another minute to focus on YOU.

I finally did it, and guess what? You only need four ingredients. Super easy and so delicious. You can start now and have this amazing snack in less than 20 minutes. 
The kids know that if it’s an Annie’s product, it’s on my “yes” list. Let’s face it. Kids are drawn to colorful, fun boxes, but so many times those are not foods I feel great bringing into my house. It’s reassuring to know the Annie’s products we love are certified organic, made without GMOs, synthetic flavors, colors, or preservatives.
How exciting to get two fun new cereals, right? I remember being excited about new cereal as a kid and my kids are the same way.
These cereals will definitely make busy back-to-school mornings easier. My kids are a little strange in that they eat their cereal dry instead of with milk. When they eat cereal for breakfast, I like to pair it with something easy and fresh, like a piece of fruit.
Second helpings are easy enough for my five-year-old to help himself. Not that he’d let me help him. He can do everything himself.
Once upon a time, finding a healthy energy bar at the grocery store was pretty much impossible. There just weren’t any choices. Now there’s a lot of choices, but the healthy part is questionable. So many energy bars are filled with too much added sugar and other ingredients that are less than super.
When you need quick, on-the-go energy, these Superfood Bars are perfect. Busy mamas, I’m talking to you. You’ll want to keep one of these super energy bars in your purse at all times.
