Basically since a day or two after I left the hospital with my 3rd baby, 6 weeks ago, I have been running full throttle, as always. I have had a continuous to do list and as I mark one thing off 2 more seem to be added. This last month I have felt like more and more has been on my mind and I have been getting more and more behind and that’s not even factoring in that I just had a baby!

With all of this said, I have had this weighing thought on my mind, a thought that keeps reoccurring. ‘Am I REALLY doing what I am called to do?’ I kept telling myself that the answer was YES! I want to be a stay at home mom but get out of the house with adults from time to time as to not loose myself and who I am.
Well, I am spending 95% of my time with my kids, spending the other 5% of my time with amazing co-workers and clients doing what I love and then mixed in there I am able to help others live a healthier lifestyle. So again, YES I am doing exactly what I am called to do! But why was I so stressed? Why am I not fulfilled? Why was I not touching more lives? Was the answer really yes? Well…
I believe that what God has been telling me lately (well, who am I kidding, God has been telling me probably for a long time) to SLOW DOWN!
So, my husband and I took a step back last week and looked at what was on our plate. We looked at HOW we were spending our time. Had we been blocking time out for the things that were most important and saying no to those things that might not fit right now?
Having these extra things on our schedule, on our mind and in our lives seemed to be draining us of energy that we need to be spending toward what God has called us to do.

This might seem counterproductive but I then started to plan how to add a couple more avenues to my rapture so that I may better live out what I believe is my calling–helping others live a healthier lifestyle on the inside & out! This is my passion! This is something that really brings me joy! I truly love to help others feel better about themselves.

Anyway, I am so excited to clear out some things and embark on some additional adventures so I can hopefully touch even more lives, plus focus more on my little ones and the home that we are creating.

I am pumped to share my new adventure, of having a blog, with you. I hope that each blog post, each recipe, each adventure in my life becomes a blessing for your life as much as I pray they become a blessing to my life!
