In less than a month it feels like everything went

In less than a month it feels like everything went from 0 to 60. Today we did our best to take life back to 0 and take a deep (socially distant) breath. I’m grateful for my littlest baby who made it a little bit easier for this mama to just CHILL today when the child who never stops moving actually stopped moving... and fell asleep on my chest. 💙 He gave me a moment of bliss in the middle of this craziness. I needed it. And I’m sure you need it, too. I hope that somehow a little moment of bliss will sneak into your day today, too. If it did, will you take a moment to tell me about it? Because I think we could all benefit from reading about little moments that brought some peace, normalcy, happiness, hope or calm back into this chaos. 🤍

A hand-washing song for your little ones to help get those germs AWAY! 🦠 ❌ Chase learned this one at preschool this week and we’ve been singing it a million times a day. 💦 Another idea I’ve heard from parents to help get kids to spend the adequate amount of time washing their hands ➡️ Put a stamp on your little one’s hand at the beginning of the day and make it their goal to wash their hands enough times for the stamp to be off by bed time.
How are you guys handling the COVID-19 virus news? How are things in your area? It seems like everyone Charlotte is on high alert and we’re doing our best in our house to wash, wash, wash our hands and stay on top of developments in our area. So far school has not been canceled and we’re still considered “low risk” but I am doing my best to take things seriously without switching into panic mode. I feel deeply for those who will be suffering the most from this virus — not only through their health and mental health but also through their finances, businesses, etc. It’s so much to handle and I hope and pray we can all be proactive and show each other care, love and compassion right now. 💙

I have a new muffin recipe coming your way on the

I have a new muffin recipe coming your way on the blog! These fluffy and wholesome Whole Wheat Pecan Banana Muffins are naturally sweetened with banana and maple syrup and every bite includes a delicious crunch thanks to nutrient-dense pecans! 🍌 An added bonus: They’re freezer-friendly and kid approved! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
From start to finish it should take you less than 30 minutes to make a batch of these pecan banana muffins (including baking time) so they come together fast! Oh and if you have a child who loves helping you in the kitchen like I do, let them be the one to chop up the pecans because they will think that's the coolest part of this recipe! (For a kid-friendly chopping method, pour whole pecans into a zip-top bag and let them smack the nuts with the back of a spoon until they're "chopped.") ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Though I snack on pecans because I love their flavor (especially when they're candied -- can't stop, won't stop), I love incorporating them into the recipes I feed my family because they're nutritional rockstars. A one-ounce serving offers a nice boost of plant-based protein and fiber to keep our family feeling satisfied for longer. Since my boys would happily survive on #allthecarbs, incorporating sources of fiber and protein into their diets is very important to me. When I can do that in muffin-form, I'm all about it! Find this recipe in partnership with @americanpecan on the blog at https://www.pbfingers.com/whole-wheat-pecan-banana-muffins/ YUM! #ad #pecansuperpowers⁠

Some pics from our weekend in Sanford, North Carolina celebrating Michael & Amy’s baby girl! 💗 Thank goodness for Airdrop and family members who do a better job snapping pictures than I do because I have them to thank for every single one of these gems. 🥰 Loved these past few days with some of my favorite people on the planet.
