Seven Holistic Remedies to Reduce Anxiety

I’ve dreamed of these maternity photos for years

I’ve dreamed of these maternity photos for years now. In the depths of infertility, I started following @kenzishipleyphotography in 2023 with faith that one day she would take my maternity photos.

That day has come and it truly is a dream and a prayer come true. God is so good and He truly cares about the details and does exceedingly and abundantly more than we could ask, think or imagine.

These photos not only hold the memory of this pregnancy, but also as a testimony that God is a good Father and hears and answers our prayers ❤️

Psalm 113:9 says He makes the barren woman a joyful mother of children. That was my declaration and where I found my hope. And now we can praise God that he answered! “I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him.” 1 Samuel‬ ‭1‬:‭27‬ ‭

Kenzi, thank you so much for these beautiful photos and being apart of our story! If you are local, I can’t recommend her enough! ❤️❤️❤️

Recipe & tips 👇🏻

If you want to learn how to cook nourishing meals without needing a recipe every single time, here are a few tips that helped me:
 ✨ 1. Stock your pantry and freezer with staples. Think bone broth, quality meats, grains, beans, frozen veggies, and your favorite seasonings. Having a solid base on hand makes it easy to create a meal without a grocery run.
 ✨ 2. Practice swapping ingredients. Don’t have carrots? Use sweet potatoes. Out of onions? Try shallots or use onion powder. Think in categories (protein, veggie, starch, flavor) instead of exact ingredients.
 ✨ 3. Taste as you go. It helps you learn what flavors you love and teaches you to trust yourself in the kitchen.
 ✨ 4. Embrace imperfection. Real food made with love doesn’t have to look perfect to be delicious.

👉🏻 This isn’t an exact recipe, just roughly how I made this super tender pot roast! 
Ingredients: • Chuck roast • Garlic • Onion • Carrots • Potatoes • Fresh thyme • Salt + pepper • Broth

Directions: Sear the chuck roast on both sides until golden. Add everything to a Dutch oven, cover, and bake at 325°F for about 3 hours — or until fall-apart tender. That’s it. Simple, cozy, nourishing. 🫶🏼

Cooking this way saves time, money, and food waste… but most of all, it builds confidence in the kitchen.

Mama, your nourishment matters more than you know.

I love meals that don’t really need a recipe—just a little creativity, what you have on hand, and a whole lot of love! ❤️

This chili started as a way to use up some smoked brisket we had in the freezer, and it turned into the coziest dinner. I made a big batch and tucked a few jars away in the freezer—it’s such a gift to my future self.

Especially as I’m prepping for postpartum, I’m thinking ahead to those days when time and energy feel low. Having nourishing meals ready to go means one less thing to stress about, and I can focus on rest, recovery, and soaking up baby snuggles.

Even if you’re not postpartum, freezing extra chili is so helpful for those busy weeks or rainy days when you just want something warm, hearty, and satisfying without any effort.

Here’s what I added to my pot: ✨ Spices: chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, chipotle, salt + pepper ✨ Protein: ground beef + smoked brisket ✨ Veggies: garlic, onion, bell pepper ✨ Basics: fire roasted green tomatoes, pinto beans, bone broth

Let it all simmer for about an hour and… perfection.
 Full of flavor, protein, and comfort.

There’s just something special about meals like this—where you don’t need exact measurements or a strict recipe… you just cook from the heart and nourish the people you love. 🥣 (And this chili was hubby approved!!)
