"Mommy, will you still be my mommy when I'm big?" "Yes! I'll be your mommy always!" "What about if I'm a mommy. Will you still be my mommy then?" "Yep, even then. You'll always have me as your mommy." "Oh good! Because I'm going to need you to teach me how to be a good mommy like you." We all need a reminder from time to time that we are doing things right and to cherish that special pedestal our kids unconditionally put us on. . . . . . . . . #ig_motherhood #motherhood #parenthood #unitedinmotherhood #littleandbrave #letthembelittle #dailyparenting #motherhoodrising #momlife #momblogger #mom #healthyfamily #darlingweekends #darlingmoments #littlemoms #childhood #naturalparenting #therearenosupermoms


She brings me love. She brings me light. She brings me tears. She brings me challenges. She brings me hope. She brings me determination. She brings so many incredible things to my life and this journey of motherhood. As soon as I held her, I knew life would never be the same...because it could only be more beautiful with her in it. . To the mamas of all walks of life, who have loved (and some who have lost)...Happy Mother’s Day. The world is more beautiful place because of your little one and the love you pour into them 💕 #motherhoodrising #mothersday #motherhood #parenthood


Did you know you can use strawberry tops to infuse your water?💦🍓 ....or add to smoothies (they are totally edible) .....or compost (the worms with thank you) .....or feed to animals (apparently dogs and chickens love them) Do you have another crafty way to use your strawberry tops?

Have you guys tried these One-Bowl Peanut Butter Carrot Blondies yet? 🤤😋 I've made so many batches of them that I've lost count and tried them oodles of different ways (I love them with made #eggfree because they are SUPER fudge) and my family goes batty over this EASY #veggieloaded treat. They are made in one bowl, naturally gluten free, vegan and pretty much heaven in edible form. . . . https://www.thenaturalnurturer.com/blog/peanut-butter-carrot-blondies-gluten-free


Do you have a recipe in mind for this Mother's Day? In our house, this Smoked Salmon Spinach & Goat Cheese Frittata is our annual tradition and I am countitdown the days until I get to enjoy it... fresh brewed coffee ☕️ of course...and hopefully served to me in bed 🤞🏻 . So delicious and easy for even the most unseasoned of cooks, it’s the perfect thing to wake up to or prepare for your favorite mama. Plus, the leftovers (if there are any 🤭) are a magical thing on a Monday morning! Just saying... . . . . https://www.thenaturalnurturer.com/blog/2017/5/28/smoked-salmon-spinach-goat-cheese-frittata


You know that book, If You Give A Moose A Muffin? Well, I feel like I need to write a version about Oatmeal Green Smoothie Muffins....because *so much* happens when you give a child (or yourself) one of these puppies. 💚 The list goes on and on as to why I make these Green Smoothie Muffins…and why so many of you share them with your family. It is one of my most popular recipes *ever* and has been such a turning point with an unbelievable number of you when it comes to your kids and food. 💚 I so adore the pictures, emails and DMs I get from all of you, sharing your little ones cooking these muffins with you…and then quickly devouring them. I love hearing about your successes. I love hearing how they helped your child be less afraid of green foods. I love hearing how they have changed your own eating habits! 💚 These muffins started my vision of the #veggieloadapproach, because I believe adding a veggie at every meal shouldn’t be hard or boring. That adding a veggie to every meal can add so much to your health and wellness. That veggies can be exciting and delicious. 💚 You can find this recipe (along with so many more #veggieloaded recipes) by following my link in bio or hitting up my blog 💚 https://www.thenaturalnurturer.com/blog/oatmeal-green-smoothie-muffins . . . . . . . . . . #hiddenveggies #kidsnacks #healthykidsnacks #motherhood #ig_motherhood #parenthood #greensmoothie #kidseatingwhole #realfood #realfoodfamily #realfoodkids #naturalparenting #realfoodsnacks #glutenfree #nutrition #jerf #wholefood #dairyfree #feedfeed #realnaturalkids #healthyfoodshare #momlife #motherhoodrising #todayfood #healthy #momblogger #huffposttaste #pbsfood


Saturday breakfast conversation: "We have everything we need. A nice house. A nice dog. A nice life." -Alice 👧🏼 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Ken and I have been very intentional about sharing what we are grateful for on a daily basis. Mostly just for us and to help us enter a day with gratitude instead of focusing on what our life is lacking. But our new daily practice is clearly being overheard by little ears and has rubbed off on her. Gratitude is contagious, guys...✨ #healthisntjustwhatyoueat #healthythoughts #motherhood


☁️Do you like cauliflower? ☁️Tell me your favorite way to eat it below! 👇🏻Truth be told, cauliflower is not my favorite veggie. But I know it is high in fiber and a really great source of vitamins and minerals. And since it is also a veggie I can typically find year round, I keep it in our fridge and in our diet in some creative ways.: ☁️ 💥raw with a really good dip or dressing. Dip can be magical in making a veggie more appealing. 💥served “riced” as part of meal. Sometimes we like to blend it with cooked quinoa or rice 💥roasted. Roasting really brings out wonderful flavors in most veggies and is a great way to add herbs and spices to cauliflower (we love it with garlic and a little sea salt) 💥frozen and blended into a smoothie! Sounds out-of-the-box but it is a total must-try! This is my favorite Creamy Cauliflower & Blueberry Smoothie (on the blog) 💥mashed! We like to make mashed cauliflower as a side of a meal and sometimes will add white potatoes into the mix! 💥in meatballs! Skip the breadcrumbs in meatballs and add some riced cauliflower. This is my daughter’s favorite way to eat cauliflower and they couldn’t be easier to make! #veggieloadedapproach . . . . . . .#veggieloaded #healthyfamily #nutrition #jerf #wholefood #healthykids #realfood #healthykid #ig_motherhood #cleaneating #realnaturalkids #healthyfoodshare #momlife #motherhoodrising #healthyeah #parenthood #healthykids #todayfood #healthy #momblogger #healthyfamily
