First time my baby had broccoli and it was a success! He wasn’t too sure at first but then gobbled it up! 

I just steamed some broccoli and then puréed it with breastmilk. Super easy! I’m starting with purées and then we will move into the baby led weaning method with a big chunk of cooked broccoli. 

I’m on a mission to have him eat (and like!) veggies so I’m starting them early and introducing often. Moms, what are your tricks to get your baby or toddler to eat veggies?
Just a first time mom trying to figure it out ❤️ Just a first time mom trying to figure it out ❤️

I’ll just be here enjoying the baby phase while refusing to subscribe to “bounce back” culture 💁🏼‍♀️

Motherhood has been such an identity shift for me, but in the best way. I don’t want to be who I was pre-pregnancy. I’ve grown, and learned, and become stronger, while also softened at the same time. 

My body has stretch marks and is softer than it was. But why would I want to erase the evidence of what has made me a mom?

Body image is something I’ve struggled with in the past, and I still have days where I my body still feels foreign, but I’m also learning to appreciate my body for all it has done for me ❤️
Yesterday was one of those motherhood days. I was Yesterday was one of those motherhood days.

I wasn’t feeling well, and my little guy is teething, so he was extra fussy and needed lots of snuggles. It’s hard enough being sick, but being sick while taking care of a baby is a whole different level.

I ate a little breakfast and a small lunch, but I was so distracted by the day I didn’t feel very hungry. The day felt long, I was tired, and I was counting down the minutes until my husband got home.

When he finally walked through the door, he brought Thai food. I didn’t even sit down to eat. I just scarfed it down while standing in the kitchen. 

And almost immediately, I felt better. Not 100%, but enough to realize something….

As moms, we’re so busy taking care of everyone else that sometimes we forget to take care of ourselves. We keep going, push through, and put our own needs on the back burner.

But food matters.

Sometimes the difference between feeling completely drained and feeling like you can handle the rest of the day is simply eating a nourishing meal.

I’ve done this more times than I’d like to admit while postpartum… 

But it’s also one of the reasons I’m so passionate about helping moms with simple meals and recipes. Because feeding ourselves is so important yet can be so overlooked. It’s part of how we show up for the people who need us most.

So consider this your reminder today, mama:

Have a snack. Eat lunch. Order the takeout if you need to.

And If you’re in the thick of motherhood today, I see you. 🤍

I love how easy these air fryer wings are. Pair it with a simple salad and dinner is done with just a few minutes of prep. Which is much needed right now with a teething baby 😅

You know those nights… where it’s 5pm, you have no You know those nights… where it’s 5pm, you have no plan for dinner, and you’re tempted to just grab take out.

All I knew was I had ground beef in the fridge and needed something easy….

So I made this ground beef and broccoli! 

I browned the meat, made an easy savory sauce made with coconut aminos, garlic, ginger and few other pantry staples, used frozen broccoli, and made some white rice. 

And just like that dinner was done! And bonus points because I also was able to unload the dishwasher while it was simmering. 

I call that a win! 😍
