✨ 4 Years Between These Fairy Wings 🧚🏼‍♀️💕 ✨

4 years ago, I stood at Sesame Place, put on Abby Cadabby’s fairy wings & snapped a picture 🥹🦋

This weekend, I got to recreate it 4 years later…& WOW, so much LIFE has happened between these two photos ❤️

My body has changed.
My family has grown.
I’ve walked through another twin pregnancy, postpartum, healing, growth & so many different seasons of my health journey

But this transformation means so much more than what changed physically

Four years later, I got to come back w/ ALL 4 of my babies - my 3 boys AND my baby girl 🥹❤️

& the part that really got me? This time I wasn’t the only girl wearing the fairy wings…

I got to take a fairy wings picture w/ my DAUGHTER 🧚🏼‍♀️🧚🏼‍♀️💕😭

4 years ago, I couldn’t have imagined everything that would happen before I stood in this exact spot again

Sometimes a transformation photo isn’t really about your body at all. Sometimes it shows you just how much your LIFE has grown and changed ❤️

& THIS is one I’ll treasure forever 🥹🦋

✨ If you could show the YOU from 4 years ago ONE picture from your life today, what would surprise her the most? Tell me below! 👇🏼💕

Yay!!! 🥹❤️💕

💖 Manhattan just gave Dolly Parton her own day—and we can’t think of a more fitting tribute.

September 25 has officially been proclaimed Dolly Parton Appreciation Day in Manhattan, honoring the country music legend, philanthropist and woman behind some of the most beloved songs of all time. 🎶✨

From “Jolene” to “9 to 5,” she’s given us decades of songs, stories and a whole lot of heart. 🥹💕

✨ Supporting My Hormones Through Nutrition ✨

One thing I’ve learned is that I can’t control every hormonal fluctuation…but I CAN support my body with how I nourish it ❤️

For me, nutritional balance looks like:

🦋 Prioritizing protein at meals to help keep me satisfied & support muscle
🦋 Not fearing healthy fats - avocado, olive oil, eggs, nuts & other nourishing sources
🦋 Choosing quality carbs like fruit, beans, whole grains & starchy veggies instead of thinking carbs are the enemy
🦋 Eating plenty of veggies & fiber to support digestion & overall health
🦋 Keeping blood sugar in mind instead of constantly riding the sugar-crash-craving roller coaster
🦋 Actually eating enough instead of believing less food automatically equals better results

Hormonal balance isn’t about finding ONE magical food, supplement or quick fix. Our hormones are influenced by so many things - nutrition, sleep, stress, movement, age & different seasons of life.

For me, it’s about consistently giving my body the protein, nutrients, healthy fats & energy it needs while paying attention to what my body is telling me🙌🏼

Nourish your body instead of constantly fighting against it 🦋

✨ What’s ONE area of nutrition you could give a little more attention to this week - protein, veggies, healthy fats, quality carbs or simply eating more balanced meals? Tell me below! 👇🏼❤️

✨Knowing What to Do Isn’t Always the Problem✨

Have you ever thought…

“I KNOW how to lose weight. I know what I’m supposed to eat. So WHY can’t I just stick w/ it?” 😩

Maybe the problem isn’t that you need MORE information.

Maybe you need a plan you can actually return to when life happens 💕

Because anyone can follow a plan when motivation is high and life is cooperating.

The real skill is learning what to do after the stressful week, vacation, celebration, sick kids, missed workouts or meal that didn’t go as planned.

🦋 Today’s tip: Create ONE “return-to” habit

Something so simple you can do it even on your messiest days.

Maybe it’s:
Protein at breakfast.
A 10-minute walk.
Drinking your water.
Adding veggies to one meal.

Instead of saying, “I fell off. I’ll start again Monday,” you have 1 habit that keeps you connected to your journey.

You don’t need to know more.

You need to learn how to keep going 🦋

✨ What would YOUR one “return-to” habit be? Drop it below 👇🏼 - & if staying consistent is the part you struggle w/ most, comment “CONSISTENCY” ❤️

We need to excercise and move people! We don’t want to turn out like the humans in Wall-E with no muscle mass & just sedentary!

Yikes.

✨ I FINALLY FOUND THEM! 🥳🥔 ✨

I have been waiting ALL SUMMER for these Boulder Canyon Potato Chips cooked in Beef Tallow to show up at my local BJ’s…& they FINALLY did! 🙌🏼😂

Just in time for Labor Day Weekend! 🇺🇸🥳

One thing I’ve learned through my THM journey is that the type of fat we choose matters - especially when it comes to cooking & processed foods

Embracing traditional, nourishing fats, which includes things like:

🦋 Butter
🦋 Coconut oil
🦋 Avocado & avocado oil
🦋 Olive oil
🦋 Other quality fats

It is recommended that cold-pressed oils like avocado & olive oil as healthy fats, while saturated fats such as coconut oil are great options for cooking

That’s also why I was so excited to find a potato chip made w/ beef tallow instead of the long list of refined oils you often see in packaged snacks

For me, this isn’t about saying, “Potato chips are a health food!” 😂 It’s about realizing that when I DO want chips, I can look at the ingredients & choose an option that better fits the way I want to eat

Better ingredients. Better choices. Still enjoying LIFE. 🦋❤️

& these are definitely coming out for Labor Day Weekend! 😂🙌🏼

✨ Have you tried the Boulder Canyon Beef Tallow Chips yet? And tell me - are you team 🥑 avocado oil, 🥥 coconut oil, 🧈 butter or 🥩 tallow for cooking? 👇🏼

✨ Imagine What a Year Can Do 🦋 ✨

Sometimes we look at 3 years & think, “That’s such a long time…”

But then I realized…we’re already about 4 months away from the end of this year! 🤯 Where did the time go?!

& THAT is exactly why I stopped focusing so much on how long my health journey would take

Because whether it’s 3 years, 1 year, or even the next 4 months…that time is going to pass anyway 💕

My transformation didn’t happen because I woke up one morning & completely changed my life

It came from little choices like:

🦋 Prioritizing protein
🦋 Choosing water more often
🦋 Removing sugar & white flour
🦋 Adding more whole foods & veggies
🦋 Moving my body, even when it wasn’t a perfect workout
🦋 Learning to get back on track instead of “starting over”
🦋 Giving myself GRACE when life happened

None of those things seem huge on ONE random Tuesday.

But repeat those little choices over weeks, months & years?

They can completely change your life 🥹🙌🏼

Don’t let how long it might take stop you from beginning

4 months from now, you could be looking back at TODAY & saying, “I’m so glad I started then.” 💕

Small changes.
Repeated consistently.
That’s where transformation happens. 🦋

✨ If you picked ONE small habit to stay consistent w/ for the rest of this year, what would it be? Tell me below 👇🏼 - then come back to this post at the end of the year and see how far you’ve come! ❤️
